ENGL 194 PZ -Terror and the Text

Institution: Pitzer College

Description: This course draws from the archive of Anglophone literature to trace the way literature has imagined and represented acts of terroism, from across the 20th century to the present. Our aim will be to explore the global and historical contexts of terrorism, and to situate the contemporary moment through works of imaginative fiction, which mediate the relationships between state and insurgent, just war and terror, and ultimately self and other.
