Kommentar/Beschreibung

Important: This class will take place as a block seminar later in the semester and not weekly as originally scheduled.
Course Description:
This course investigates the intersections of postcolonial ecologies, poetry, and streaming cultures, with a focus on South Asia. Through selected postcolonial poetry by South Asian authors (such as Agha Shahid Ali, Arundhathi Subramaniam, Keki Daruwallaa and Ranjit Hoskote) alongside films and documentaries streaming on Netflix such as (The White Tiger and The Elephant Whisperers), students will explore the ecological narrativization of water and wildlife across media. The course is guided by two central questions: What are the distinct and overlapping strategies through which literature and streaming cultures narrate water and wildlife to engage with the debates on the Anthropocene? How do ecological meanings seep across forms, from page to screen, and what narrativizing and representative politics emerge through these intermedial circulations? By combining theoretical discussions, close reading exercises, and film clip viewings and analysis, the course foregrounds the cultural politics of ecological storytelling and environmental justice in postcolonial South Asia. Please note that the course will be conducted through a combination of online and offline block sessions.
