Inhalt:
The lecture provides a survey of cultural and literary history
and covers North American culture and literature from its
beginnings to the present, i.e. from Puritanism to
Postmodernity. The topics of the lecture alternate; either one
may be attended: One spans the period from the early 17th
century (first settlements, Puritanism) to the Reconstruction
after the American Civil War and discusses early North
American writing, as well as Romanticism and early Realism;
the other covers the most important developments in the
cultural history of the late 19th, 20th, and 21st century (including
both World Wars, Cold War, protest movements etc.), as well
as the literary periods of Realism, Naturalism, Modernism, and
Postmodernism. The lecture may also cover literary and
cultural developments in Canada and the Anglophone
Caribbean. Independent Study accompanies the lecture and adds a
substantial and intensive supplementary course of reading.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
Students develop a systematic and comprehensive
understanding in cultural and literary history and familiarize
themselves with important developments in culture, literature,
and criticism by expanding their canon. The module enables
them to categorize and contextualize literary texts and cultural
phenomena and to actively interconnect knowledge and
competences acquired so far.
Literatur:
A reading list will be provided.
