Cultural, linguistic, and political encounter: diaspora, colonialism, translation, cultural interchange. Gender and sexuality: cultural varieties of gender expression and erotic experience. Literature and colonialism, including postcolonialism and neocolonialism: historical and cultural theories of domination, resistance, and violence.
