Comment/Description

The aim of this course is to examine literature existing (ostensibly) outside of canon, or our perception thereof. Departing from margins as spaces at the very ends of decided canonical spectrum, the seminar will centre on various interpretations of the term and consider texts that would fit its broad understanding. The selected texts and theoretical works underscore both the importance of literature from the margins for educational and sensitising purposes as well as the ability to expand the scope of analysis to previously unconsidered horizons. We will approach the texts from different perspectives, including feminist theory, disability studies and fandom studies.

Texts that will be considered in this course include:

You Truly Assumed by Laila Sabreen
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa
Messy Roots: A Graphic Memoir of a Wuhanese-American by Laura Gao (graphic novel, excerpts will be provided)

For the 2-course-module EAS-1411, this PS is to be combined with the Ü "Narrative Analysis: Postcolonial Short Fiction" (Stojanovic).
