African Freedoms and The Novel
In Africa, the ideal of freedom has the capacity to evoke multiple layers of struggle and aspiration: from state decolonisation and the end of official racial segregation, to gendered, national, economic and spiritual freedoms. Historically, the novel has been a key cultural mechanism via which African freedoms were imagined and fought for. This module scrutinises ways in which canonical African novels in English have helped to engender the continent's imaginaries of freedom. The module asks you to pay particular attention to the political and social implications of novelistic form: classroom discussions will focus on how (i) character construction and character systems; (ii) genre; (iii) style; and (iv) the interface between narration and focalisation have participated in forging new and emancipatory understandings of what 'freedom' might entail. -

After the Holocaust: Jews and Others after 1945
This module examines aspects of Jewish experience in the aftermath of the Holocaust. It explores refugee experiences in the aftermath of war; it explores Jewish debates over post-Holocaust futures, in Europe, in Israel, elsewhere; it examines attempts to re-establish Jewish communities in areas where they had been destroyed; it examines dialogues between Jews and others in the post-war world, and the presence of the Holocaust in those. Its emphasis is on the ways in which the suffering of the Holocaust did not simply end with the moment of liberation. Rather, it explores how, from the initial struggles in Displaced Persons camps and other sites of liberation through emigration, the rebuilding of shattered lives, conflicts over restitution and (in cases) renewed experiences of antisemitism and persecution the lives of Jews and their interlocutors remained shaped by the events of the Holocaust for decades after. -
