Inhalt
An extensive and exciting range of Anglophone literature from countries other than Britain and the United States that has emerged over the last half century is from Africa, the Caribbean, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and other regions of the former British Empire. These ‘New’ English Literatures grapple with the multiple legacies of colonialism in rewriting the narrative of conquest and decolonisation, assessing the social, political, and economic context of post-independence, resisting metropolitan dominance and neo-colonial tendencies, and engaging with the transnationalism of our globalised world. This lecture introduces students to Postcolonial Literatures of the English-speaking world as well as central key-concepts of Postcolonial Literary Studies. It specifically concentrates on the Postcolonial Novel providing a systematic overview of central texts and preoccupations, such as writing back, language, nation, feminism, hybridity, diaspora, history, memory, place, cosmopolitanism, ecology, indigeneity, intersectionality, and transculturality.

It is recommended to combine this class with the course "Postcolonial Nobel Prize Laureates".
