: What do we mean when we say “theory”? As the editors of The Norton
: Anthology of Theory & Criticism put it theory
: “now entails skepticism toward systems institutions and norms; a readiness
: to take critical stands and to engage in resistance; an interest in blind
: spots contradictions and distortions (often discovered to be ineradicable);
: and a habit of linking local and personal practices to the larger economic
: political historical and ethical forces of culture” (xxxiii).
: The point of theory therefore is not merely to interpret a text but rather
: more tactically to change the way we think and live. Criticism that does not
: perform this in any manner is not what we call “theory” here. But if you
: like the quotation above then you will find theory to be a powerful tool that
: will enrich (and challenge) the rest of your life. Each of the various
: approaches we will cover not only fulfills the definition of theory above but
: each is also in dialogue with each other. Theories often overlap with each
: other.
: Theory is also said to be difficult. I suppose that if it were easy,
: you'd already know it. But the difficulty derives from its unknown way of
: thinking. Another difficulty is due to a written style that deliberately
: frustrates the fast reader who’s skimming for what they already assume; the
: style is meant to slow you down and start over. Theory deliberately opposes
: what has passed for "rationality" and "common sense" for many centuries.
: Once you learn that, then it becomes easier. This is more or less like
: learning Greek: at first impossible to understand, but after learning all the
: terms just as sensible as any other language.
: Pedagogy:
: Lecture and readings are in English. Prepare the readings before class --
: usually this will require at least 7 hours of reading time plus or minus
: depending on many variables. It takes the professor about that long!
: Assignment length varies from 30 pages to 100 pages per week depending on
: the level of difficulty. In class we will have an open discussion based on
: your questions and comments and I will talk quite a lot probably more than
: you think I should but less than I think is needed. My hope is that you will
: talk as much as I do. See “Grading” below. Try to raise at least one
: question and/or comment to the seminar every week.
: Writing assignment?
: Four short comments are due. Of the 15 or so actual weeks of class, choose
: the four that interest you more. Write a 2-page comment to turn in to the
: class for that week. I’ll ask you to sign-up on our schedule for a specific
: topic ahead of time. Explain and evaluate some specific theme from our
: readings; or perhaps to at least explore and question a specific theme. Do
: not give a general overview of the reading since that's too much for a short
: presentation. If you’re not sure, then I will recommend or even assign
: examples of a“specific theme”in critical practice as applied to some famous
: poems, plays, and novels. The best way to gain proficiency is use your
: original response to puzzle through an issue from the reading. Usually I
: will ask you to present your weekly comment orally to your classmates ideally
: without reading it. By the end of the semester you’ll have five pages
: finished on five specific concepts or problems.
: Required Texts:
: ‧ Literary Theory: An Anthology 2nd edition. Edited by Michael Ryan.
: ‧ An enormous photocopy packet containing more recent publications
: Optional texts for your own reference:
: ‧ Hans Bertens' Literary Theory: The Basics_ 2nd edition
: ‧ Jeff Collins & Bill Mayblin's Introducing Derrida
: ‧ Michael Ryan’s Literary Theory: A Practical Introduction 2nd edition.
: Grading:
: ‧ Your grade is based upon the quality of your five 2-page comments and your
: weekly in-class comments. Try to say at least one thing every week, even if
: just a thoughtful question. This = 50% credit
: ‧ Final exam will consist of an in-class essay responding to three
: questions. You’ll have six optional questions to choose from. This = 50%
: credit.
