CMPL 265 - Anglophone Literatures of the Third World

3 HU, CD, WR
Second Semester. Through a variety of theoretical essays and novels, this course will examine the problems of definition, analysis, and evaluation that attend our interpretation of works from the “Third World.”We will consider, for instance, whether or not: 1) “Third World” or “Postcolonial” 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 already enactments of resistance against dominant ideologies and formations is effective. Diversity, Post-1900. F, WL. This course is cross-referenced with ENGL 265.
