This course introduces you to some of the central texts and concepts in the key intellectual movements and theories from the early twentieth century to the present as these bear on literary analysis. You will examine a range of related issues including:

- the re-conception of identity and its impact on literary construction;
- the ways political structures construct the relationship between human subjects and objects such as commodities.
