Coastal zones have played an important role in Gothic fiction since the genre's inception in the eighteenth century. Beaches, shorelines, and littoral infrastructures have often been portrayed as liminal spaces in which questions of individual, regional, and national identity are being negotiated. In this class we will explore literary and visual representations of these zones, and investigate them for their ambiguous portrayals of the borderlands between sea and land. We will approach our primary material through critical lenses such as postcolonialism, feminist and queer theories, ecocriticism, and more.
The reading load for this class will be fairly extensive.
