Description
This course explores both the concept and context of exile in the contemporary world from the perspective of those who experience it, create cultural artefacts about those experiences, and contribute to transformations--small and large--of the communities and cultures that shape their identity in exile. The course analyzes how race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, age, ability, citizenship, nationality, or ethnicity may frame an experience of exile in specific ways. While the course draws on social science analyses of exile, home, belonging, diaspora, transnationalism, and so forth, special emphasis will be given to narratives created by exiles themselves that explore these concepts. Formerly IDCE 383. Students who have already passed IDCE 383 cannot receive credit for SSJ 383 and should not take this course.
