This course focuses on some of the major literary figures
responsible for innovating literature's political role
in society and redefining the responsibility of artists and
critics in the twentieth century. The euphoria created
by the struggles against colonization and racial and class
oppression in various parts of the world led artists to
reevaluate the political possibilities of literature. The
study of a group of writers at the nexus of these struggles
incorporates a critical dialogue on cultural studies.
Accordingly, the course puts the emphasis
on the theoretical debates on how culture, ideology,
'race', ethnicity and class have been defined and/or
represented. An important learning outcome is to equip the
student with the conceptual tools to analyze a variety
of literary texts with respect to politics,
ideology and resistance.
