Literary Theories: A Sampling of Literary Lenses This is merely an introduction to theory so I am just going to provide you with a few of the more common schools of criticism. Remember most of these theories are quite detailed so this is just a very brief overview of their main ideas and some theories have been combined to keep things simple.

High-profile science champions such as Stephen Hawking, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye The Science Guy have all gone on record to have a pop at philosophy as past its sell-by date, now that we have SCIENCE to tell us the truth about the world – even going as far as to proclaim the centuries-old discipline, like jazz or guitar rock*, is dead. Doctor of philosophy James Wakefield and ex-philosophy teacher Thomas Morton have found themselves on the wrong end of this frustrating pub conversation and, frankly, take umbrage at what seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the difference in what science and philosophy respectively do. In this talk they intend to gather up their "beefs" and air them – in the process outlining a personal take on what philosophy is all about, while making a case for why it is not going away and is worth paying attention to. Even for scientists. (*perhaps tellingly at least one of the speakers listens to both)

Chapter 1 What is theory? In literary and cultural studies these days there is a lot of talk about theory – not theory of literature, mind you; just plain ‘theory’. To anyone outside the field, this usage must seem very odd. ‘Theory of what?’ you want to ask. It’s surprisingly hard to say. It is not the theory of anything in particular, nor a comprehensive theory of things in general. Sometimes theory seems less an account of anything than an activity – something you do or don’t do. You can be involved with theory; you can teach or study theory; you can hate theory or be afraid of it. None of this, though, helps much to understand what theory is. ‘Theory’, we are told, has radically changed the nature of literary studies, but people who say this do not mean literary theory, the systematic account of the nature of literature and of the methods for analysing it. When people complain that there is too much theory in literary studies these days, they don’t mean too much systematic reflection on the nature of literature or debate about the distinctive qualities of literary language, for example. Far from it. They have something else in view. What they have in mind may be precisely that there is too much discussion of non-literary matters, too much debate about general questions whose relation to literature is scarcely evident, too much reading of difficult psychoanalytical, political, and philosophical texts. 1 Theory is a bunch of (mostly foreign) names; it means Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Luce Irigaray, Jacques Lacan, Judith Butler, Louis Althusser, Gayatri Spivak, for instance. The term theory So what is theory? Part of the problem lies in the term theory itself, which gestures in two directions. On the one hand, we speak of ‘the theory of relativity’, for example, an established set of propositions. On the other hand, there is the most ordinary use of the word theory. ‘Why did Laura and Michael split up?’ ‘Well, my theory is that . . .’ What does theory mean here? First, theory signals ‘speculation’. But a theory is not the same as a guess. ‘My guess is that . . .’ would suggest that there is a right answer, which I don’t happen to know: ‘My guess is that Laura just got tired of Michael’s carping, but we’ll find out for sure when their friend Mary gets here.’ A theory, by contrast, is speculation that might not be affected by what Mary says, an explanation whose truth or falsity might be hard to demonstrate. ‘My theory is that . . .’ also claims to offer an explanation that is not obvious. We don’t expect the speaker to continue, ‘My theory is that it’s because Michael was having an affair with Samantha.’ That wouldn’t count as a theory. It hardly requires theoretical acumen to conclude that if Michael and Samantha were having an affair, that might have had some bearing on Laura’s attitude toward Michael. Interestingly, if the speaker were to say, ‘My theory is that Michael was having an a.

2. Old and New Identities, Old and New Ethnicities STUART HALL IN MY PREVIOUS TALK, I TRIED TO OPEN OUT THE QUESTIONS about the local and the global from their somewhat closed, somewhat over-integrated, and somewhat over-systematized formulations. My argument was that we need to think about the processes which are now revealing themselves in terms of the local and the global, in those two spaces, but we also need to think of these as more contra- dictory formulations than we usually do. Unless we do, I was con- cerned that we are likely to be disabled in trying to think those ideas politically. I was therefore attempting - certainly not to close out the ques- tions of power and the questions of appropriation which I think are lodged at the very center of any notion of a shift between the dis- positions of the local and the global in the emergence of a cultural politics on a world scale - but rather to conceptualize that within a more open-ended and contingent cultural politics. At the end of the' talk, however, I was obliged to ask if there is a politics, indeed, a counter-politics of the local. If there are new globals and new locals at work, who are the new subjects of this poli- tics of position? What conceivable identities could they appear in? Can identity itself be re-thought and re-lived, in and through difference? It is this question which is what I want to address here. I have called it "Old and New Identities, Old and New Ethnicities" and CULTURE, GLOBALIZATION AND THE WORLD-SYSTEM what I am going to do first is to return to the question of identity and try to look at some of the ways in which we are beginning to re- conceptualize that within contemporary theoretical discourses. I shall then go back from that theoretical consideration to the ground of a cultural politics. Theory is always a detour on the way to something more important. I return to the question of identity because the question of identity has returned to us; at any rate, it has returned to us in British politics and British cultural politics today. It has not returned in the same old place; it is not the traditional conception of identity. It is not going back to the old identity politics of the 1960s social movements. But it is, nevertheless, a kind of return to some of the ground which we used to think in that way. I will make a comment at the very end about what is the nature of this theoretical-political work which seems to lose things on the one side and then recover them in a dif- ferent way from another side, and then have to think them out all over again just as soon as they get rid of them. What is this never- ending theoretical work which is constantly losing and regaining concepts? I talk about identity here as a point at which, on the one hand, a whole set of new theoretical discourses intersect and where, on the other, a whole new set of cultural practices emerge. I want to begin by trying, very briefly, ...

