230303 Knowledge and Imagination: Literature and Science in 19th-Century America (S) (WiSe 2015/2016)

This course has been cancelled!

Contents, comment

The seminar seeks to explore the phenomenon of the U.S.-American city from a variety of different angles. These include: city planning, restructuring, and marketing; socio-political discourses on the city; and representations of the city and the urban experience in US.-American literature, music, and the visual arts. We will cover the period from the late 19th century up to today. A geographic focus will be on New York with smaller sections on Detroit, New Orleans, and Los Angeles, but students may pursue projects on other major U.S. cities.

Bibliography

A Stud IP page with all required readings will be made available to participants in early or mid-September.
