230585 Music and Literature in the Contact Zone: African American Culture (S) (WiSe 2006/2007)

Contents, comment

In this seminar we will look at work songs, spirituals, blues, jazz and rap as major musical expressions shaping African American culture and literature in the 20th century. We will consider the historical and cultural function of music for African American communities within the United States. Our main focus will be on literary representations of music in African American poetry, drama and fiction and on the aesthetic and political use of music in literary texts. A reader with shorter texts will be made available. Students should please buy a copy of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man (any edition).
