    Writing Essays about Colonialism and Postcolonialism
    (Mouloud Mammeri University of Tizi Ouzou, 2024) GADA Said
    This course attempts to chart the area of Colonial and Postcolonial Studies. It is designed for Master I students in Literature and Interdisciplinary Approaches. The course is composed of a lecture and a tutorial of 1h 30 mn each. Semester One of this master’s program is tailored for students who seek to study and understand colonial practices of power and their manifestations in the past and the present. The consequences of colonial conquests and discourses of the world need exploration. Thus, this master’s syllabus in “Writing Essays about Colonialism and Postcolonialism” is proposed to suggest areas of studies so as to meet the needs for critical analysis of the meanings, implications, and consequences of colonialism. The task, therefore, is to critically examine the manifestations of civilizational and Eurocentric discourses mainly in literary, political, economic, cultural, and artistic representations. During the first semester, the program of the courses will focus on the history of imperialism and aims at taking students to different corners of the world through studying shared experiences. It particularly lays the foundation with studies in the history of the French and the British Empires and the impacts on their colonial territories. Then, central theories in postcolonial criticism will be provided through studies of texts of authors from the Caribbean, East Indies, North and Sub-Saharan Africa.
