Irish poetry and drama, for example, extend over several countries, involving writers with a range of voices and preoccupation; and yet it is often thought that they are distinctively “Irish”. This means that you can have someone who doesn’t come from Ireland, perhaps doesn’t have Irish ancestors but they can write with Irish Literary Tradition because they will draw on the same references, structure, mythology, focal points for cultural meaning and historical movements. What’s In This module will help you classify literary pieces you have read or will be reading into the different regions around the world with regards to the 21st literary traditions. Lesson 1 Notes to the Teacher This self-learning learning module is all about the 21st century literary traditions from across the globe. It provides students with lectures and activities which focus on the traditions of the 21st century literature around the world. 5 What’s New Directions: Look for the conventional literary pieces in the puzzle below. On a separate sheet of paper, answer the questions that follow. A Z H W Q Y D P B D R N S M I T H I N G S F A L L A P A R T B M N T A E M L S T P G Y A F E A D R O L D K A I S U R I C L C H O D H O H B S T O D Z K H B O A M A H A B H A R A T A E E U W Q F E O U O H E Y V Q P T F T L M D R K I D R S A X R H Z S O R I I Z H K W J L E I X P U O E X G F E Q K H A N I B E L U N G E N L I E D E 1. What are the literary pieces have you found in the puzzle? 2. What traditions can be found in each piece of literature? Let’s recall some conventional world literature! Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe - Things Fall Apart tells two overlapping, intertwining stories, both of which center around Okonkwo, a "strong man" of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first story traces Okonkwo’s fall from grace with the tribal world in which he lives. It provides us with a powerful fable about the immemorial conflict between the individual society. The second story, which is as modern as the first is ancient, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo’s world through the arrival of aggressive, proselytizing European missionaries. These twin dramas are perfectly harmonized and they are modulated by an awareness capable of encompassing the life of nature, history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul. Things Fall Apart is the most illuminating and permanent monument we have to the modern African experience as seen from within. Macbeth by William Shakespeare - In the story, Macbeth is a Scottish general under the rule of King Duncan. Three witches tell Macbeth that he will become King of Scotland. Macbeth is spurred by his ambition and his wife, murdering Duncan and acceding to the throne. His reign is bloody and tyrannical and is ended by the combined forces of Scotland and England. The story of Macbeth has been associated with a curse and a superstition that will bring bad luck to the actors who will perform the play. 6 Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - Mahabharata is one of the earliest and the most popular epics of India. It was written in Sanskrit by Vyasa around the 3rd century BCE. It is an essential and foundational text addressing Hindu morality (dharma) and history (itihasa). The Mahabharata is comparable to another ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana, although it is longer and focuses on a different storyline. The plot of the Mahabharata revolves around a struggle for political power between two groups of cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. It is made up of about 100,000 couplets divided into 18 sections, making it the longest epic poem in the world's history. Nibelungenlied (Anonymous) - The poem is split into two parts: in the first part, Siegfried comes to Worms to acquire the hand of the Burgundian princess Kriemhild from her brother King Gunther. Gunther agrees to let Siegfried marry Kriemhild if Siegfried helps Gunther acquire the warrior-queen Brünhild as his wife. Siegfried does this and marries Kriemhild; however Brünhild and Kriemhild become rivals, leading eventually to Siegfried's murder by the Burgundian vassal Hagen with Gunther's involvement. In the second part, the widow Kriemhild is married to Etzel, king of the Huns. She later invites her brother and his court to visit Etzel's kingdom intending to kill Hagen. Her revenge results in the death of all the Burgundians who came to Etzel's court as well as the destruction of Etzel's kingdom and the death of Kriemhild herself. What Is It You have rediscovered the conventional literary pieces from across the world citing its traditions. This part of the module would let you learn modern literary pieces written by 21st century writers. One of the most fascinating and challenging aspects of literature is the vastness of its historic and geographic range. This means that through literary texts, twenty-first century readers like us can have access to the lives and thoughts of those people hundreds of years before us or hundreds of kilometers away from us, and may not even share a language with us. The literary works are what make up the literary tradition. Thus, a literary tradition is the formation of literary conventions, that is, stylistic or formal devices or elements of subject matter which through being repeated in work after work, have become markers of different kinds or genres of literature. Literary tradition is the passing down of stories which give meaning to human experiences according to literary articles. Every linguistic group has a literary tradition, which is transmitted either orally or through writing. 9 Activity 1.3 ESSAY? EASY!!
