This dissertation is an attempt to map contradictions faced by thestudent in his/her experience of literary study. These contradictionscoalesce around an apparent struggle between proponents of difference incritical theory and forces of regulation in educational politics. In mappingthe tensions arising from the ideological struggle between differingcultural values, which are both represented in and conditioning forcesaround literatures and forms of study and assessment, this dissertationlocates the interests and values most effective In defining the identity ofliterary studies at the present time. Through this, the possibility fordifferent understandings of the practice and experience of literary studiesis argued.The Introduction asks the preliminary question, "what is thefunction of theory in literary study? " and surveys a range of responsesto establish the debate in which this project participates. In Part One,Chapter One, theories of deconstruction are explored as both powerfullyinfluential in the field of literary study, and suggesting the possibility foran open-ended process of reading as distinct from more determinatelyorganised forms of study. Chapter Two and Chapter Three theorise anIdea of the individual as a located subject through theories ofpostmodernity and subjectivity, in order to develop this understanding ofreading in relation to other important theories and as an effectivepractice.Part Two addresses the cultural context within which thesetheoretical concerns are located, and resultant ideological tensions.Chapter Four deals with the specific location and practice of literarystudies In the educational establishment, and moves towards aconsideration of the larger questions of the political regulation ofeducation in Chapter Five.Part Thre4 Chapter Sb4 places in tension the issues dealt with inParts One and Two. The conclusions explore this situation in terms of thepossibility for forms of literary study which activate the radical potentialof critical theory in an increasingly rationalised environment, to provokereadings of critical value for students.
