The minor in philosophy and literature introduces students to important ways in which 20th-century textual studies (i.e., literary, philosophical, popular media, etc.), have been and continue to be influenced by modes of thought developed in continental philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, feminism, and political theory. The courses in the minor focus on questions raised in the texts and theoretical works, including the status of language, subjectivity, history, narrative, and gender, as well as the concept of difference and identity. This track is an ongoing dialogue on interpretation using contemporary theories and methodologies. The core courses instruct students in a variety of critical methodologies.

Students must choose three courses drawn from core courses not taken to satisfy the core requirement or the following:


The intermediate electives both continue to add methodologies to the students’ repertoire of critical tools and help them to relate these theories directly to the kind of text they are interested in evaluating.

Note:


Courses taken at the 200 level may not be repeated.
