UTLIT 201 - Global Cities and Migrant Narratives

Institution:

The University of Tampa

Subject:

Description:

This course will introduce students to narratives of immigrants to major cities as the foundation for our investigation into how ever-shifting local urban cultures inform and are informed by inter- and intra-continental networks of people, businesses, organizations, and political bodies. Through writing about migrant literature, films, plays, music, and/or other cultural artifacts, students will trace how "local" experiences from around the world influence the ever-shifting cultural milieux of the contemporary "global" city. Students will closely read and watch the stories of immigrants to a city chosen for the focus of the class using critical texts drawn from several humanities disciplines such as history, literary studies, cultural studies, philosophy, and film studies to gain an understanding of what makes a "global" city.
