Full Description

This exam evaluates the intersection of Reader-Response Theory with feminist literary criticism, examining how reader engagement informs feminist interpretations of texts. Emphasis is placed on gendered readings.

Feminist literary criticism benefits significantly from understanding reader engagement, as it challenges the traditional male-centric perspectives in literature. The reader's role in feminist interpretations opens up new discursive spaces.

Participants will demonstrate their ability to articulate the contributions of reader-response perspectives within feminist critiques. This includes analyzing how various readers approach female authors and characters.

It is suggested to review key feminist texts alongside reader-response theorists to prepare for discussions on interpretative differences and gender dynamics in reading.
