Anticipating the results of the EU referendum in June 2016, British poet and Hip Hop artist Kate Tempest published “Europe is Lost,” a dark and desperate critique of contemporary Britain. Since then, Ali Smith, Ian McEwan, Jonathan Coe, and John le Carré have all engaged with Euroscepticism and xenophobia in the UK, the state of the nation and life after Brexit. This lecture introduces students to Brexit literature from a variety of theoretical and methodological angles, linking narrative theory, genre theory, and cultural theory. We will also look at the emergence and circulation of narratives of Europe, discourses of Englishness and the internal divisions affecting the DNA of the UK.
All students will have to read Ian McEwan’s short novel The Cockroach and to write a reading diary, to be submitted by June 8th, 2020. Additional material will be provided on Moodle. Course assignment (2 CP): Take Home Exam.
