課程概述

本課程將以結構主義以降的文學理論為出發，帶領學生深入認識文學理論的基礎概念和背後所處的時代脈絡。由於台灣文學界對於理論的認識和使用往往處於某種過度擁抱與戒慎恐懼的泥淖，本課程將以如何將文學理論脈絡化成為分析台灣文學/文本方法論為主要的探討核心，並提供學生面對文學理論應有的正確態度。課程設計部分將包含結構語言學、解構主義、性別研究、後現代主義、精神分析、後殖民主義、後人類研究、新馬克斯主義等等領域，期待能提供學生理論綜觀與橫向連結，並進一步思考文學理論與台灣文學/本彼此間非競合的微觀層次共生可能。 

課程目標
 1.能讀解西方文學理論文本
2.能掌握文學研究的方法論
3.能應用於研究台灣文學現象
