MODERN CRITICAL THEORY (PL3079)

Modern Critical Theory examines the notions of experience, representation and value from a plurality of standpoints: linguistic, semiotic, anthropological, psychoanalytic, literary, philosophical, aesthetic. This course studies the main schools and authors of this tradition and focuses on the notion of cultural meaning in the works of key theorists (from Levi-Strauss to Said, from Adorno to Butler).