Scott Faria
This tediously sourced and highly detailed work argues for a large-scale change in human culture, specifically in the context of economic practice. The dominant theme is that the current socioeconomic system governing the world at this time has severe structural flaws, born out of primitive economic and sociological assumptions originating in our early history, where the inherent severity of these flaws went largely unnoticed.

The Case Study Method in Social Inquiry1 ROBERT E. STAKE University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign It is widely believed that case studies are useful in the study of human affairs because they are down-to-earth and attention-holding but that they are not a suitable basis for generalization. In this paper, I claim that case studies will often be the preferred method of re- search because they may be epistemo- logically in harmony with the reader's experience and thus to that person a natural basis for generalization. Experience. We expect an inquiry to be carried out so that certain audiences will benefit — not just to swell the archives, but to help persons toward further understandings. If the readers of our reports are the persons who popu- late our houses, schools, governments, and industries; and if we are to help them understand social problems and social programs, we must perceive and communicate (see Bohm, 1974; Schon, 1977) in a way that accommodates their present understandings.2 Those people have arrived at their understandings mostly through direct and vicarious ex- perience. And those readers who are most learned and specialized in their disci- plines are little different. Though they write and talk with special languages, their own understandings of human af- fairs are for the most part attained and amended through personal experience. I believe that it is reasonable to con- clude that one of the more effective means of adding to understanding for all readers will be by approximating through the words and illustrations of our reports, the natural experience ac- quired in ordinary personal involve- ment. At the turn of the century, German philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey (1910) claimed that more objective and "sci- entific" studies did not do the best job of acquainting man with himself. Only from his actions, his fixed ut- terances, his effects upon others, can man learn about himself; thus he learns to know himself only by the round-about way of understanding. What we once were, how we de- veloped and became what we are, we learn from the way in which we acted, the plans which we once adopted, the way in which we made ourselves felt in our vocation, from old dead letters, from judgments on which were spoken long ago.. '. .we understand ourselves and others only when we transfer our own lived ex- perience into every kind of expres- sion of our own and other people's lives. He distinguished between the human studies and other kinds of studies. The human studies are thus founded on this relation between lived experi- ence, expression, and' understand- ing. Here for the first time we reach a quite clear criterion by which the de- limitation of the human studies can be definitively carried out. A study belongs to the human studies only if its object becomes accessible to us through the attitude which is founded on the relation between life, expres- sion, and understand.

Other means of persuasion, propaganda, & fallacies What conception of the mind underlies critical reasoning? How do other means of persuasion rely on a different conception of the mind/self? What conception of mind underlies critical reasoning? Review slides 1 – 7 & 10 in Week 1’s power point: “What is critical reasoning anyhow?” & slides 2 & 5 in Week 3’s (Week 4 for the in-class section) power point: “What is an argument in logic?” (This is very important to doing your final essay. You may also want to review the description of the course on the syllabus). Underlying this conception of critical reasoning is a conception of the mind that has varied somewhat in the history of Western philosophy, but tends to treat the mind as separate from the body [Descartes] and/or from the emotions [Kant], or if the emotions are taken into consideration, they are treated as subservient to the intellect [Socrates/Plato]. An exception to this “rule” is the philosopher Hume, who stated that reason is the slave of the emotions. Nietzsche can be interpreted as following in Hume’s footsteps. Therefore, in critical reasoning, our capacity for logical thinking takes precedent over our desires, and logical non-contradiction takes precedence over efficient means to achieving our desires; appeals to “good reasons” to support our claims take precedent over appeals to emotions or to authority or to tradition. In other words, evidence is supposed to replace even an expert’s judgment or the judgment of a tradition. This becomes tricky when an expert or authority is basing their judgment upon evidence that the rest of the public may not understand, or if any field of study has traditional ways of doing research, etc. What does this conception of mind entail? This conception of mind might underlie what Kant calls “enlightenment”, and it might also be part of the foundations of democratic thinking, insofar as the American and French revolutions were partly based on the idea that every individual citizen was capable of logical thought and had rational capacities, so deserved the vote. Those who were still denied the vote, such as women or slaves, were often considered suspect in their ability to reason or think rationally. Therefore, our conception of freedom was partly tied to the ability to think rationally, rather than to our capacity to feel pain or pleasure or to pursue our own desires. This also involved the notion that our thinking is conscious. Do we still believe in this same conception of mind? Can we separate the emotions from rationality or thinking? This has been questioned by both recent neuroscientists, such as D’Amasio (who wrote a book, “Descartes’ Error”), and recent philosophers. Should we want to separate the emotions from rationality? In what ways might emotions distort or undermine our rationality or our search for evidence, and in what ways might emotions contribute to our rationality and our search for evidence? For instance, do.
