Content
What is the pertinence of `high’ theory to the work of imaginative production? Can we really separate theory from creative practice? It can be argued, for instance, that creative works partially repress and forget the theories on which they are, paradoxically, founded. Is theoretical practice, then, a memory of this forgetting? In order to grapple with such and other questions, you will be introduced to an array of theoretical models. You will be asked to find original ways of using one or more of these frameworks in shaping both the creative and exegetical components of your thesis.
