COLT 1421T - Mediterranean Fictions
Sun-drenched, seductive, and bewildering, the Mediterranean has always been a focal point of contact, interaction, and conflict. And more than that: a cradle of civilizations; a timeless repository of memories and aspirations; a porous, protean world; a sea of many horizons, histories, and identities. We will embark on an intensive exploration of some of the basic aspects of Mediterranean culture by means of discussing a wide range of texts on Greece, Turkey, Italy, France, Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria. Writers include Seferis, Kazantzakis, Papadiamantis, Galanaki, Camus, Gide, Pirandello, Lampedusa, and Pamuk. All readings in English translation.
