Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
English Studies has drawn on a variety of approaches, theories, concepts, and topics which have been developed within the domains of, for example, anthropology, psychoanalysis, sociology, and philosophy. Especially philosophy offers distinctive models of explanation as it deals with problems concerning the constitution of identity, questions of aesthetics and those associated with language, meaning, textuality, representation, power and agency. Contesting positions have developed out of these discussions: Structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, hermeneutics, New Historicism, feminist criticism, post-colonial theory, etc. In this introductory course we will look at these philosophical positions and concepts primarily as tools for English Studies. We will base our literary and cultural explorations on one core-text, Joseph Conrad's HEART OF DARKNESS.
