A quick google search of “transnational literature classes” yields many examples of what Jay is talking about (and courses that sound a lot like ours):
University of Chicago’s transnational American literature course
the multicultural and transnational concentration at East Carolina University
World Literature I at a Virginia Community College
etc
etc
And of course our class described in the Eng department like this:
“This course presents a global approach to literature by introducing a variety of narrative, lyric, and dramatic forms representative of different cultures and historical periods, from ancient times through the sixteenth century.”
How does all of this relate to what Paul Jay is talking about?
