Representation of cultural identity and experience in works drawn from diverse cultural traditions. Prerequisite(s): English 103 with a grade of C or better or exemption. General Education Requirement: (FSLT) Unit(s): 1 Additional Information: This course is concerned with writing and reading across cultural boundaries and deals with novels, memoirs, and ethnographies that investigate cross-cultural experience from a variety of cultural sources. Its purpose, in part, is to come to an understanding of some of the ways that writers have tried to make sense of such experience and of some of the issues that confront us as readers of multicultural texts. In recent offerings readings have been drawn from Native American, Asian American, and African literature, as well as from narrative accounts of other cultures written by anthropologists, and have even included a science-fictional account of an encounter between wholly imaginary cultures. More generally, this course is intended to develop skills and techniques of literary analysis, to help students to read and interpret with some clarity a broad range of texts. It also aims to improve students' ability to write an effective analytical essay.
