Course Overview

Our MA Migration Literatures and Cultures provides you with an advanced introduction to the literary-cultural significance of migration. As well as being a global geopolitical phenomenon, migration is a creative process of 'world-making' that has prompted writers, filmmakers, and artists to draw on the cross-cultural currents generated by movement across borders. You will explore these processes with leading academics and practitioners in the field of migrant arts and transnational cultures. The course examines contemporary literary and cultural production not as a stable national output, but as part of a dynamic transnational context. You will explore how media, texts, and cultural objects are produced and circulate across both real and imagined borders. You will engage with debates about how literature and culture, and their attendant theories, practices, and methodologies, have become transnational in scope, focusing on key concepts such as world literature and comparative studies, globalization, migration and diaspora, adaptation, translation, postcoloniality, digital cultures, climate crisis, and networked worlds.
