ENGL - 342. Contemporary British Culture

3 credit(s)
This course examines British culture from the postmodern and contemporary era. By drawing on historic, political, and aesthetic concerns, this class may consider multiple genres of literature, but also emphasize how other arts shape what it means to have a British identity. Film, visual arts, popular music, and other cultural productions may be studied as primary or secondary sources in order to bolster a broader sense of how to understand the role of Britishness in the contemporary world. Readings will be taken from a variety of backgrounds and may include authors from the United Kingdom or Anglophone writers who reflect on the sordid legacy of the British Empire.
