While the course will be largely focused on theoretical approaches to literary texts, we will also be considering the place of theory with regards to wider cultural issues and day-to-day life. The primary object of this course, therefore, is to attempt to understand why and how theory matters, and what connection it bears to our studies and to our lives. 1
2 The course is divided into subsections ( Language, Interpretation and Meaning, Subjectivity, Materialisms and Ideologies, Gender and Sexuality, Nation, Race and the Postcolonial ). Each subsection will be structured around a set of introductory readings, a selection of primary theoretical texts, and a workshopped application of the theoretical approach to a specific text. Throughout the course, Mary Shelley s Frankenstein will serve as a key text for discussing examples of the theoretical approaches under discussion (other texts will be used for the purposes of workshops and assessment). Our inquiries in this course will be focused on a number of central questions: What is the place of literature or art in society? How is theory important to the study of literature? What does literature have to do with politics and/or social justice? What shapes our interpretative practices? Course Objectives and/or Learner Outcomes Students who have attended all classes, done all the readings, and completed all the assessments for this course should be able to: read texts of all kinds critically, and assess their rhetorical, ideological and aesthetic strategies. analyse specific literary devices and explain how those devices contribute to the meaning of a literary text. explain the role of literature in articulating and creating categories of identity. explain how a text is produced by, and produces, its historical and cultural context. use library resources to research a topic and use what they discover to illuminate a text. write grammatically correct, clear, and effective prose about literature, literary theory, and criticism, and communicate ideas effectively and coherently in both the persuasive essay and variety of other forms.

Faxed and ed papers are not acceptable. No late work will be accepted. Extensions will only be granted for extenuating medical circumstances. Students who are unable to attend tests or exams through no fault of their own documentation will be required may schedule rewrites with the instructor (tests) or the department (exams). All assignments are individual assignments and cannot be completed collaboratively. All assignments must be in MLA format, double spaced, with 1 margins, and in 12 point font. Details of Assignments Participation will be graded on careful preparation for and involvement in class discussion and workshops. Read carefully, make notes, and conduct yourself in a way that enables other students to learn. Attendance will be recorded and some in-class writing may be collected. For each class, you should prepare a question that would invite the class to reflect critically on the reading material for that day (i.e. it should be a question that prompts discussion, not a one-word answer). I may call on you to offer these questions during class. 3
4 I will take in these questions at random dates throughout the year and they will be used to assess your participation in the course. ** A Critical Response is a 2-3 page evaluation of an assigned theoretical reading. I will provide questions for the first few to help get you started. Critical responses are designed to aid you in clarifying issues, formulating questions, articulating your opinion and identifying areas of difficulty. Write them in a way that will help you to do these things. I recommend the following structure: (1) identify the essay s main thesis or theses; (2) if the structure of the essay seems important to the thesis being explored, briefly discuss the significance of the essay s structure; (3) analyze what you deem to be the two or three key passages of the essay are these passages convincing? what stylistic and rhetorical features are at work in the text (e.g. figurative language, manipulation of perspective, abrupt transitions between argumentative points, etc.)? (4) conclude with some of the following: questions that you feel have been left unanswered by the essay; reservations that you have about the essay s theses; reflections on the difficulties posed by the essay; thoughts about how the essay s ideas could be useful for literary criticism. Students should pay attention to feedback on their marked critical responses, and identify areas such as grammar, organization, and style that they need to work on. Exceptions to these policies are allowed only with a doctor s note or other appropriate documentation. Course Schedule (subject to change) FALL INTRODUCTION TO LITERARY THEORY Sept. 9.

Collaboration/Plagiarism Rules Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of someone else's words and/or ideas. Not acknowledging your debt to the ideas of a secondary source, failing to use quotation marks when you are quoting directly, buying essays from essay banks, copying another student's work, or working together on an individual assignment, all constitute plagiarism. Resubmitting material you've submitted to another course is also academic dishonesty. All plagiarized work (in whole or in part) and other forms of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean, who is responsible for judging academic misconduct and imposing penalties. The minimum penalty for academic misconduct is a 0 on the assignment in question. It might also be subject to more severe academic penalties. See the Code of Student Behaviour. Course Policies Behavioral standards, attendance, group work/collaboration, etc. Unless such policies are spelled out on the syllabus, they are difficult to enforce. University Policies Students in this course are expected to conform to the Code of Student Behaviour: Lakehead University provides academic accommodations for students with disabilities in accordance with the terms of the Ontario Human Rights Code. This occurs through a collaborative process that acknowledges a collective obligation to develop an accessible learning environment that both meets the needs of students and preserves the essential academic requirements of the course. This course outline is available online through the English Department homepage and the Desire2Learn site for the course. 9
