Ashford ENG317 Week 4 Discussion 2

Analyzing a Literary Work in Relation to Sociopolitical Contexts and Movements. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Each of this week’s readings, and many of those from other weeks, may be connected to a contemporary aesthetic and/or political movement that is best understood in light of specific social, political, and historical circumstances. Discuss one of this week’s readings (or another week’s required readings) in relation to the movement with which it is associated (e.g., the Iranian women’s movement and Iranian intellectual movements, the Hausa Literary Movement of West Africa, the Chicano Movement of Mexican-Americans, or the Latina Movement of women Latin American descent). Address how the work reflects the sociocultural conditions it represents, as well as how the work demonstrates, or differs from, the characteristics commonly associated with the respective aesthetic movement. (If the chosen work does not seem in keeping with the ideas, principles, or qualities generally associated with the movement, it should be noted and its significance described and analyzed.)

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
