- Inhalt
- This course will explore the postcolonial novels by writers of South Asian origin, which have been both written and published in the last two decades. We will examine literary dynamics of postcolonial South Asia and look at them as manifested in selected novels. The course will also discuss and explore themes such as identity, sexuality, nation-building, partition, exile and migration. We will also touch on critical issues relevant to the region and its Diasporas around the world.
Each participant is expected to give a short presentation on the major topics of one text and lead us into a discussion. The central part of each session, however, will be devoted to close readings and to situating the text concerning its historical, cultural, and social context.
