- Oktatás célja
- The main aim of the course is to acquaint students with women writers from across the globe who treat women’s experiences in their given socio-cultural environments. During the course, we are going to discuss literary representations of themes such as the diaspora experience, alienation, marriage and children as well as violence against women.
- Tantárgy tartalma
- Selected short stories by contemporary women writers as specified by the instructor (the Nigerian Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the Indian-American Jhumpa Lahiri, the French Annie Ernaux, the British-Jamaican Zadie Smith, the South African Zoë Wicomb and the Canadian Alice Munro). During the course we will also emphasize the cultural background of the works and the common themes that emerge independent of the cultural embeddedness of each work.
