ENGL 319 - Charting Globalization in Diaspora Films and Novels

FC ARHU WINT
4 credits
Identifying the origins of present-day globalization in the colonial era, this course will engage with literary and cinematic texts that explore the connection between globalization and diaspora to discuss the broader phenomenon of nation formation, geopolitical conflict, migration and shifting everyday human interactions across race, class and gender. In addition to discussing novels by Amitav Ghosh, Tahmina Anam, and Sahar Mustafah, we will also view films by Mira Nair, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Jon M. Chu. Our discussions will be framed by the critical work of Arjun Appadurai, Kwame Anthony Appiah and Gayatri Spivak.
This course is cross-listed with CMPL 319
