| dc.description.abstract | This course introduces students to the genre of travel literature through critical readings of travel literary works from diverse cultures in different historical periods from the antiquity to the modern times. The travel narratives range across historical time-periods to enable an understanding of the way the genre has evolved through time in form and content, and how every travel narrative as a discourse is impacted by the social and cultural conditions of its production. Students would be made to develop a contextual understanding of travel writing’s relation with the processes of European colonialism and post-colonialism and would be able to examine the ideologies underlying travel texts such as gender, racism and Orientalism. Through critical readings, the students are expected to develop analytical skills and to produce critical essays about different issues related to travel literature, such as the representation of the ‘other,’ the imperial gaze, the binary division of the Occident and the Orient, stereotyping peoples and places, gender issues and exile. | |
