ENGL 853 - Diasporic Literatures

Three hours.
3 Credits

This course consists of readings, films, and class discussions intended to continue the debate emerging from the course on postcolonial theories and literatures. It will examine such concepts as diasporic identities, cosmopolitanism, and “thinking beyond the nation.” Also considered will be new cultural forms of a post-national world, such as the postcolonial cyberpunk, North African Rai music, transnational soap operas, and global internet cultures.
