ENG 201 (Fall 2014): Lecture 3.3—Modeling Deconstruction and New Historicism
In this video, I wrap up this lecture series by modeling an "ideal" deconstructive reading of Mary Robinson's "A London Summer Morning" and by anticipating a new historicist account of the poem. I end the video by summarizing the different accounts that each mode of criticism made possible.
In this video, I allude to a lecture I posted last year on the "Tendencies of Deconstructive Criticism." Here's a link to that video: http://youtu.be/9GZ2ZNnm2DU?list=PLFl....
I also mention several histories at the end of this video. Here are links to those books:

ENG 378 (Fall 2013): Aspects of Postmodernism
01/07/2014: These video lectures supplemented my Fall 2013 course at the University of Rhode Island, ENG 378: Aspects of Postmodernism. During the semester we read six "postmodern" novels as well as chapters from Jacques Derrida's /Of Grammatology/. Because Derrida's work was a more daunting reading task than our novels, I decided to supplement our readings and discussions with these lectures in order to give students (especially those unfamiliar with continental philosophy or literary theory) a few in-roads to an otherwise overwhelming book.

The six novels we also studied were:
1). B.S. Johnson's /Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry/
2). Paula Fox's /Desperate Characters/
3). Carole Maso's /The Art Lover/
4). David Mitchell's /Cloud Atlas/
5). China Miéville's /The City & The City/
6). Sheila Heti's /How Should a Person Be?/

Structuralism, Saussurian Linguistics and Literary Study by Benjamin Hagen

source: Benjamin Hagen     2014年2月17日
This set of video lectures supplements my Spring 2014 section of ENG 201: Principles of Literary Study. This third set of lectures covers "Structuralism" and the relation between Saussurian linguistics (the foundation of structuralism as an intellectual movement) and the study of literature.

1. Structuralism and Saussure--This specific installment covers Saussure's basic concepts and insights into the study of language. I cover his distinctions between "langue" and "parole," "synchronic" and "diachronic" investigation, as well as his influential anatomy of "the sign."

2. Structuralist Criticism and Poetics--This specific installment covers Jonathan Culler's and Robert Dale Parker's accounts of the implications and consequences of structural linguistics for literary study.

3. Formalism, Structuralism, and 3 Articles on Mrs. Dalloway--This last installment covers the three articles we read on Virginia Woolf's /Mrs. Dalloway/, using the competing positions of an ideal New Critic and an ideal Structuralist as a context for evaluating how the scholars go about approaching the novel.
