Tuesdays 9:10-10:40

Instructor: Colin S Clark MA

This course seeks to introduce students to what is arguably the dominant genre of modern literature-the speculative. This literature explores the boundaries of the possible and provides solutions, from the pragmatic to the fantastic to the various stress- fractures and impasses of the modern Scottish nation-stateless, imagined and yet culturally robust and politically virile.

The texts taught here are as contemporary as possible and range across political, fantastic, sci-fi and slipstream literatures to equip the student with a coherent overview of the modern ‘question of Scotland ‘ and it’s ‘claim of right’.
