This course examines the idea of the post colonial via a close reading of works now collected under the term. The course examines themes and techniques from a formal and historical perspective, asking what ?postcolonial? means and whether it is a plausible and productive concept. The course concentrates on writers from countries formerly primarily colonized by the British. Topics include decolonization; the appropriation of the colonizer?s language, hybridity, exile, and the necessity of alienation and the relationship of the postcolonial to the postmodern. The function of orientalism, the role of censorship, and the political and historical importance of the figure of the author will also play a role in the course.

In less than two decades, the Republic of Ireland has shifted from a relatively poor country with a high level of national, racial, and ethnic homogeneity to a country with the world's fourth highest per capita income experiencing an exponential expansion of cultural diversity. One of the names used to describe this shift is "New Ireland," and this course will discuss the cultural dimensions of this term. We will examine selections from contemporary Irish literature and film which contribute to this analysis and contextualize our discussions with legal, political, and economic approaches to Irish social issues. Class work will include several short papers, a long research paper, and an exam.
