THEORIZING FIGHT CLUB

In this last section, we will apply the various theories we have learned to David Fincher's film, Fight Club. The film invites a reading through each of the theories discussed so far: Narratology, Psychoanalysis, theories of gender and sex, Postmodernism, and theories of ideology. By applying each of the theories discussed this semester, these last two weeks will serve as hands-on practice for the final exam.
