A study of the mutations that tragedy has undergone from its origins as a theatrical form in ancient Greece to its contemporary manifestations around the world in drama, fiction and film. Western readers have encountered the literatures of East and South Asia, and Asian readers have encountered Western literature, in a variety of political and cultural contexts, including: colonial expansion, spiritual inquiry, modernisation, warfare, migration, and globalisation. A selection of works from East and West, which have played a key role in these encounters, especially in the modern period, will be studied.

Literary translation has come to be theorised as a dynamic and problematic process, central to comparative literature and shedding light on cross-cultural encounter, and colonisation and the post-colonial. Alongside such theoretical considerations students will undertake a practical translation project between languages in which they have expertise.

Narrative and metaphor are used in the theory and practice of disciplines as diverse as: law and literature, medicine and management studies, psychology and philosophy. To what extent are practitioners empowered or trapped by the metaphors and narrative patterns characteristic of each discipline? What are the implications of shifting metaphor or narrative?
