This course is designed to introduce students to different imaginations and conceptualizations of the transpacific region. Students will scrutinize the method and rhetoric applied in different twentieth and twenty-first centuries literary works, and study them in relation to the historical context of transpacific regional perceptions and interests. We will focus on various literary genres that cover differing socio-cultural and geopolitical conceptualizations of transpacific identity and policy-making in the framework of the relations between the United States and other countries of the region.
