Postcolonial Poetry - Einzelansicht

In this course, we will study poetry within a distinctly postcolonial framework. My goal is that we collectively expand the critical repertoire and vocabulary of studying poetry which, among other things, remains very much tied to poetry on paper. We will instead primarily turn to performed poetry as an embodied practice which ties in with different traditions of orality and performance from across the planet.  

The course will be taught online via moodle. Most parts of the course will use asychronous teaching, yet there will be 3-4 sychronous sessions using zoom video conferencing. These sessions will take place Wednesdays, from 10 to 12.

All materials will be provided online, via Moodle.
