Transnational Literatures, Spring 2020

This paper was for my Transnational European Studies minor capstone course, Transnational Literatures, in which I was allowed to focus on any specific aspect of my assigned book that I wanted. I really was interested to talk about the linguistic markings of Erpenbeck’s novel, Go Went Gone, as it was a book about intercultural relations and the role of language learning in the immigration experience. This paper was definitely the most strict that I have ever been about using a specific lens to interpret a text, and it was a really a good exercise in cross-discipline analysis.
