Current work in the humanities pay a great deal of attention to what it calls "French Theory", and students perceive a need to be knowledgeable about these matters. Rather than merely provide an overview of the key concepts of the thinkers to be covered, however, this course stresses the need for close readings of the texts under consideration themselves and a subsequent application of the concepts discussed in the texts to other texts and objects. -- Course Website
