授業概要	For the Fall semester the course is subtitled 'An Introduction to Postcolonial Caribbean Literature.' This course aims to introduce students to one of postcolonial Caribbean literature’s most important novels, Jamaica Kincaid’s Annie John, as well as key issues in Caribbean literature, history, culture, and identity in essays by Caribbean writers.
授業のねらい・到達目標	Students who successfully compete the course will be able to, in English, • recognize how postcolonial literature can blend literary styles and genres • understand the conflicts, themes, and structure of Annie John • discuss critical and interpretive responses to the above • understand how Annie John represents the impact of colonialism on the formation of gender identities • understand how Annie John represents the effects of historical changes on both a community and an individual • understand more generally how postcolonial literature represents these changes • understand how a short story by Kincaid offers a different way seeing mother-daughter relationships under colonialism • understand the struggles Caribbean writers encountered in migration to the colonial ‘center’, England • read fiction and essays with minimal recourse to a dictionary • give a short presentation on content, context, and interpretation • write a thesis-based essay using textual evidence to support claims, and analyze quotations
授業の方法	In the first part of the course, each week we will read and discuss a chapter of Jamaica Kincaid’s novel Annie John. To prepare for each class, in addition to the assigned reading, students will write answers and responses to questions and prompts. Some of these questions will aid in reading comprehension. Other prompts will require students to formulate critical and interpretive responses relating to literary, historical, cultural, and theoretical concerns raised by the reading. Each class’s discussion will therefore focus on students’ preparation: students should be ready to advance their ideas in both structured (i.e. question and answer) and more free-flowing, spontaneous discussions. The second part of the course will feature a short story by Kincaid, and essays by migrant Caribbean writers B. A. Gilroy and James Berry. As with the first part of the class, in addition to the assigned reading, students will write answers and responses to questions and prompts. Again, the preparation will focus on reading comprehension and critical responses, which will form the basis for the following class discussion. In addition to readings and discussions, students will prepare short presentations, and write a final essay. Topics and prompts for these will be given in the ninth week of class.
