Deconstructing "Citizen Kane."
McGinty, Sarah Myers
English Journal, v76 n1 p46-50 Jan 1987
Proposes a study of "Citizen Kane" in high school using a somewhat simplified version of post-modern literary critical theory. Chooses this film because of its familiarity and accessibility and because the ambiguity and indeterminacy of its text allow room for exploration by students. (NKA)
