Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Indians, Amerindians, Native Americans, First Nations ... a number of terms have been used to describe the indigenous peoples, bands, tribes of the Americas. In this course we will deal with the concept of native identity/identities as it is presented and contested in contemporary US-American and Canadian texts (legal, journalistic, and literary). Two novels will be analyzed in detail: N. Scott Momadays groundbreaking House Made of Dawn and Maria Campbells autobiographical description of métissage, Halfbreed (both available at Kuppitsch on campus). We will also consider Cultural Studies approaches to discuss the formation, and deformation, of ethnic, racial, cultural, social and individual identity/identities.
