Course Content

The course begins with further readings from a number of critics/philosophers who paved the way for contemporary theory. Against the background of these critics, the students will apply their critical perspectives (structuralism, Marxist theory, psychoanalytical criticism, post-structuralism, postcolonial theory, feminist, gay and lesbian theory, and cultural theories) to different texts.
