Descripció |
| Activitats Introductòries |
The introductory sessions will focus on a brief history of identity theories from the period of the Enlightenment to Freud. This will be followed by discussions on the ways in which texts could be read up to Freud. Most of the content of these introductory sessions is revision work of the second year subject on Literary Theory taught by the Department of Catalan. |
| Sessió Magistral |
Many of the lecture-based classes will be a summary/description/commentary of diverse critical theories. |
| Seminaris |
The seminar-based sessions are perhaps the most important part of this course. We shall read/discuss/compare the critical theories by studying a selection of texts. It is absolutely essential that you come to class regularly and that you participate actively in the discussions. The texts we shall be studying are rather dense and difficult to understand. The more doubts you raise and the more actively you engage in discussions, the more we shall all learn. You will be given the reading texts well in advance of the class. |
| Presentacions / exposicions |
Each student will be asked to give a class presentation. You will work in groups of three. Group members will choose a subject (for example, "chaotic cities") and after previous consultation with me, you will present your subject in class. You might discuss a scene from a film or do a critical analysis of a painting or written text. This is the moment in which you put into practice what you have learned both inside and outside the classroom. You are encouraged to come to my office and consult with me via e-mail or telephone to discuss your presentation. |
| Treballs |
There will be a final written assignment at the end of the course. Again, this will be on a subject of your choice but you should specifically focus on using the theoretical approaches discussed during the course. You are also encouraged to use other theoretical texts in addition to the ones studies during the semester. The more independent work you do for this assignment, the better. Please do not plagiarise. Any plagiarising will render the assignment invalid. |

| Activitats Introductòries |
After the first few classes of the course you will be asked to do a short feedback test. |
10 |
| Sessió Magistral |
The lectures will introduce you to new theories. It is essential that you attend classes on a regular basis. There will be a feedback test based on the lectures. The date of the test will be decided upon in class. |
10 |
| Seminaris |
The seminars will be the most important "learning" part of the course. A selection of texts will be analysed and discussed. The seminar should be a space of debating, raising questions, challenging ideas, comparing and applying theories.
During the course you will be asked for written feedback which will be evaluated. |
10 |
| Presentacions / exposicions |
Each group will present their research work before their classmates. The subject they choose must be relevant to the course content. The following points will be evaluated: the ability to present ideas clearly and in an interesting manner, the theoretical and scholarly content of their work and the coherence of each member's presentation. |
30 |
| Treballs |
Towards the end of the course, when you have acquired the skills of theoretical analysis, you will be have the opportunity to put your knowledge into practice! When you decide on a subject you should consult with me and I shall try and help you structure your written assignment. Special attention will be given to form and academic content. |

There will be a dossier of photocopied texts available in the photocopying room at the beginning of the semester. The dossier will contain some poetry, theoretical texts and bibliography. In addition, I shall be sending you relevant articles and websites by e-mail and showing you illustrations and paintings on power-point. It is essential that you give me your e-mail address at the beginning of the course, and notify me if there is any change of address. The Library stocks a wide variety of books on critical theory. Many of the books are available in the sections on Feminism, Anthropology, Politics and English. |

You should not find it difficult to follow this course if you have already done an introductory course on literary theory. We shall mainly be looking at post-structuralist theories and applying them to texts and films. Hopefully you will find this course will help you to be critically conscious and aware. |
