The following notes reflect topics, texts, and key terms discussed in a graduate introduction to contemporary critical theory. As with any notes, I caution readers that the material is incomplete without the surrounding class discussions to provide context and critique. Further, any definitions are always conditional and limited, so please read these notes with a critical eye.
| 383 Introductory Overview | New Historicism |
| Marxist Critique | Derrida |
| Lacan | Butler & Grosz |
| Autobiography & Gender | |
