This programme examines a range of literary and theoretical contexts, introducing ways that writing and imagination shape and share in cultural and political processes. It examines the role of literature in the formation of political and cultural systems under the conditions of 'modernity', and explores recent and contemporary redefinitions of literature, textuality and interpretation. A particular focus is on the relationship of literature and criticism to problems of cultural politics.
Students who successfully complete this programme will gain:
* practical knowledge of the range of theoretical and philosophical ideas informing modern and postmodern literary criticism;
* knowledge and understanding of the role of literary writing in the formation of contemporary culture;
* a grounding in the research methods of literary studies.
