ENG 367 NOVEL COMMODITIES

An exploration of contemporary literature about "things," with a focus on India and the United States. How does literature represent our relations to things - as producers, consumers, collectors, discarders, recyclers? How do things and people circulate in a globalized economy, and what would be an ethical ecology of things? Authors may include Arundhati Roy, Amitav Ghosh, Kiran Desai, and Katherine Boo.
