Course objectives
The course will familiarize students with Jan Mukařovskýs esthetics and criticism as they developed througout his career from the early psychologism, through the formalist and structuralist stages, to the marxist-leninist finale.
Main objectives can be summarized as follows:
to understand basic notions of Czech strukturalism;
to learn the history of Mukařovský's work;
to interpret his work independently
to locate structuralism in the broader context of literary theory.
