This module will explore issues that are shared by the literatures of the different cultures and languages in Southeast Asia. It will discuss these against the backdrop of such historical factors as colonialism, nationalism, and post-colonialism. The module is divided into two parts. In the first part the students prepare readings about common topics in the literatures of Southeast Asia, such as oral transmission and traditions or nationalism and canon forming. In the second part we will read short stories in order to examine how such narratives reflect on certain issues in Southeast Asian nations. As we deal with material from different countries in the region, the stories will be read in English translation. The lectures too will be delivered in English, but the discussions can be in German and students may respond and ask questions in German. This module will introduce the student to modern literary texts that have been produced in the different nation-states that comprise Southeast Asia. It is by no means intended as a comprehensive overview of all the literature from this region. The student is expected to attend and actively participates in the lectures and prepares the required readings to be discussed in class, and is required to write a short essay (5-700 words) about a text from the literary culture s/he is studying or familiar with. The conclusion of this module will be a final written exam with questions in English and German, which may be answered in German or English.
