0626.2014  ספרות פוסט-קולוניאלית Postcolonial Literature
גב' יעל מאורר Yael Maurerק"מ
This course aims to examine a selection of texts which have come to be known as “post- colonial”. This (problematic) term includes the works of writers under colonial rule, second generation immigrants and authors belonging to the colonizer class.
Writers of diverse ethnic groups, genders and socio\political affiliations figure under this umbrella term.

In the course of the semester, we will thus explore the “postcolonial condition”. This condition is shared by the colonizer and the colonized, the immigrant and the native of the colonizing country, the center and the margins. In this spirit, we’ll discuss the works of authors like George Orwell, Hanif Kureishi, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and others. We will also look at the theoretical background in an attempt to understand the controversy surrounding the term post-colonialism. How does this theoretical engagement influence our conceptions of gender , social and economic issues and culture ? To what extent do these dissenting voices alter our perceptions of the binary oppositions which make up our world view?
