- Inhalt
- The lecture covers the historically variable concept of literary studies in the US from the early 19th century to the present. Tracing the changes in the values and functions of literary analysis, the blecture presents the practice of reading literature as an ongoing intellectual debate and provides students with an understanding of its history and the rhetorical gestures it employs. In order to allow students to actively learn "the language of the game" and to help them engage in intellectual debate at an advanced level, the lecture is supplemented by an Übung in which assumptions and implications of individual texts from the history of North American poetics and literary studies are discussed. Beginning with American poetics from the Early Republic through the Post-Civil War Era, the lecture also covers Modern American Criticism (e.g. the the rise of New Criticism and early African American Criticism), the Post World War II Era (e.g. the emergence of the field of American Studies) and more contemporary developments since the 1970s (e.g. the advent of theory and the canon debates).
The module closes with a 20 minute oral exam.
