EDEB 440 Literary Canon

This course provides students with a range of historical developments since the 19th C., given birth the Western literary canon. New nation states have tried to found their national cultures with the help of some chosen works believed to be the core of their literary canon. These works have been the essence of the curricula in public education. Turkey as a latecomer to nation state formation also pursued a similar path with a series of problems which never settled down. This course critically surveys all these histories and develops an awareness about canon formation on both global and national scale. Credit units: 3 ECTS Credit units: 5.
