ENGL 265 - Third World Literatures in English


4 HU, CD, WR
Second Semester. Through theoretical essays and novels, we will examine the problems of definition and evaluation that attend our interpretation of works from the “Third World.” We will consider whether or not: 1) “Third World” or “Post-colonial” are appropriate designations; 2) notions of “marginality,” “difference,” and  “alterity,” so often deployed to characterize these works, are useful interpretive tools; 3) the perception that these works are always enactments of resistance against dominant ideologies is effective. Identical to CMPL 265. Diversity, Post-1900.
