World Literatures: Asia and Europe

Education facts

Code: AJP23Q

The course provides a broad overview of modern and contemporary literature that was produced on the Euro-Asian continent. A number of central works, which in some sense can be classified as world literature, are read in the original or in translation. The study of how these have been interpreted and analysed within different research traditions offers an insight into the wealth of approaches found in the study of literature. In particular, the concept of world literature will be studied in its various meanings as well as the way in which it has been used to discuss Asian and European literature.
