Course Title:
GLOBAL LITERATURES
Course Number:
ELI1029
Course Description:
This module introduces students to global literatures across geocultural spaces and historical periods through the study and critical analysis of a range of Anglophone and non-Anglophone texts. The central question that will guide our discussions is how literary texts engage with the idea of the world.
This will mean thinking about: (1) how literature is shaped by cultural, political, and economic forces; (2) how it registers diverse and historically contingent views of the world; (3) how it actively creates narrative worlds that respond to specific social and symbolic needs. In discussing these questions, we will also reflect on the value and challenges of studying literature today from a global, multilingual, and comparative perspective.
