The course will focus on a range of Anglophone literatures, recently referred to as postcolonial literatures (New Zealand, Indian, Nigerian, South African, Anglophone Caribbean, and Australian literatures). Both the lectures and seminars familiarise the students with key literary texts of these literatures as well as theoretical assumptions of postcolonial criticism informed by postmodern and poststructuralist strategies. The major focus of the seminars will be an interpretation of primary sources selected from a wide geographical spectrum of contemporary Anglophone literatures from the point of view of postcolonial thought as well as TEFL.
Themes:
1. Postcolonial Literature –Definition, major issues of postcolonial theory, the role of English, postcolonial literatures and ICC
2. New Zealand Literature
3. Indian Literature in English
4. Teaching Practice – reading assignment, no classes
5. Nigerian Literature
6. South African Literature in English
7. Australian Literature
8. Anglophone Caribbean Literature
