COLT 100 Contemporary Literary Criticism and Theory

Critical theory is an assemblage of practices used to interpret the social, political, and material structures that give meaning to diverse kinds of objects:  texts, spaces, bodies, communities, photographs, films, discourses, identities, etc. This course will consider the multiple ways in which theory has done its interpretative work on a variety of cultural productions from diverse global contexts. Texts by Barthes, Foucault, Derrida, Benjamin, Adorno, Kristeva, Butler, Lacan, Zizek, Spivak, Bhabha, Said, Fanon, and others.
