  • Description for SP 17: Students will be introduced to critical texts on the formation of the Tamil as nation in postcolonial Ceylon and Sri Lanka, and the pluralities and internal diversities of the Tamil nation, linguistically, culturally, territorially, ethnically, and in terms of gender and class. The central focus of the course is how ethnic conflict has shaped formations of the Tamil nation, with special attention to the ways in which gender plays a pivotal role in the formulations of the nation. Along with theoretical and scholarly material, students will study primary texts from 20th- and 21st-century Sri Lanka and diasporic locations, as well as other expressive forms of the nation such as poetry, theater pieces, fiction and film.
