Subject Description

The object of this subject is to introduce students to source materials and approaches which may contribute to an understanding of the processes of international change and exchange. For the most part, these fall outside the purview of disciplinary international relations. Throughout, our attention will be directed to the South and to the South's engagement with the North. Three broad kinds of source materials have been designated: the utility of literary narratives; the relevance of gender and sexuality; and the significance of place and space. Students who complete this subject should be able to address the politics of literary and other narratives of the North/South encounter; evaluate the significance of the representations contained therein; and compare and contrast approaches in international relations and postcolonialism.

Assessment

Written work totalling 4000 words.
