This MA seminar deals with a rich facet of literary theories that find their sophisticated application in today's Humanities. The aim of the seminar is to provide students with access to central theoretical approaches to the interpretation, analysis and contextualization of literary texts. Furthermore, it aims to provide students with a better understanding of the theory-practice connection. The textbook Critical Theory Today by Lois Toyson serves as the theoretical basis and the novel The Great Gatsby by the U.S. American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald as the main literary text. Other shorter literary texts to illustrate the application of theory to analysis will be used in the seminar sessions themselves. Theoretical approaches that the seminar will cover include psychoanalytic, marxist, feminist, new historicist and deconstructionist approaches among others.
