World Literature?

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

This course will attempt a critical inquiry into the renewed articulation of World Literature as concept, project and object of study over the last two decades. How can we situate this return with respect to postcolonial critique, late capitalism, globalization ecological catastrophe and digital technologies? What debates about worldliness, about literature, about translation and about reading has World Literature sparked? What might it mean to be for it or against it? Finally, what kind of framework does it offer for advanced research in the humanities now? Authors will include Goethe, Marx, Ahmad, Moretti, Damrosch, Slaughter, Cheah, Mufti, Casanova, Spivak, Apter, Cha, Al-Koni, Glissant.

When Offered Spring.
