ENG 244 - Literatures of Remembrance: Colonialism, the Holocaust, and Global Memory


This course explores the emergent field of `memory studies’ by examining connections in postcolonial and Holocaust fictions. The course will begin by considering theorizations of memory (for instance, multidirectional, prosthetic, and postmemory) and then examine the status of memory in recent postcolonial novels (including examples from South Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean) and in novels about the Holocaust. 1st year students by permission only. For English majors, this course may satisfy the D-3 or E requirements but cannot double count. For English minors, this course can count either as a seminar in Theory (E) or as a 200-level English seminar, but it cannot double-count for the two requirements.
