Description

Subject Area: English

This course examines problems and issues in literary and cultural texts produced by diasporic, migrant and expatriate writers. Various works are analysed to investigate issues such as cultural identity, subjectivity, displacement, memory, family and home. It investigates the complex nature of these issues, examines their cultural and cross-cultural contexts, and explains their significance in a period of increasing global mobility. Ultimately, the course is designed to enable students to deepen and broaden their appreciation of global literatures in English.
