(研究所碩士班 )【第112學年第2學期:A班】<br>This graduate course aims to acquaint students with the so called New English literatures or post-colonial literatures, literatures which are written in English by writers who learn how to wrestle with the language imposed upon them as the consequence of imperialism or colonization. Some post-colonial discourses or theories such as Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism (by Edward Said) will also be introduced while exploring the texts so that students are well read in the contexts that help generate the texts in question. Texts to be dealt with in the semester are A Pale View of Hills (by Kazuo Ishiguro), Wide Sargasso Sea (by Jean Rhys), Things Fall Apart (by Chinua Achebe), and Waiting (by Ha Jin) in this order.
