Cíle předmětu

This course explores various ethnic minority and multicultural narratives that in one or another way deal with cultural identities. On the one hand, the selected texts will be analyzed from the perspective of how they present the relationship between minority/immigrant and mainstream cultures. On the other hand, we will also explore the ways in which these narratives shape the national identities of Anglophone Canada and the USA. In addition, the issues of language, bilingualism, writing in English about non-English cultural backgrounds, as well as the effects these narratives have on non-English readers, will be of our interest in individual sessions. Both thematic and formal narrative strategies will be examined to demonstrate the diversity and richness of contemporary North American cross-cultural narratives.

Výstupy z učení

Students will be able to critically analyze and appreciate various ethnic minority and multicultural narratives produced in the USA and Anglophone Canada. They will also gain an insight into the issues of language, bilingualism, writing in English about non-English cultural backgrounds, as well as the effects these narratives have on non-English readers.
