- Inhalt
- The accompanying lecture offers a survey of 20th century American literature and culture, the so-called ‚American Century’. Beginning with the idea of future shock articulated by Henry Adams in his early 20th century autobiography and W.E.B DuBois' perceptively projected "problem of the color line," the lecture will introduce significant selections from the enormously diverse body of 20th century American writing from its modernist beginnings, via postmodernism and neorealism to the recent turn of the century. Through the lens of literary texts and other cultural products, we will study reflections on the US becoming a modern, hegemonic, and an increasingly fractured nation.
The Übung will provide the opportunity to read and discuss most of the literary texts covered in the lecture.
All materials will be available on StudOn at the beginning of the semester.
