Course Description
This course is taught in the second year for students from different streams, namely BA, BSc
and BCom. If the first year syllabus is an attempt by the Department of English, Christ
University to recognize and bring together the polyphonic Indian voices in English and Indian
regional literatures in translation for the Additional English students of the first year, the
second year syllabus intends to take that project a little further and open up the engagement
of the students to texts from across the world. The syllabus - selection of texts will
concentrate on readings from South Asian, Latin American, Australian, Canadian, and Afro-
American. It will voice subaltern concerns of identity, gender, race, ethnicity and problems of
belongingness experienced by humanity all over the globe.
The syllabus will extend the concerns of nation and nationality and marginalization,
discussed within the Indian context to a more inclusive and wider global platform. We have
consciously kept out ‘mainstream’ writers and concentrated on the voices of the subalterns
from across the world. There is an implicit recognition in this project that though the aspects
of marginalization and the problems facing subalterns are present across cultures and
nations, the experiences, expressions and reflections are specific to each race and culture.
The course will address these nuances and specificities and enable our students to become
more aware and sensitive to life and reality around them. This will equip the students, who
are global citizens, to understand not just the Indian scenario, but also situate themselves
within the wider global contexts and understand the spaces they will move into and negotiate
in their future.
There is a prescribed text book Blends: Voices from Margins for the second year students,
compiled by the Department of English, Christ University and intended for private circulation. Course Objectives
The course objectives are
to enable students to look at different cultures through Literature
to help students develop an understanding of subaltern realities and identity politics
to inculcate literary sensibility/taste among students across disciplines
to improve language skills –speaking, reading, writing and listening
to equip the students with tools for developing lateral thinking
to equip students with critical reading and thinking habits
to reiterate the study skills and communication skills they developed in the previous
year and extend it. |

General Description: This paper will re-visit the two popular Indian epics – the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The Mahabharata and the Ramayana are not mere literary texts in India; no Indian reader reads them for the first time. As Prof Anantamurthy points out they function as languages and prompt new narratives in literary traditions. The paper intends to read the critical discussions and creative re-presentations of the epics – The Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The essays will probe the posited meanings in the tellings of the epics. The other two modules will look at the creative interpretations, re-presentations of certain episodes, marginal characters from the epics. As we read, discuss the re-visited tellings of the epics, we would need a specific telling to refer to. C Rajagopalachari’s telling of the Mahabharata, The Epic and The Ramayana can be considered as a reference point. Pertinent episodes can be read or discussed in class or if time permits the entire narrative can be read/discussed in class.
