ENGLISH 2000: Globalization and Literature (Perspectives in Literature, spring 2013)
- OpenOpen
In this course, we will study literature across genres, eras, and locales. We will examine broad themes such as family and home, the individual and society, good and evil, and the conflicts surrounding globalization. Specifically, we will examine the fascinating and yet confusing concept of globalization, especially its relation to literature. The central question that we will ask in this class is: what does globalization feel like? The novels, short stories, non-fiction essays, plays, and poems that we will read will help us answer this question, for literature is very good at revealing and performing feelings.
