  •  Recap

    Over the next few weeks I will be introducing you to eight schools of criticism – Biographical, New Critical, Marxist, Structural, Jungian, Psychoanalytical, Feminist, and Post-Colonial – giving a little history behind each, and showing how they can be used to critique the video game Katamari Damacy for the PlayStation 2.

    Part One focused on Biographical and New Critical critiques. Here I’ll be talking about the Marxist, Structural, and Jungian schools of criticism.
