230500 Unspeakable Things: Experiencing Gender and Race in Literature (S) (WiSe 2022/2023)
Contents, comment
-
This seminar is interested in the ways in which literary and autobiographical texts provide a space for voicing, representing and imagining gendered, racialized and classed experiences. We will examine the role of genre conventions, narrative situations, the role of experience and social context and how they frame the readers' expectations, and, thus, the possible effects and meanings of the texts.
We will focus on a variety of texts – novels, autobiographies, autoethnographical text, autosciobiographies, testimonies – from different contexts and by differently positioned authors (e.g. Harriet Jacobs, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Domitilia Barrios, Annie Erneaux, J.D Vance) as well as some filmic adaptions. The seminar will also include theoretical approaches on representations of gender, race and class and on ways to analyze these dimension (e.g. Stuart Hall, Joan Scott, Toni Morrison). The seminar aims at providing students with key terms and current approaches to literary and life writing texts from a critical race and gender perspective.
