Does the word refer to a new historical periodization in the study of world literatures, a recent trend in critical theory, or a type of minority discourse? What is the relation of "postcolonial" to descriptions such as "poststructuralist" and "postmodern" on the one hand, and "global," "world," and "cosmopolitan" on the other? Most important, how is the postcolonial narrativized in different forms of writings? This course may be of interest to students in Comp Lit, English, Modern Culture and Media, and other literature and culture specializations. Written permission required.
