"Speaking, Writing, Desiring: Women in African and Black Diasporic Literature"
Starting from the pioneering voice of the first woman writer in colonial nineteenth-century South Africa, we will follow a route that connects the stories and predicaments of women in Africa to the Black Atlantic of the slave trade and of contemporary migrations.
Inputs from postcolonial critical theory and women and gender studies will provide a theoretical-methodological frame of reference for the reading of selected literary texts.
