Postcolonial Studies (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Anthony Waters

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 08:15 - 09:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 5.325 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Post-colonial theory is about the consequences of Europe’s encounter with the rest of the world since the sixteenth century, as seen from the perspective of the “post-colonial” countries. Readings and activities are focused on how economics, politics, sociology, and ecology of the world changed as a consequence of the cultures that spread around the world since the seventeenth century. Classics of Post-colonial Theory start with authors such as Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, and Benedict Anderson. I will bring my interests in Southeast Asia and East Africa, and ask students to discuss other areas and interests based on their interests. Particularly relevant will be the ethical underpinnings of governance, politics, and trade in the establishment and maintenance of colonialism.

Post-colonial Literature (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Anthony Waters

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Dienstag | 08:15 - 09:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 7.019 Seminarraum

Inhalt: "Post-colonial Literature" describes the emergence of literature framing how a new nation comes to see and define itself as the colonial departs. As will be described in the class, this involves creating a shared consciousness through the media of story-telling. Required is the generation of new narratives about who is "us" and "them." This happens through literature in various forms. Among them are fiction, newspapers, film, music lyrics, etc.
