ENG 220 - Reading Like a Pro: Theory and Interpretation
Corequisite: WTNG 102
Requirement Fulfillment: Major, Minor
Delivery: Lecture
This course introduces students to the most important critical and theoretical methods of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and gives students a chance to practice interpreting works of culture (mainly literature, but also film and other forms of popular culture) using different critical approaches. Critical movements featured include New Criticism, Structuralism, Marxist Criticism, Feminist Criticism, LGBT Studies and Queer Theory, Race-conscious criticism (especially the African American critical tradition), and Postcolonial Studies; but students will gain an overall understanding of how any critical/theoretical movement develops its own terms and methods and how different terms and methods can be put to work to produce new ways of understanding culture.
