CNX 118 - Constructing Caribbean Identities
Description
This course focuses on the thought of major francophone Caribbean intellectuals, and the ideas that have influenced their work. Central to our exploration is an understanding of the French Caribbean history and cultural identities. Students will examine theoretical approaches to the colonial and postcolonial contexts in the Caribbean, and will explore the literary and cultural movements of Négritude, Antillanité (Caribbeanness) and Créolité (Creoleness) that have shaped Caribbean identities. The course will also focus on the concept of exile by considering writers of the French Caribbean diaspora. While reflecting on these concepts, students will develop and improve their academic skills: critical reading and thinking, effective writing, respectful dialogue, and information literacy.
