Dekonstruować po feministycznemu: o tendencyjnym podejściu do nauczania literatury na studiach licencjackich

Abstract

The article is concerned with the history of English literature course for BA students. It promotes combining a historical approach with developing students' analytical and interpretative skills. The author argues for practising deconstruction-cum-feminism in working with the Canon of English literature, and a list of texts particularly suitable to this method is included. The article ends with an example analysis and interpretation of an extract from Beowulf which is treated as a text constructing patriarchal gender roles.
