This course will focus on the fictional and non-fictional oeuvre of one of the most prominent Anglophone writers of our time -- Salman Rushdie. Class discussions will seek to contextualize (and be contextualized by) a host of theoretical/cultural concepts deriving from postcolonial studies -- like hybridity, mongrelization, migration, cosmopolitanism, national allegory-- with which Rushdie’s work is associated or seen as exemplifying in particularly accurate and cogent ways. The course will be reading intensive and require significant student engagement. British, Diversity, Post-1900. Enrollment Limit: 25.
