COURSE DESCRIPTION:

With the advent of colonialism, non-European traditional societies were disrupted. Cultural knowledges and traditional educational practices were swept away and replaced by other forms of cultural practices. This course revisits history to celebrate the vast array of cultural diversity in the world. The course interrogates how various media have taken up these knowledges and presented them to the world in the form of texts, films, and educational practices. It also examines how colonial education sustained/s the process of cultural knowledge fragmentation. The examination of cultural knowledge portrayal serves to deepen insights and to develop intellectual skills to cultivate a greater understanding of the dynamics generated through representations and the role of colonial education played/s to sustain and delineate particular cultural knowledges. We will also explore the various forms of resistance encountered in the process of fragmentation. This course will draw from literature, history, sociology, and other forms of cultural expressions such as films and critical theories on race, gender, sexuality and class.
