[litv] VL Cultural Diversity and the Transformation of North American Literature (Nordamerikanische Literaturen und Kulturen/ Transkulturelle Englischsprachige Kulturen) - Einzelansicht

This lecture course attempts to capture the rich cultural diversity of U.S. American and Canadian writings since WW II. Reading a variety of genres, we will examine works by authors from various geographical regions and ethnic backgrounds. We will place the discussion of literary texts in specific historical and cultural contexts through units that focus on the experiences of North America’s diverse groups, including African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino/as, and Native Americans as well as Americans of European descent (in particular Irish Americans). Our readings will also explore cultural difference in contemporary Canadian literature.
