Reading the Global Novel: Modernity and its Others

This course examines Western and non-Western visions of modernity through an exploration of the global novel. The class discusses what it means to be modern, what it means to be excluded from modernity, and how postcolonial authors might re-conceptualize the modern. Topics such as colonialism, capitalism, empire, science, reason, magic, and environmental injustice are also covered. Meets with LIT-667 002.
