The Bachelor of Arts Degree in World Literature focuses on writing from around the world - whether this is in the form of novels, essays, poetry, or prose, and whether the writing is traditional or experimental. The texts of world literature are those that have circulated outside their culture of origin, gaining new meanings and new relevance in other languages, nations, and traditions. You will study historical, cultural, and theoretical approaches to literature in translation. The study of world literature raises questions about cross-cultural understanding, the practice of translation as a creative and cultural enterprise, literature's role in history and society, and the nature of literature itself. You'll have the opportunity to participate in an international exchange and/or fields schools.
