Literary Theory on the Edge

Course information provided by the 2015-2016 Catalog.

Taught by two Cornell professors active in the field, along with occasional invited guests, lectures will cover such movements as structuralism, deconstruction, trauma theory, biopolitics, human-animal studies and post-human studies. The distinctiveness of literature and the power and complexity of language in all its forms will remain a central focus in the course. Course open to all levels; no previous knowledge of theory required.
