ENGL 23004 - Literature of the Cold War

Course Credit: 1
(CMLT, FILM)
This course explores various English-language texts (including fiction, poetry, film, and drama) produced within the Cold War period and the ways in which the historical concerns of the era were represented in these texts. Special attention will be paid to the concept of “the other,” examining its function as a dramatic device as well as the numerous metaphorical representations of such a perception of dualities in conflict: east vs. west, left vs. right, patriot vs. subversive, hawk vs. dove, eagle vs. bear, and so on.
