Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. The political situation that emerged after the Second World War is often represented as a conflict between two superpowers – but how was the Cold War viewed from the global South? In this seminar, we will read scholarly and novelistic responses to this question. What happens when we draw forward the perspectives of those whose role in the cold war is often presented as minor, marginal or passive? We will try to reconsider the relationship between the cold war and the postcolonial, with a particular focus on perspectives from India and South Africa. Students should have access to Nadine Gordimer’s July’s People, and I. Allan Sealy’s The Brainfever Bird and begin reading them as soon as possible. Other readings will be provided.
Leistungsnachweis	All students are expected to attend class regularly and well-prepared, to offer one presentation and a 2-page discussion handout based on a prescribed reading for one class. Testat: Response paper (1000 words).
