{"ModuleCode":"EN3264","ModuleTitle":"In Other Wor(l)ds: Post -colonial Theory & Literature","Department":"English Language & Literature","ModuleDescription":"This course provides an intensive introduction to key topics in post-colonial theory through an overview of representative literary and theoretical texts. The syllabus demonstrates the vexed significance of the “post” in post-colonial cultural traditions. In tracing how decolonization remains bound up with older, colonial forms of knowledge/power, we approach post-coloniality as an aftermath. Through a range of writerly forms and cultural media, we identify the post-colonial in the question of “tradition” and its centrality to “non-Western” modernity; in inscriptions of race/ethnicity/sexuality into Third World humanism; as the mourning for a vanishing past; as aesthetic resistance to homogenizing processes of modernization.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-3-0-0-7","Prerequisite":"Cohort 2011 and before: EN1101E or GEK1000.

\n\t\t\t\t** note that all readings under 'supplementary' are not required; but you are urged to read these if you want a deeper grasp of the week's materials for seminar discussion. Readings under 'recommmended' will broaden your scope of an area of set of thinkers, should find you are especially interested in that particular unit. It is important that you source all texts not listed for you under IVLE -- the coop frequently orders fewer texts than required; so use opentrolley.com (a local online store) or alternative sources; alternatively, find hardcopies on reserve for this class and make photocopies ahead of time.
