Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course will explore the radical interrogation and rewriting of the dominant culture which can be discerned in the literature by contemporary Jewish women writers in Great Britain. The main focus will be on the question of how 'Jewishness' is being constructed in English literature and society, how the concept of 'Englishness' is arrived at in the novels under discussion and which part memory plays in the writing strategies of the authors concerned. Texts by Bernice Rubens, Anita Brookner, Eva Figes, Esther Freud and Diane Samuels will be discussed as well as works by Amy Levy (1861-1889), a writer from the Victorian era.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Regular attendance, participation in class discussions of set texts, oral presentations, final written essay (10 pages).
