230308 Hospitality and Hostility: Checking Out the Hotel in Anglophone Literature and Film (S) (WiSe 2023/2024)

Contents, comment

This class will deal with a variety of visual and literary representations of the hotel, predominantly from the North American and British cultural contexts. We will investigate the aesthetic function of the hotel as a setting as well as its meanings as a space of transitions, confrontations, and encounters between strangers, and in doing so will unravel the social, cultural, and ideological significance of these representations.

Bibliography

Literature and additional material will be made available in the Lernraum at the beginning of the semester.
