About this ebook

2002 erschien die Einführung des amerikanischen Literaturwissenschaftlers Jonathan Culler in erster Auflage. Seither hat sie sich an den Universitäten etabliert. Anhand einfacher Fragen gibt sie Einblick in die wichtigsten Aspekte der Literaturtheorie: Was ist und will Theorie? Was ist ein Text? Was ist ein Autor? Was unterscheidet Lyrik von Prosa? Auch die verschiedenen Theorie-Strömungen werden vorgestellt: Von der Hermeneutik über Dekonstruktion und Gender-Studies bis zur postkolonialen Literaturbetrachtung. Jetzt erscheint der Band in zweiter Auflage: vollständig überarbeitet und auf den neuesten Stand der Forschung gebracht und um ein neues Kapitel "Ethik und Ästhetik" ergänzt.

E-Book mit Seitenzählung der gedruckten Ausgabe: Buch und E-Book können parallel benutzt werden.

    Capsule review: Difficult. Some interesting ideas, but I don't feel like I got a good, general understanding of the subject. Additionally, the language seems not to be aimed at the beginner.

    Very useful idea for a reference book, great choice of subject matter, nice compact size. Horrible writing style. There were sentences so convoluted in here I reread them thrice over just to make sure I wasn't imagining things or going blind.

    well, after reading this I am not really any wiser what literary theory is... the answer the book gives is "it depends"

    Not short enough. So dense as to make the reader wonder why she should bother with literary theory at all. Not finished.

    I loved that Culler organized the work thematically rather than by critical schools. Given that many of the best theorists overlap in many fields--is Judith Butler a psychoanalyst or feminist? is Althusser a structuralist or Marxist? and what is Foucault?--I think Culler's approach best represents how theory actually works. After all, poststructuralism, Marxism, and psychoanalysis tend to do much the same thing in a theoretical context: they all call 'the natural' (of language, of the state and economics, of the personality) into question and thereby transform the self into subject. That denaturalization is the key difference from what came before, not the differences between, say, a politically informed and a merely linguistic poststructuralism.

    Moreover, even though it originally appeared about 10 years ago, its refusal to split theory into various schools preserved it from obsolescence. The pure Lacanian died out in 1999 or so, and now the best critics draw on everything.

    Highly recommended. This is probably the one I'll assign.

    A novel approach to literary theory as the book begins by focusing on the kinds of interpretive 'moves' that happen in literary theory. Chapters cover what liverature is and why it matters; literature and cultural studies; language, meaning and interpretation; rhetorics, poetics and poetry; narrative; performative language; identity, indetification and subject. A final appendix covers theoretical schools and movements.

    Really nice to have in your pocket when writing a critical paper. Easy to read and follow, has major schools of thought covered.

    5/5
    One of the clearest and most concise summaries of theory I've encountered. It's also remarkably broad and in-depth for its length (although of course it cannot be fully comprehensive at a mere 130 pages).

    Some interesting ideas, but either too long or too short.
