New Courses East Asian Studies EAS333H1 This course considers the problem of colonial modernism through a close reading of literary and other cultural tests from early 20th century Korea. It asks what it means to enter modernity under colonial rule, and questions the relationship between imperialism, writing and subjectivity in particular. Topics covered include the role of literature in elaborating new concepts of subjectivity, literature and the fine arts as assimilatory practices, the emergence of urban space and consequent reconfiguration of notions of the rural, and changing notions of time and space in the cultural products of nativism. Readings of literary works will be accompanied by showings of paintings and photographs from the period, as well as discussion of theoretical essays on modernism. EAS439H1 Through a sustained reading of several novels this course studies Bildungsroman, the story of an individual’s “coming of age,” in the context of twentieth-century political, cultural, and social developments of imperialism, anti-colonialism, human rights discourse, and globalization. Our focus will be novels from the (post)colonial world and theoretical essays on the Bildungsroman form. The course aims to provide a model for rethinking literary history and literary genres within a global context. We will thus not read these novels as copies of European Bildungsroman, but consider how their form relates to social formations of colonialism and globalization. This will entail, for example, exploring the temporal structure which undergirds both the form of the novel and the notion of self-development that is then aligned with development of the nation, colony, or otherwise. Attention will be paid both to how these novels instantiate, resist or otherwise engage creatively with the novelistic conventions of human development, and to our own desire to read novels as Bildungsroman. Authors may include Yi Kwangsu Wu Zhuoliu Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Kang Younghill, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Camara Laye, amongst others. Latin American Studies LAS302H1 An advanced seminar featuring in-depth exploration of

State culture, subgroup culture, globalized culture and more.

arts that concern both artists and theorists: the nature of interpretation
and of expression. What might we mean when we say that a work, a piece
of music or a dance for example expresses something? What is it to
express? And what is the nature of interpretation? Are there any constraints
or boundaries on interpretation? We will draw on both philosophers
and non-philosophers to explore these sorts of questions. Victoria College -- Literary Studies Courses VIC 352Y1 This course will examine how a variety of international
authors, both
nineteenth century and modern, handle the themes of mortality, sexual
passion and love in their short fiction. Particular emphasis will

dialogue, the economy of narrative, etc, etc. Students will read Chekhov
(The Kiss, Lady with a Dog) and Tolstoy (Master and Man) but
will
also be exposed to such contemporary popular authors as Elmore Leonard
