Building a Bridge between Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature

摘要

The modern life of the 21st century world not only postulates a multicultural, global world that is devoid of strict borders, but also a global world in which the individuals experience similar forms of lives. In relation, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman(1949) and Edward Albee's.The comparative analysis of the two texts enables students to build knowledge on cultural studies, ‘The American Dream,’ historical and psychological analysis, therefore creating awareness among the students via comparative activities that build a symbolic bridge between cultural studies and the classroom.
