4 hours Olga Tokarczuk: Texts&Contexts "Olga Tokarczuk: Texts and Contexts. Art, Activism, and the Transnational Landscapes of Polish Literature" In this class we will get to know one of Poland's most world-renowned contemporary authors, Olga Tokarczuk, recipient of the 2018 Nobel Prize for Literature. Tokarczuk has challenged and charmed her readers with brave works in a range of genres and styles, from the magical realist "Primeval and Other Times" to the eco-crime novel "Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead;" from her constellation novel "Flights" to the bestselling historical epic, newly translated into English, "The Books of Jacob". Studying Tokarczuk's works, we consider social, political and artistic debates that are defining Poland and the EU today, as well as cultural, literary and philosophical influences that inspired Tokarczuk and with which her works are in conversation. In light of the outbreak of war in Ukraine in March 2022, our study of contexts will include reading the work of several contemporary Ukrainian authors and poets, who, much like Tokarczuk, use their writings to explore what it means for a national literature (Ukrainian or Polish) to emerge as a multicultural and multilingual space of encounter. Taught in English, with the option to read in the Polish or Yiddish original. Course Information: 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. May be repeated to a maximum of 9 hours for undergraduates, or 12 hours for graduate students, if topics vary. Only 6 hours may be applied toward the undergraduate major in Polish. Taught in English. Polish majors will be required to complete some assignments in Polish. Prerequisite(s): Credit or concurrent registration in CEES 224 or Credit or concurrent registration in CEES 225; or consent of the instructor. Restricted to Graduate - Chicago or Graduate Non-Degree Chicago.
