This course aims to equip students with a firm grasp of how to frame fundamental issues in literary studies through close readings of key texts in literary theory. It aims to give students a sense of the genealogical richness of the palimpsest of texts, situations, and events in the past and present that make literary studies an exciting and important cornerstone of the arts. Students will attain a mastery of multiple means of delineating relationships between subjects, objects, and various media of cultural production in historical contexts. Basic terms used in literary analysis will also be reviewed. To facilitate engagement in creative applications of the various philosophers and theorists that form the focus of this course, we will also read numerous very short literary works, including conventional and experimental poems, flash fiction, and one-act plays. We will also listen to music and view visual and multimedia artwork, including short films, most available on YouTube.
This course is only open to graduate students in our institute.
In addition to actively participating in each class—asking questions and sharing thoughts—students will compose five short exploratory essays and one in-depth longer final research paper on a topic of their choice.
In-class active participation: 20% Short Papers (4): 40% (Lowest grade among short papers omitted from calculation of final grade.) Final Paper: 40%
