The unit aims to establish the theoretical and methodological foundations for the analysis of literary and cultural texts. These will be examined from a range of contemporary theoretical perspectives. Approaches may include some of the following: postcolonial, eco-critical, new materialist, gender theory, semiotic, aesthetic, new media and post-structural. Each of these approaches will be examined for their respective accounts of literary and cultural theory and method. Students will be asked to consider the possible relevance of these approaches to their proposed research. -- Course Website
