Poetics of Literary Reading

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2017-2018 Catalog.

This research seminar offers an overall reassessment of literary reading, at the crossroads of philosophy and literary theory, with an additional interest in (cognitive) psychology.  The emphasis being on poetics, we will also examine how literary reflexive act and experience of reading.  The literary corpus of study will only include texts written in French, with no further a priori limitation in terms of era or area; it will be partially determined in concert with the students who are invited to discuss the oeuvres they focus on in their own research.  Open to both grads and advanced undergrads.

When Offered Spring.
