| 授業概要 Course Description |
"Global Writing" are influential texts that are read by people around the world, bridging different cultures and languages. The older term "World Literature" includes some of the writers that we will cover, but "Global Writing" is a broader concept. This course will examine the key role of writers, translators, editors, and readers, looking at many key issues involving language and cultural identity. We will also critically examine the process of selection of the Nobel Prize in Literature (abbreviated NPL below).
|
| 到達目標 Class Goals |
To understand better the role of writing in a rapidly globalizing world. To read and discuss examples of fictional and non-fictional writing that is of transcultural or transnational importance. To learn to do case-study research and to present your findings orally and in writing.

Content/Topic

Introduction to the course. What is "global writing"? We will some older examples of writers originating from eastern Europe who moved to English-speaking countries and wrote their most influential work in English. Why did this happen? What effect did it have. Is it as common today for writers to leave their native country and settle abroad? Do they tend to continue to publish in their native language or in another language? Consider the following cases:
CASE STUDY 1: Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977); Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008; NPL in 1970); Svetlana Alexievich (b. 1948 in Belarus, went into exile, now living Ukraine but publishing in Russian, NPL in 2015).

CASE STUDY 5: Tawada Yōko 多和田葉子 (b. 1960 in Tokyo, moved to Germany in the early 1980s, publishes fictional and non-fictional works both in German and Japanese). We will also discuss examples of Japanese writers fluent in a foreign language who have chosen to publish fiction and non-fiction in Japanese like Murakami Haruki (b. 1949) or Mizumura Minae (b. 1951). Perhaps the most famous example of a native English speaker who chose to publish key works in another language is Samuel Beckett (1906-1989, born in Dublin, Ireland, died in France; NPL in 1967)
