Vorl.-Nr. 050 642) This course addresses transatlantic relations in post-revolutionary literature, with a particular emphasis on British self-positioning vis à vis America. Beginning with the British reaction to the revolution in Burke and Paine, it examines how literary and cultural identities are formed in contradistinction, as well as the fragility of such national distinctions amidst free literary and linguistic commerce. Hence it looks at Anglophile Americans, such as Henry James, sometime Americanophiles, like Dickens and Lawrence, and writers, like Paine, who occupy an uncertain midatlantic ground. Assessment/requirements: Übung: active participation and extended exposition; <strong>Seminar</strong>: active participation, shorter in-class exposition and term paper (wissenschaftliche Hausarbeit).

050 655 Müller, M. The African American Detective, 3 CP 2 st. di 8-10 GABF 04/613 Süd Over the last fifty or sixty years, detective fiction has emerged as a literary field worthy of academic attention and, more recently, ethnic detective novels have become an accepted subgenre of detective fiction. Global/ethnic detective novels address issues of personal and social identity that point out the importance of the ethnic community for the individual detective, and often also focus on gender by featuring a female detective. In this class we will investigate - with the help of secondary literature on detection theory - how ethnicity and detection are intertwined in African American detective novels and how ethnic/gender identity is constituted in these novels. Please buy your own copies of Rudolph Fisher’s The Conjure Man Dies, Chester Himes’s Cotton Comes to Harlem and Pamela Thomas Graham’s Orange Crushed: An Ivy League Mystery. Additional primary and secondary texts will be made available on Moodle. Assessment/requirements: attendance and active participation, presentation, written assignment(s). 050 656 Kindinger/Steinhoff Writing Women and Women’s Writing in the Late Nineteenth Century, 3 CP 2 st. mi 10-12 GB 03/46 The late nineteenth century in American culture and society is understood as a time of great upheaval. Due to changes in the political, economic, social and domestic spheres, after the Civil War and at the dawn of the twentieth century, new power structures were negotiated. In this class, students will be introduced to literary and cultural debates about gender in late nineteenth-century writing by women and about women. Questions we will raise include: How was womanhood constructed? Were women confined to the domestic sphere only? And how did representations of gender intersect with race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality? We will address different ideals of womanhood as created for instance in cookbooks, advice books, and women’s magazines. Next to that, we will be reading texts by Louisa May Alcott, Alice Dunbar Nelson, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Edith Wharton, and Kate Chopin.
