May be repeated for credit as topics change each semester. Two topics are offered Fall 2019. Section A1: Post-colonial Theater. A cross-cultural study of national theater movements during decolonization, reading plays by world-class Anglophone dramatists of the twentieth century in three different settings: Gregory, Synge, and Yeats (Ireland); Walcott and his Trinidad Theatre Workshop; Soyinka and Ladipo (Nigeria). Section B1: Feminist Comics. Focusing on recent work, this course examines comics that interrogate the experience of being gendered female. We ask how the texts we read develop spaces of resistance against heterosexist violence and discrimination based on race, class, age, and perceived ability.
