This course offers an introduction to thinkers and works that have led to major changes in critical and cultural theory. Readings are short, but the extracts from philosophical and linguistic texts are quite demanding.

MAJOR READINGS

Readings selected from nineteenth and
twentieth century theoreticians such as Freud, Saussure,
Foucault, de Beauvoir, Althusser, Jameson, and from recent
feminist theory.

EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS

Frequent short papers and a longer final paper.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS

A willingness to read and reread relatively short but conceptually difficult texts. Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
