230360 Prison Narratives (S) (WiSe 2025/2026)

Contents, comment

This seminar will familiarize students with a selection of narratives by (formerly) imprisoned writers and the concept of confinement as a focal point in literature and culture where history and politics are reflected and race, class, and gender intersect. Using text-centered and contextual approaches, students will explore the language, form, and style of prison narratives as well as engage critically with key concerns surrounding the history of incarceration.
