ENG 168 - Global Fictions (Cornerstone Seminar)Three Credits
Periodically or As Needed
In this section students encounter work by contemporary authors and filmmakers from around the globe. We’ll study this work within the broader framework of recent debates on colonization and post-colonization, globalization, migration, and war. We’ll consider issues relating to belonging and displacement; the legacies of imperialism; the local and the global; the meaning of home; diasporic, migrant and refugee identities. In order to see how contemporary writers and filmmakers have engaged with these questions, we’ll study work produced by artists from the Caribbean (Antigua, Haiti, and Martinique), Northern Africa (Syria, Iraq, and Iran), North, Central and South America (Canada, Mexico, and Columbia), and Europe (England). Only open to students that have not completed the Literature Cornerstone requirement.
