Returns of the Repressed - This course will consider how unresolved problems of the past continue to haunt the contemporary British novel. “Returns of the Repressed” may range from personal traumas and difficult truths that have not been fully processed to groups of people who have suffered systematic inequality and violence. The semester will be divided into sections devoted to these returns including the traumas of two world wars, the aftermath of the global British empire and its collapse, Britain’s uneasy relationship to immigrants and postcolonial subjects, shifting gender roles and changing conceptions of sexual identity, and concerns about the novel’s continued relevance in the context of emergent, scientific discourses and new media. In examining these issues, we will ask how innovations in contemporary British fiction enable us to rethink larger questions about nationality, trauma, historical responsibility, and their narration. Readings will include works by Pat Barker, Kazuo Ishiguro, Jeanette Winterson, Zadie Smith, Tom McCarthy, Hanif Kureishi, and China Mieville.
