Critical Theory Today: A User-Friendly Guide by Lois Tyson, X

Critical Theory Today: A User-Friendly Guide by Lois Tyson, X
This accessible guide offers a thorough introduction to contemporary critical theory. It provides in-depth coverage of the most common approaches to literary analysis today: feminism, psychoanalysis, Marxism, reader-response theory, new criticism, structuralism and semiotics, deconstruction, new historicism, cultural criticism, lesbian/gay/queer theory, African-American criticism, and postcolonial criticism. The chapters provide an extended explanation of each theory, using examples from everyday life, popular culture, and literary texts; a list of specific questions critics who use that theory ask about literary texts; an interpretation of E Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby through the lens of each theory; a list of questions for further practice to guide readers in applying each theory to different literary works; and a bibliography of primary and secondary works for further reading. This book can be used as the only text in a course or as a precursor to the study of primary theoretical works. It motivates readers by showing them what critical theory can offer in terms of their practical understanding of literary texts and in terms of their personal understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. Both engaging and rigorous, it is a "how-to" book for undergraduate and graduate students new to critical theory and for college professors who want to broaden their repertoire of critical approaches to literature.

Critical Confrontations: Literary Theories in Dialogue by Meili Steele,
Critical Confrontations: Literary Theories in Dialogue by Meili Steele,
Joins heretofore separate realms to provide a new, more cohesive story of critical theory "An illuminating and cogent re-thinking of critical theory.... By an elegant and inclusive logic, (Steele) recasts tradition, the villain in many contemporary cultural scenarios, as the heroic defender and restorer of democratic ideals". -- Carol L. Bernstein, Bryn Mawr College Critical Confrontations extends beyond the encyclopedia-like treatment found in most introductory volumes to broaden the interpretive landscape of critical theory and increase its usefulness. Contending that the dominant paradigms of contemporary critical theory eclipse rather than enable the analysis of gender, race, and difference that lies at the heart of today's cultural reflection, Meili Steele marshals the resources needed to draw tradition-based views of language and anti-humanistic theories from their abstract frameworks into the more tangible field of cultural studies. Beginning with the debate between New Criticism and historical intentionalism, Steele charts a course through hermeneutics, dialogue, explanation, interpretation, poststructuralism, feminism, democracy, and the antinomies of exile and rootedness. He pairs comparable theorists and reviews the interpretive lenses they employ, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each theorist and text. Weaving a progressive narrative in which each chapter builds upon the preceding, Steele enables the reader to work through a developing dialogue rather than a list of theories. He also illumines the ways in which seemingly disparate theories can interact to address the questions that face teachers and students of literature, cultural studies, andphilosophy.

Cultural studies - Cultural studies combines sociology, social theory, literary theory, film/video studies, cultural anthropology and art history/criticism to study cultural phenomena in industrial societies. Cultural studies researchers often concentrate on how a particular phenomenon relates to matters of ideology, race, social class, and/or gender.

Semiotic literary criticism - Semiotic literary criticism, also called literary semiotics, is the approach to literary criticism informed by the theory of signs or semiotics. Semiotics, tied closely to the structuralism pioneered by Ferdinand de Saussure, was extremely influential in the development of literary theory out of the formalist approaches of the early twentieth century.

Literary criticism - Literary criticism is the study, discussion, evaluation, and interpretation of literature. Modern literary criticism is often informed by literary theory, which is the philosophical discussion of its methods and goals.

Psychoanalytic literary criticism - Psychoanalytic literary criticism is literary criticism which, in method, concept, theory or form, is influenced by the tradition of psychoanalysis begun by Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalytic reading has been practiced since the early development of psychoanalysis itself, and has developed into a rich and heterogeneous interpretive tradition.
