ITAL 340L - Moving Across Borders: Migration and Diversity in Europe


3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded (includes P/F option)
Not repeatable for credit

Description:
While focusing on questions of transculturality and literary representations of diversity, this comparative class introduces students to key authors and texts in the field of contemporary European literature. The course examines the discursive construction of diversity in today’s de-centered, globalized world and discusses the analytic benefits of the relatively new paradigm of ‘transculturality’ for literary and cultural studies. The focal point of interest are questions of identity and migratory experiences in German, French, and Italian novels in particular. The course is structured primarily along the diversity categories of race, socioeconomic class, and culture (national origin and ethnicity). Taught in English; readings in the original language are available upon request.
