- Inhalt
- Policies to integrate migrants in host society have significant impact on the psychological wellbeing of migrants. When integration strategies of immigrants and acculturation expectations of host societies do not correspond, the integration policies fail with negative outcomes. A culturally balanced society needs commitment and efforts form the migrants to integrate in host society. In parallel, the host society must set realistic expectations and be tolerant towards change in order to create decent intercultural relations. To understand the intercultural relations in The Namesakeand Native Speaker we will discuss and apply various hypotheses like the multiculturalism hypothesis, the integration hypothesis, and the contact hypothesis throughout this course.
In this course we will critically discuss theories related to migration and apply them to the stories and characters of the primary texts. We will explore how integration is distinct from assimilation. We will also review the distinctions between multiculturalism and interculturalism and how cultural clash leads to identity crisis.
It is highly recommended that the participants read the novels and refresh their knowledge of the literary terms before the start of the course.
