Assess graduate students' understanding of structuralist and post-structuralist frameworks for narratively analyzing 20th-century French literature. Test knowledge of major theorists (e.g., Propp, Greimas, Genette, Barthes, Derrida, Foucault), core concepts (narrative functions, deep structure, semiotics, deconstruction, authorial intentionality), methods for applying these approaches to primary texts, and the ability to compare frameworks and critique their explanatory strengths and limits.
