Abstract
This is a syllabus for an Introduction to Contemporary World Literature course that explores major cultures through short stories and excerpts from world-renowned authors. The focus of this course is on multicultural texts, with an emphasis on gender, post-colonialism, memoir, magic realism, indigenous peoples, migrants,and self-reflection. This course is meant to teach students how to demonstrate familiarity with important authors, works, genres, and themes of contemporary world literature; how to analyze and interpret themes using the conventions of literary analysis; and how to demonstrate the ability to analyze the literature by using textual evidence to support an interpretation of an author’s work.
