Section Title:
Novel,Postcolonialism & Lit
Section Info:
This seminar focuses on the confluence of three bodies of work: narrative theory, postcolonial studies, and the idea of world literature. Considered the (post)colonial genre par excellence, the novel nonetheless has roots in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, 12thcentury Japan and 16thcentury China. How do feminism and postcolonial studies speak to the classical European theory of the novel (from Lukács to Bakhtin, Watt, and Moretti)? How do themes of resistance culture, including the challenge to patriarchy and Eurocentrism, address the globalization of the novel and the imperialism of English? In addition to the above-mentioned theorists, readings from major contributions to each of the three fields may include Ortega y Gasset, Jameson, Radway, Armstrong, Doody, Said, Spivak, Casanova, and Damrosch.
