Introduction: This course focuses on the problems of interpretation encountered in the first world classroom when reading novels and poetry from the so called third world, in this case Africa, India, and the Middle East. We shall work from two premises:

• a) The artifacts of any given culture are embedded in their local context – social and political history, traditions, aesthetics, etc. – and thus are not transparent in their meaning or significance.
• b) Secondly, we cannot recognize the humanity of the « other » – the culturally strange, the foreign, the alien – without examining ourselves and how we impose meaning on the incomprehensible.

We shall try to come to terms with these two factors by:

• a) researching as much as we can of the local context – we shall use films and music to supplement our quest;
• b) by performing the texts we shall we be reading in class as a means of reflecting about cultural gaps;
• c) maintaining a consciousness journal.
