ENGL 093 PZ -World Literature in an Oceanic Context

Institution: Pitzer

Description: A survey of world literature, this course will focus on fiction in the context of the world’s connected waterways will give us an alternative approach to the sustained continental focus on landmasses, states, and nations. How might rivers, not just as settings or metaphors, but also as analytics, help us to see the world’s geography and communities differently? What connections and histories are more visible if we shift our geographical parameters to, say, the Horn of Africa or the Indian Ocean? Authors will include Amitav Ghosh, Caryl Phillips, Abdulrazak Gurnah, and Tayleb Salih, among others.
