Description
This subject focuses on the power of literature to grow empathy and to increase our understanding of different conceptions of human life. You will explore key texts which, although created in specific cultural and geographical locations for a local audience, have transcended those boundaries. These texts are being read in the global village, in multiple languages, in times different from their authorship. The investigation of these texts will give you an opportunity to understand the value of learning the myriad ways with which the human experience is depicted in literature. Furthermore, analysing how literary features, such as translation, impact our understanding of the world described in these stories, will enhance your capabilities as global citizens. The subject aims to develop a greater awareness of how studying world literature can create new, more responsible understandings of humanity.
