SPAN 333 - Colonial/Postcolonial Encounters: Europe, Africa and the Americas

4 credits
This course focuses on the interdisciplinary aspects of literature and texts that represent colonial, neo-colonial and post-colonial encounters (Columbus and the “cannibals;” Malinche and Cortez; Pocahontas and John Smith; Prospero and Caliban; contemporary migrants and the immigration officials at the sea or land border of USA or Spain). Our task will be to discuss the notions of power and powerlessness, center and periphery, purity and hybridism, First and Third World, cultural identity and globalization that may be present in these encounters. Prerequisite: SPAN 310  or special permission. CLA-Breadth/Humanities
