Expanded Course Description
An introduction to the study of world literature from an explicitly comparative perspective. Students consider the global transmissions and translations of literary forms. Students learn to address the often fraught and politically contested ways in which literary texts (e.g. genres, motifs, rhetorical modes) move among cultures, regions and historical epochs. Accordingly, students are introduced to the complexities and intricacies of literary translation and are offered a basic grounding in translation theory.
This course is designed to satisfy Arts and Letters group requirement due to its broad introductory nature and given its focus on international cultural contexts and the global circulation of literary forms, offers a strong introduction to the discipline of Comparative Literature. It satisfies the Global Perspectives requirement as it helps students develop a critical awareness of the socio-political uses and purposes of culture in transnational and global contexts, challenging a mono-cultural perspective.
