- Class Description:
- This course focuses on world feminist and queer writing as literary form, containing thematic of expression that trace not only history and memory of women and femme embodied living, but also the macro positionality of the postcolonial, transnational, global as a form of relation. Centered on writing from and about the majority world (the non-West), we explore how literature has addressed relationality, colonialism, nationalism, capitalism, and globalization, as well as how these forces have shaped the production and consumption of literature. We focus on the multiple strategies - textual, aesthetic, and ideological, -- those writers employ to address and represent other ways of knowing and being - to decolonize, queer, and transform themselves and their worlds. We read multiple genres including essay, report, voice narrative, graphic narrative, fiction, from across transnational geographies of Asia, Africa, Caribbean, South America, Middle East and diasporas lives. We are also looking at capitalism and colonialism in the context of settler colonialism. Some of the dominant themes and concepts we address include migration, indigenous knowledge, border, memory, language, inequality, poetry of life and environment.
