Description
Section A: Modern Literary Theory This unit will introduce learners to some of the major theoretical positions of the 20th century over issues of language, literary form and representation. It aims to acquaint the learners with a number of theories as applied to literature, such as Structuralism/Formalism, Psychoanalysis, Feminism, Queer Theory, Poststructuralism and Postcolonialism. Texts under scrutiny may range from prose to poetry and from the written to the spoken to the visual. Section B: Texts and Contexts In this unit we will examine the relationships between texts and their contexts through a selection of texts across genres and from different historical periods. Reading may focus on selected major authors or particular historical periods.
