COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course, our task is to explore and interrogate some of the most prevalent poststructuralist discourses still prominent in contemporary theory and literary criticism. For purposes of orientation, the course will focus on the following theoretical movements and methodologies: Structuralism, Poststructuralism, Deconstruction, Feminism, Postcolonial Theory, Gender Studies and Marxism. By focusing on key concepts such as “subject,” “ideology,” “text,” “author,” “gender,” “sign” and others, we will examine the historical, political and aesthetic trajectories and contexts of these theoretical discourses that contemplate the questions of the human subject and her/his relation to art, texts and the world. We will probe the affiliations between texts and the world and study the ways discourses are affected by but also determine history and politics. Students will be encouraged to examine the questions and issues that are raised in the selected texts and critically engage them to formulate their own questions, consolidate their approach to texts and formulate their own views.
