ENG 2250 - Critical Approaches


Credit(s): 3

[LGWL2] This course provides an introduction to methods of critical analysis of textual and visual forms of storytelling. Beginning with an exploration of the essential categories and vocabulary of critical analysis, this course briefly surveys classical theories, such as those of Aristotle and Plato, and focuses on recent theoretical approaches such as reader-response theory, semiotics, deconstruction, feminism and gender theory, critical race theory, new historicism, psychoanalytic approaches, Marxist theory, eco-criticism, and film theory. Students will learn how these theories can be applied to specific genres, texts, and media.

Prerequisites: The prerequisite is ENG 1082. This course is offered every fall.
