10Paper VIII – Literary Theory 1[6 hours/week]Course description - Topics to be coveredThis course will enable the students to understand that:1. Language is a system of signs.2. There are certain fundamental structures underlying all human behaviour and production.3. Meaning is not fixed; rather it is a fluid, ambiguous domain of human experience.4. Human beings are motivated by desires, fears, conflicts and needs of which they are unaware.5. Unconscious is the storehouse of painful and repressed emotions.6. Unconscious is structured like language.7. Cultural productions reinforce the economic, political, social and psychological oppression.8. Reader’s response is pivotal in the analysis of literary texts.9. Reader actively participates in creating the meaning of the text.Module I: Theories of StructuralismThe basic principle of Structuralism is that language structures our perception of the world around us.Literature and other cultural representations are manifestations of systems of signs that can be studiedboth synchronically and diachronically. Ferdinand de Saussure. Sections from Course in General Linguistics. Literary Theory: AnAnthology. Ed. Julie Rivkin and Michael Ryan. USA: Blackwell, 1998. Pp. 76-90.Module II: Theories of DeconstructionTheories of Deconstruction rest on the belief that there is no transcendental signified and that there isnothing outside of the text. However, texts betray traces of their own instability, making the possibilityof determinate meaning suspect. Jacques Derrida. “Structure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of Human Sciences.”ModernCriticism and Theory: A Reader. Ed. David Lodge. UK: Longman, 2000. Pp. 89-103.Module III: Psychoanalytic TheoriesThe existence of the unconscious is central to all psychoanalytic theories. Individuals move throughdevelopmental stages early in life, and traumas or experiences during that process may have a lastingeffect on personality. Literary and other cultural texts may have a psychological impact on readers ormeet a psychological need in them. Jacques Lacan. “The Mirror Stage as Formative of the Foundation of I as Revealed inPsychoanalysis Experience.” Literary Theory: An Anthology. Ed. Julie Rivkin and MichaelRyan. USA: Blackwell, 1998. Pp. 178-183.Module IV: Feminist TheoriesLanguage, institutions, and social power structures have reflected patriarchal interests throughouthistory; and this has had a profound impact on women’s ability to express themselves and the quality oftheir daily lives. This combination of patriarchal oppression and women’s resistance to it is apparent inmany literary and other cultural texts.
