This unit introduces students to competing and complementary theories of Visual Culture and Text: these are studied in the context of a $�longer view&� of the modern tradition of literary criticism and art history, and word/image studies. Students will explore the encounter between visual/textual culture and modern theories of visuality informed by gender studies, postcolonial thought, film studies, performance studies, new historicism, poststructuralism, reception theory and psychoanalysis. This unit is a core unit for students following the Visual Cultures: Text and Image pathway of the MA Modern Languages, and is available as an option to other students on this and other MAs in the School of Modern Languages and Faculty of Arts.
