230542 Playing in the Backstreet: American Childhood from Civil War to Present (S) (WiSe 2018/2019)
Contents, comment
-
"Playing in the Backstreet: American Childhood from Civil War to Present" introduces American childhood(s) in the period mid-nineteenth century to the present. In the block seminar, we examine the many faces of American childhood through the lens of US history, literature, and culture.
Furthermore, we study the various ways childhood has shaped (and been shaped by) the US culture at large, from pediatrics and politics to parenting and pedagogy.
The block seminar is reading-intensive with in-class activities including film analysis, pair- and group-work and a final research-based exhibition/presentation.
