TEACHING & THEORIZING NATIVE AMERICAN LITERATURE AS WORLD LITERATURE
AN INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
October 1-2 2018
Facultat de Filologia, Traducción I Comunicació – Universitat de València
|
This symposium aims to be a space of exchange for strategies, methodologies, resources, and reflections regarding the teaching and theorizing of Native American Literature as World Literature. We hope to examine theories, teaching practices, and pedagogical methods that are deployed when Native American literature is engaged in today’s classroom. The challenging role of teachers and theorists as potential intermediaries and responsible disseminators of “transnational literacy” (Spivak 1992) as well as the reception of Native American works by international readers will be a primary focus of attention: How can non-Native readers effectively understand Native American texts in a context of global relations and diverse literary paradigms that attend to and respect local specificities? We also welcome contributions that engage specific Native American texts in a world context from a theoretical and/or comparative perspective. |
