|
 Reader Response Lecture Part 1 |
15 Minute start on "What is Reader Response Criticism" (pp. 337-52) |
|
Reader Response Lecture Part 2 |
Second 14-minute video finishing up "What Is Reader Response Criticism." The last few minutes of this talks about the sorts of sources you will use in your own semester-ending research paper. Very Important! |
|
Reader Response Lecture Part 3 (Treichler Part 1) |
21 minutes, walking through the Paula Treichler essay on pages 352-73. |
|
Reader Response Lecture Part 4 (Treichler Part 2) |
20 minutes: I walk us through the back half of the Treichler essay, pages 360-72. |
|
Feminism Lecture Part I |
This covers the "What Is Feminism?" essay, and I actually got the whole lecture into one 20-minute segment! Huzzah! |
|
Feminism Lecture Part 2 (Part 1 of Showalter Lecture) |
I am breaking my lecture on Showalter's essay up into two parts. This first part gets us up to page 214. |
|
Feminism Lecture Part 3 (2nd Part of 2-Part Showalter Lecture) |
I finish up the Showalter article in 12-13 minutes, so I've worked this one down to just over 30 minutes total. My ambition is to do the other two essays (LeBlanc on Gender and Stange on New Historicism) in that much time or less. Stay tuned. |
|
Gender Crit Lecture Part 1 ("What Is Gender Criticism?") |
18 minute walk-through of the "What Is Gender Criticism?" Essay from pages 223-33. |
|
Gender Crit Lecture Part 2 (Leblanc Article on "Metaphorical Lesbian") |
45 minutes breaking down the Leblanc article, which is the best model for the sort of paper you will write next month. |
|
New Historicism Lecture Part I: "What Is New Historicism?" (and part of my "Last Lecture") |
Sorry Gang, this one runs way too long (40+ mins) and isn't even quite finished. I find the concepts here to underlie all other forms of post-formalist (that is, after New Criticism) theory. I hope to make the last lecture on Margit Stange much shorter. |
|
New Historicism Lecture Part Deux: Margit Stange |
We. Are. Done. With these lectures. This one includes 10 minutes on the first four pages of "What Is Deconstruction?" letting you know what from there will be on the exam. Then I blow through Stange in about 20 minutes (so 32 minutes total). Party on. PS: I just realized that the family video I planted midway through this essay like a hidden Easter Egg showed without sound. I tell you what was said, but still it loses some of its excitement. Dangit! |
