Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Course Description
With Aboriginal, French, and English traditions dominating at the outset, Canada has been an ethnically and culturally diverse region since colonial times. It now is a classical immigration country which officially supports ethnic variety and thus allows for ever-new facets to be added to the multicultural mosaic. This series of lectures will give an overview of Canadian literature from its beginnings to the 21st century, all the while considering political and social developments that influenced artistic expression and helped to position Canadian writing at the intersections of colonial, national, and global forces.
