ENGL 3021
Literary Theory on the Edge

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course introduces the most exciting and cutting-edge theoretical advances of the 20th and 21st centuries. 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 specificity of the literary and the enigma of language in all its forms will remain a central focus in the course. Students will have the unique opportunity to develop a theory symposium. Course open to all levels; no previous knowledge of theory required.

When Offered Fall.
