What makes us who we are? At the same time, cultures are constantly exchanging information and goods, affecting and shaping each other. In this course, we will look at how both individual and cultural memory are shaped and exchanged as individuals cross cultural, geographical, and linguistic borders. We will look at memory from both a scientific and a literary perspective. By reading fiction, memoir, autobiography, and history, we will also try to understand how identity is translated across culture. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
