課程概述

西方當代人文思潮主要由後結構主義(poststructuralism)開始,其影響涵蓋人文及社會學科,而在文學領域內,其歷程與內容大致反映在文學(與文化)理論上。本課程分為一、二(學生可只選修任一者);課程透過完整概述以及代表性理論家選讀的方式,一方面勾勒文學理論的發展系譜,另一方面探討後結構主義以降的一些重要理論概念及其與當代情境的關連。課程內容除後結構主義之外,尚儘量包括與以下領域或主題相關之理論:精神分析(psychoanalysis)、後殖民主義(postcolonialism)、女性主義與性別研究(feminism and gender studies)、後現代主義(postmodernism)、生命政治與全球化(biopolitics and globalization)、美學理論(aesthetic theories)、科學、科技與後人類研究(science, technology and posthuman studies)、失能研究(disability studies)、物導向理論(object-oriented theories)、新物質主義(new materialism)、生態理論(ecological theories)、動物研究(animal studies)等。本課程希望透過對文學理論的探討,為修習的同學連接上人文思潮的整體脈動,並為後續深入研究奠下基礎。 

課程目標
1. 引介當代西方文學與文化理論,
2. 介紹當代西方思潮的遞變,
3. 培養學生批判思考與閱讀理論論述的能力,
4. 奠下學生後續研究的基礎。
