Item Classical and Neo-classical Literature : Greek and Medieval(Université Mouloud Mammeri Tizi-Ouzou, 2024) KHELIFA ArezkiThe semester syllabus below is displayed in a chronological order, starting with Aeschylus and finishing with Aristophanes. The first lecture consists of explaining Aeschylus’s art by referring to his remaining works. His initiative in performative and aesthetic creativity was to be emulated and enriched by Sophocles.

The first chapter delves into multiculturalism in The Buddha of Suburbia. It defines multiculturalism and explains its main concepts, elucidating its core themes such as racism, hybridity, belonging, and integration within British society. The second chapter deals with dystopian literature and science fiction, offering a compelling reflection of humanity’s fear of advancing technology.
