Title: WORLD LITERATURE: BORDER IMAGINATIONS AND ENCOUNTERS

Section: 02

Semester: Fall - 2010

Credits: 3

Description:
This course deals with literatures and cultures of U.S. border spaces. Taking a transnational approach to the study of U.S. borders, immigration histories, and “the Americas” broadly constructed, we will examine how border-texts, including novels, corridos, films, and memoirs, both construct and contest dominant histories of cross-cultural encounters in border spaces and militarized zones. We will start with representations of the U.S.-Mexico border and then consider narratives of the U.S. relationship with the Asia-Pacific and the Caribbean.
