WL102W-3 Literature Across Cultures World Literature Arts and Social Sciences In this course, we will consider the use of contemporary literary forms and genres in a survey of World Literature. Specifically, we will focus on narratives that feature Sub-worlds and Other worlds. These narrative settings offer an interesting perspective on World Literature because they stretch and skew the boundaries of traditional narrative locations. We will begin with a discussion of the literary canon and basic elements of fiction. Then we will venture into the genre of drama and a study of social issues, identity, the self and the other. Our discussion will move on to include texts from a wide variety of cultures and authors (from Asia, Africa and Europe, to the Americas). We will look at diverse literary ways of “othering”: the double, the absurd, and sub-worlds. Breadth-Humanities and W- Writing.
