specificity of the poetic form: Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Dylan. Selection of Argentine poets
Girondo Storni, Pizarnik, Thnon Ortiz.
B. Foundations Program
Propose a course to literary studies focused on two centers: on the one hand, the discourse of
criticism, and on the other, the correlative production of "readings" (on texts, institutional frames,
literary movements, various genres, etc. .) involving specific actions and operations. As some have
noted (Derrida, Foucault), the discourse of criticism, but mostly produced under institutions, also
permeates other fields often these readings are indistinguishable: literary and theoretical texts
with which it has close relations. It will try to show students that the three discourses involved in
our practice (literary discourse, critical and theoretical), keep each other relationships that
become evident when they are studied historically. The proximity or remoteness from the
literature and hegemony to which they have aspired speeches "seconds" (criticism, literary theory)
are present with large variability that must distinguish each of the topics of the program.
If the relationships these three speeches together form the field of literary studies, and produces a
relatively specific knowledge, are no less important for constitution established connections with
other disciplines, speeches and knowledge. With different nuances in different contexts,
philosophy, linguistics and sociology seem to have contributed the most influential exchanges, not
always harmoniously and peacefully. Promote the ability to read in the problems studied these
"internal" relations and "external" to our discipline, it is one of the purposes of this course.
While the "readings" (in the terminology used today) refer to transactions primarily by the critics,
and that would constitute something like its rationale, the other speeches also "would read"
literature with ranges and effects that try to show students.
The number and extent of these issues require a task of concentration and selection of problems
to be studied:
a) an essential aspect of what constitutes literary criticism, from its origins, the value judgment. It
is important that students learn to recognize and address as objectively as possible this dimension
of literary criticism and its related speeches. It is a fundamental dimension in the Marxist critique
(eg Voloshinov), and also in the semiotic and sociological perspective Jan Mukaovsk to develop
(in addition to adding fundamental to the notion of "reading" used in this course elements);
b) one of the persistent debates, both in criticism and literary theory, is maintained around the
concept "author" whose construction we naturalized will have to criticize and put into perspective:
this time we have chosen to work both in practice text commentary, as the theoretical acquisition,
the work of Franz Kafka (and also correlate with it, that of Jorge Luis Borges) that serve to
discriminate relevant aspects of criticism and theory during the twentieth and twenty-first century
productively they occupied for their works;
c) other contested concept that can be traced back to romanticism and Russian formalism is
autonomy, which we also relativize and noted their role in the various streams addressed.
We hope that this tour of critical discourse and the various problems selected around its historic
deployment, serve as an effective introduction to literary studies.
E. Planned activities
The activities to be developed during the course to fulfill the objectives are:
1) Discussion groups assumptions contained in the theoretical texts and analysis of argumentation
schemes, implicit theoretical propositions, etc. It is expected that students acquire the necessary
skills to disassemble the different theories studied.
2) Analysis of texts with special detention in the constitutional procedures of each genre and
theoretical paradigms that guide the readings.
3) Reading and analysis of critical articles. Students must infer the theoretical framework in each
case determines the argument, the paradigms on which the arguments are based, etc.
4) Writing exercises that prepare students for solving different instances of assessment raised. It is
intended that can handle various schemes and patterns argumentative writing.
5) Exhibitions oral by students from the issues discussed in class.
WARNING: The following bibliography is not mandatory consultation. Required texts are marked
up and shall be corroborated or modified in the relevant guidelines for each topic, both in lectures,
practical classes and workshops theoretical reading.
