Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The introductory seminar will investigate the relationships between texts and the spaces they inhabit, move through, and yearn for. The individual and shared imaginaries of space can be investigated on all levels of scale and in various textual categories, from travel journals and poetry to drama, short stories, and novels. We will analyze how British and North American writers have made sense of their surroundings in their texts, and how discourses of nature/region/town/city have evolved and influenced the cultural imaginaries of North America. The proseminar will include texts-some in full, some in excerpts-by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Jack London, Sherwood Anderson, Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner, and Jack Hodgins, Lorraine Hansberry's Raisin in the Sun, and poetry ranging from John Donne to Gary Snyder.
