Credits: 3
Description:
Description:
We will read some wonderful short stories, novels, poems and plays and watch some feature and documentary films from countries and cultures as diverse and rich as India, Pakistan, Sudan, Nigeria, Egypt, Palestine and The Caribbean among others. Our aim will be to see how, in the same culture, writers and other cultural artists, express at times, their love of certain traditional values and beliefs, whilst at other times we can glimpse voices of resistance and change in their works. We will interrogate the very idea of what constitutes “tradition” and ask: what are the historical and political conditions governing writers’ artistic responses and aesthetic choices? This course satisfies the F1 Great Works Gen Ed requirement.
