6 Credits | Dr. Leiya LEE
This course primarily examines Western critical concepts and theories that have informed the study of narrative, or narratology. We will look at some of the ways in which critics and theorists understand the structural, philosophical, and ideological dimensions of narrative. From the early works of Plato and Aristotle to contemporary structuralist methods of narrative analysis, and ultimately to post-structuralist and postmodern perspectives, this course will equip students with critical thinking skills to engage with — or even to see past — narratives, which are everywhere around us.
