Theoretical Foundations of Deconstruction in Literary Criticism

This exam focuses on the theoretical principles underlying deconstruction as a method of literary criticism. It examines how deconstruction reveals inherent contradictions within texts and philosophical positions.

Understanding these principles is essential for engaging with contemporary theoretical debates. Deconstruction challenges traditional interpretations and fosters critical thinking in the humanities, thereby influencing various fields such as literature, philosophy, and cultural studies.

The exam will assess the student's ability to articulate key concepts of deconstruction and discuss its implications in a verbal format. Students will also analyze specific texts through the lens of deconstructive theory.

Participants are encouraged to consider the broader consequences of deconstruction within academic discourse and to apply their understanding to exemplary texts.
