WiSe 20/21: S-Colonial and Postcolonial Literatures: Narrating India
Stephan Laqué
Kommentar
Postcolonial theory addresses the effects and legacies of colonial rule and makes an effort to respect the particular over universals. In this course we will look at novels which explore the postcolonial situation of India both at home (i.e. in India) and away (i.e. in Britain) and we will try to assess the merits of postcolonial theory with regard to these different forms of writing which highlight such questions as marginality and centrality, disenfranchisement and agency, diaspora and home. Please purchase copies of these four novels which we are going to read in this order: Salman Rushdie, Midnight's Children (Picador), Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things (Flamingo), Hanif Kureishi, The Buddha of Suburbia (Faber), Nirpal Singh Dhaliwal, Tourism (Vintage).
