Critical Theory: Works
built 608 days ago
Writing Theory and Critical Theory discusses the growing body of work linking composition studies and literary studies. Enlisting the strategies of deconstruction, hermeneutics, postmodernism, feminism, neo-Marxism, neopragmatism, psychoanalysis, reader-response criticism, and cultural studies, the twenty-seven contributors investigate the resources that critical theory can bring to an examination of discourse. Composition teachers, critical theorists, and writing program administrators will find this collection a provocative and insightful overview of the field of composition studies.

By definition, critical theory and cultural studies cannot be confined within traditional subject boundaries. Rather, these are forms of analysis that occur between disciplines, bringing together many different ways of thinking about the manifestations of culture. Within the English Programme at Canterbury, courses contributing to this path of study focus on those aspects of critical theory and cultural studies that have special relevance for the exploration of written, visual and performance texts: questions of taste and value, popular and elite culture; issues of gender and sexuality; the working-out and display of identity, conflict and exchange; the shifting relationships between human societies, animals and the environment; the social, political and economic pressures that shape texts and their reception.

Levels 2 and 3: The Advanced Level modules are designed both to ensure that you gain knowledge of central issues in Critical Theory and to enable you to choose a set of modules that reflects your interests. All students take Media and Cultural Theory and Theories of the Subject, and choose from a wide range of modules including Popular Culture; Psychoanalysis; Postmodernism and Poststructuralism, Constructions of Masculinity, Marxism and Cultural Materialism and Cyborg Theory and Posthumanism. Joint students have the opportunity of taking a project in Critical Theory — a piece of work that will reflect progress in an area of personal choice.
