Course Objectives/Course Description
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.
Learning Outcome
CO1: it will enable students to understand and analyse the nuances of cultures, ethnicities and other diversity around them and become sensitive towards them. CO2 : They will be able to critique literature from a cultural, ethical, social and political perspectives

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:45	No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:100	Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
This course is taught in the second year for students from different streams, namely BA, BSc and B Com. 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. The course objectives are · to introduce the 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 enable them to grasp and appreciate the variety and abundance of subaltern writing, of which this compilation is just a glimpse · to actively engage with the world as a cultural and social space (to be facilitated through proactive CIAs which help students to interact and engage with the realities they face everyday and have come across in these texts) · to learn and appreciate India and its place in the world through association of ideas in the texts and the external contexts · to reiterate the study skills and communication skills they developed in the previous year and extend it.
Learning Outcome
CO1 : CO1: To understand the socio- political concerns in various literatures through short stories, poems and essays CO2: CO2: To critically read and articulate the non- canonised literatures CO3: CO3: To analyse and apply these textual themes in a multi- cultural, global and professional space

Evaluation Pattern

Since CIA I insists on individual testing, there could be three ways of testing the students

A class test based on the text
A movie review
A book review

For CIA III, the students can be asked

To prepare group presentations on topics relevant to postcolonial literature
To put up an exhibition/display of the literature/paintings/other art productions of the formerly colonized countries.

These are a few ideas, however, during the course of teaching, there could be other suggestions, and CIA’s could be slightly modified.

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.
