Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Pakistan was carved out of India in 1947 and in that way Pakistani literature should be treated as a tributary to Indian. But, did Pakistani literature written in at least 9 major languages in the country succeed, over the years, in evolving its distinct identity? If so, what are the main contours of this literature? What moments in the socio-political history of the country did contribute to provide impulses to it and what ways and means successive governments in Pakistan have been employing to streamline and control it? With these and other relevant questions the course is designed to provide a trajectory of Pakistani literature written in five major languages, that is, Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi, and English in their history and across their thematic spectrum.
The following topics, among others, will be under focus:
• Iqbal – The Poet-Ideologue
• The Question of Pakistani Culture and Debates of Pakistani Literature
• State and Literature: Of Patronage and Streamlining
• Debates of Islamic Literature vs. Secular Trends
• Literature and Political Resistance: Pakistani Literature and/under Martial Law Regimes.
• Literature by Pakistani Women: From Social Conformism to Political Empowerment
• Creation of Bangladesh: Literary Responses from Pakistan.
• Pakistani Literature in Diaspora
• 9/11 – Responses from Pakistani Literature
In addition to that introductions to/ special studies of 5 major Pakistani writers will be made.
