- Inhalt
- In this seminar we will research various aspects of commodity and consumer culture in British literature and culture.
Considering the changes consumer society underwent during the nineteenth century we will study (colonial) commodities, their consumption,
and the effects on subjects and bodies as well as the activity of shopping and its functions in (social and individual) identity formations.
Further, we will examine (excessive) consumers and investigate ideologies of consumerism in (dystopian) literary representations of (post)modern societies.
Our material will include advertisements and other visual material as well as various literary and non-literary texts. In our analysis we will refer to concepts
such as identity, (imagined) community, power, ideology, and desire, and we follow approaches from gender as well as postcolonial studies. Our reading will include
Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s Lady Audley’s Secret (1862), Sophie Kinsella’s Confessions of a Shopaholic (2000), J.G. Ballard’s Kingdom Come (2006),
as well as excerpts from other shorter texts.
Due to the pandemic this course will take place online. Please prepare the reading in advance.
