- Class Notes:
- This multidisciplinary course introduces conceptual tools for specifying the nature and value of literary critical expertise. A primary goal will be to demystify the disciplinary norms and procedures involved in the practice of close reading. Members of the course will break down exemplary instances of close reading and practice performing it themselves. They will unpack the tacit forms of knowledge and abilities that critics draw upon to produce literary scholarship and explore how such knowledge is acquired and transmitted inside and outside the literature classroom. In addition to gaining experience with dominant approaches to literary criticism, members of this course will also consider forms of knowledge and experience that disciplinary and institutional norms systematically occlude, exclude, or discount. Readings will include literary theory and criticism, the history and sociology of higher education, research on pedagogy and learning, and the feminist philosophy of epistemic injustice.
