ENGL 388 - Selected Authors: Salman Rushdie

FC ARHU CD WADV
4 credits
Focusing on Salman Rushdie’s oeuvre, this course examines the history, politics, society and cultures of South Asia - his oeuvre’s primary investment - as they are distilled through his perspective as a diasporic writer. The course contextualizes Rushdie’s work through theoretical/cultural concepts - hybridity, cosmopolitanism, national allegory - deriving from postcolonial studies with which his work is associated; and it examines gender ideologies that underwrite Rushdie’s representation of dominant or oppositional worldviews in the cultures he writes about.
Prerequisites & Notes: ENGL 299 or two 200-Level courses. Requirements can be waived with instructor consent.
