General description and relevant information | This course will be based on a study of post-structuralist identity theories of the self and theories on how to read and interpret texts and films. Self and text are both involved in a dialectical relationship, where identities and meanings are constructed not only psychically, socially but also sexually. Both have stories to tell, both embody space, colonise it, and are colonised by it. They both engage in a process of constructing and deconstructing each other. This course looks at the theories which discuss this process.In this subject you only have the right to make the exam, because the degree you are studying is going to be extinguished. You have to take a look the timetable of the subject to know the exam's date. If you need an extraordinary exam session, you have to enrol for this, presenting an application to the secretariat of your campus or faculty. | ||||||||||||||
