Learning outcomes

The course aims at introducing students to the main themes and theoretical issues of postcolonial studies through an in-depth analysis of representative colonial and postcolonial texts in English. Besides an historical and theoretical introduction to the subject of postcolonial studies lectures will focus on the critical reading of three novels giving voice to different realities of the British Empire (Australian, Caribbean, “Black British”) belonging to different historical periods between colonial and post-colonial age. The analysis of critical readings on the novels will help to lay emphasis on key-concepts in postcolonial studies: “alterity”, “centre/margin”, “creolization”, “diaspora”, ethnicity”, “hybridity”, “contact zone/frontier”.
