| Survey of Literary Theory |
| This course offers advanced undergraduates an introduction to major schools of literary theory and criticism, providing students with the tools to analyze texts from multiple perspectives and compare the resulting theoretical analyses. Beginning with foundational approaches such as formalism and structuralism, the course explores key movements including Marxist, feminist, psychoanalytic, postcolonial, and reader-response theories. Readings will include works by theorists such as Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, and Judith Butler. Students will examine how various frameworks shape interpretation, influence cultural discourse, and challenge traditional notions of meaning and authorship. Through close reading and critical discussion, participants will learn to apply theoretical concepts to diverse literary works, enhancing their ability to engage with texts in nuanced and informed ways. By the end of the course, students will develop a deeper understanding of the role theory plays in literary studies and acquire essential skills for advanced analysis and scholarly writing. |
