This course investigates forms of culture that arise out of
migration. In rap music, internet blogs, puppetry and
bilingual theater, as well as in the more traditional
genres of literature and poetry, the course looks
at how migrants and their descendents use cultural
work to explore questions of identity,
citizenship and community. The course may include work by
migrants in and across Europe, the Americas, Asia
or Africa; it will also look at the transnational
connections migrants make among these different
spaces. Students are encouraged to discover and
analyze new cultural production in any media, using
the theoretical resources developed
over the semester.
