| Description
| In this course we will survey the variety of critical schools and approaches that have appeared beginning at around the mid-twentieth century. Literary, philosophical, political, feminist, and other discourses have been significantly altered as a result of the new critical tools and vocabularies developed in recent years. The schools and approaches include: Modernism and Postmodernism, Humanism and Posthumanism, Structuralism and Poststructualism, Psychoanalysis, Deconstruction, Genealogical and Archeological History, and the Philosophies of Difference. Major thinkers include: Bloom, Jameson, Deleuze, Lyotard, Foucault, Derrida, Blanchot, Irigary, Cixous, Heidegger, Badiou, Levinas, and Agamben.
