ENGL 325 - Global Fiction

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

English

Description:

Focusing on award-winning novels from non-Western countries, this course examines a number of cultural issues-social, political, and religious-that shape, empower or challenge personal identity and nationalcharacter. We will explore many of the following questions: What is the impact of European colonization on native people? What cultural conditions allow a character to achieve his or her aims or possibilities? How can economic, social, and spiritual alienation be overcome? Finally, we will notice that these authors are interested in the power of fiction not only to invent but to alter current social realities.
