Deion of the Course

This course is designed to study critical concepts and the diversity of experience reflected in modern and contemporary short stories. It introduces students to close readings of short stories representing a variety of time periods and nationalities and aims to motivate students for indulging in reading, discussion, and written analysis in order to develop skills in literary analysis, interpretation and familiarity with the conventions of the genre. Short stories play a significant role in exposing societal realities crisply and engagingly and an integral part of this course is to study how our society finds its essence and values through this genre. It includes writings from Indian, African American, American, Australian, Israeli, Japanese, British, Indonesian, South Asian, and other artistic, literary and cultural traditions. It is a representative list of modern writings (mostly post-World War II) which reflect on the complexities of life, powerfully as well as with an immense sense of humour. There is a wealth of short stories from across the world often capturing the oral, the episodic, and the momentary truths of vernacular lives. The course is designed to give a glimpse of the multicultural and the multilingual reality we live in, which exist distinctly but are interconnected and overlapping at multiple levels. The course intends to affirm and reaffirm humans urge to tell and hear stories.

Objectives of the Course

One of the chief components of this course is to look at short fiction as a specific category in literature with its own unique characteristics. The course proposes an in-depth analysis of twelve stories to study the form while delving into various themes contextualized in time, locale and history as well as the biographical and psychic trajectory of the author. The stories are selected keeping in mind the need to broaden the perspective of the readers. For this purpose, each story belongs to a different subgenre and represents different modes of writing. As the writers belong to different countries, hence the present collection almost serves as a window to the literature of various countries. The selected stories represent a few specific subgenres, such as feminist writing, lyrical writing, partition narrative, magic realism, folklores, myth and legend, cli-fi writings, writings in translation, among several other forms of writings.

Course Outcomes

The students will be able to formulate an interpretive thesis (as opposed to one which merely reports something factual about a literary text).
The students will be competent enough to compose an essay which either analyzes a literary text, for example by focusing on literary elements such as theme, character, setting, point of view, plot, imagery, metaphor, symbolism, etc., or analyzes the characteristic themes, features, and/or techniques of a given writer's works, or analyzes more than one literary text by comparing and contrasting works by more than one short story writer.
The students will be enabled to identify a range of key terms that are essential to an introductory level understanding of literature, particularly the short story.
The students will be able to explain the ways in which the short story provides a literary experience which is both similar to and different from that of the novel.
By the end of the course the students will have gained direct acquaintance with some representative 20th and 21st century writers. The course will also equip the students with techniques of textual analysis, and the strategies required in using literary texts to comprehend broader cultural, social and political issues.

General Course Requirements and Recommendations

Students will read twelve short stories that come from a variety of nationalities, cultures or perspectives, and represent various stages and notable achievements in the historical development of the genre.
Students will regularly engage in thoughtful discussions of the assigned readings.
Students will study (through assigned readings and/or classroom or online discussion) the cultural contexts from which the literature emerges.
Students will study concepts that are essential to an understanding of the short story as a genre.
