Course Description
This course serves as a cross-cultural and intercultural introduction to the advanced study of literature from comparative perspectives. The concepts of comparative literature and world literature and even post-world literature are investigated along with the various cultural and literary issues we come across in the study of literature. We examine such areas of interest as influence, reception, genres, and style as well as focusing on themes and of course historical and political context. The course covers recent cultural and literary theories and also classic texts in literary and cultural criticism. The course also examines recent Asian humanities texts in seeking to set up an intercultural perspective on important world texts.
