Description

This seminar is designed to introduce Comparative Literature majors, and other interested students, to some critical terms used in contemporary literary theory and criticism, that are of importance to the comparative study of literature: “representation,” “discourse,” “ narrative,” “author,” “ideology,” “gender,” “desire,” etc. In addition, we will watch some movies, read a variety of literary texts, and discuss a selection of twentieth century theoretical pieces (from The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism), that complement and illuminate the discussion.

Course Requirements:

Evaluation will be based on regular attendance and active participation in class discussions; a short essay, based on, or inspired by the weekly readings, presented in class; and a final, substantial seminar paper.
