SPAN 340 - Colonial Shadows


3 Credit Hours
SPAN340 uses colonial and postcolonial theory to study a number of literary and artistic works (painting, sculpture, etc.) and examine these within their specific historical contexts. The unique characteristics of each work will be studied in conjunction with other works and within discrete themes that will serve to unify the study of colonial and postcolonial letters, poems, short stories, essays, theater, and fragments of novels alongside paintings, drawings, sculptures and works of architecture, among other examples.
