Notes

【Course Objectives】

This year, we will conduct close readings of three epoch-makings works concerning British imperialism and colonialism. The period between the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century was when the colonial ruling of the world by Euro-American powers was at its prime. Especially, the British empire built a worldwide network of colonies, which gained the nickname of ‘an empire where the sun never sets.' Behind the empires' prospirity, there were such serious issues as ruling and being ruled, ‘civilisation' and ‘savagery,' and the reinforcement and crisis of the identity of the individuals. Many contemporary novels took them up as their main themes.

In the spring semester, we will read Things Fall Apart by the Nigerian author Chinua Achebe. Achebe was one of the most important novelists in the post-colonialist literary movements, which burgeoned in the wake of the Second World War. In contrast to the two works we read in the spring semester, Things Fall Apart is written from the viewpoint of those who were ruled by the colonisers. Achebe is also known as a severe critic of Joseph Conrad, one of the authors we deal with in the spring semester. Examining Things Fall Apart will give us a chance to consider imperialism and colonialism in a wider perspective, and to think more deeply about the problematics of political power,identity and gender.

【Course Contents】

The work will be divided into 12 sections.

A presentation group, a translation group, and a question group for each session will be appointed. All students will be assigned one presentation, one translation and one question task during the semester. The responsibilities of each group are as follows:

All members of the presenting group will work together to create a presentation containing (1) a summary of the assigned part of the text (2) notes to aid the understanding of the work [cultural and historical background, definitions of proper nouns, etc. and (3) an analysis of the assigned part. The presentation group must send their handout to both the commenting group and the teacher before the class session. The presenting group members will distribute their handout to the remainder of students on the day of the class and make a presentation.

The question group will read the handout in advance and prepare questions to improve the class’ understanding of the work. After the presenting group finishes their presentation, members of the question group will provide their questions to the presenters.

The translating group will be responsible for translating English passages related to the work. The group will work together to prepare their best translation. The teacher will correct the translation and provide comments during class. The translation group is expected to email their completed translation to the teacher at least 3 days prior to the class.

All students will write several response papers over the duration of the course.
