General description and relevant information | This course will be based on a study of post-structuralist identity theories of the self and theories on how to read and interpret texts and films. Self and text are both involved in a dialectical relationship, where identities and meanings are constructed not only psychically, socially but also sexually. Both have stories to tell, both embody space, colonise it, and are colonised by it. They both engage in a process of constructing and deconstructing each other. This course looks at the theories which discuss this process. | |||||||||||||||||
