The MA programme explores colonial and postcolonial discourses and the most significant strands of postcolonial theory. You study the role that culture plays in anti-colonial struggles and the role of the postcolonial intellectual in the contemporary world, as well as interactions between the Anglophone, Francophone, Hispanic, and Lusophone spheres of postcolonial cultures. Areas for consideration include representative works of literature and such topics as language, identity, gender, and nationhood. During the spring term, spent in Paris, you develop your studies to include the cultural production of exiles, with particular focus on the role of Paris as a place of refuge and as a focus for multicultural encounters and creativity.
