ENGL 44101 - Women and Writing: Freedom, Conflict and Meaning

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

"This course focuses upon post-colonial texts by female authors from the Middle East and Africa. Some of the important issues touched upon include: women's rights, familial politics, the dynamic between the colonizer and colonized, and differing ideas or brands of feminism. The course emphasizes the importance of understanding the experiences and emotions of women in their own words and on their own terms. It is designed to challenge students' assumptions and teach them to critically examine texts (and sub-texts) in order to develop an understanding of what utilizing the vehicle of fiction can bring to a deeper understanding of the study of cultural complexities, physical pain, and both racial and gender based domination.
