Program

"Secret stories and hidden history in Australian literature"
After an introduction of postcolonial studies and the of the main theoretical and critical contributions in this field, lectures will focus on the socio-political and cultural context of colonial Australia. Three novels by both Anglo-Saxon and Indigenous Australian writers will be read and analysed, focusing on historically resonant, but still contemporary, themes like colonial exploitation, racial discrimination, dislocation/alienation, historical silence and the feeling of shame.
