Inhalt:
At present, Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical about the American founding father Alexander Hamilton, has become one of the most best-selling shows ever produced on Broadway and demonstrates how American popular culture brings colonial history to life. Likewise, over the past decade, HBO and other media companies aired critically acclaimed TV series and films about the early Americas. In addition comic book authors and illustrators as well as regional writers launched fresh approaches to retelling colonial events, historical documents, and controversial issues such as racial, ethnic, and imperial conflicts in the early Atlantic world. This graduate course explores the numerous strategies in which different types of media (film, music, books, comics, etc.) represent early America, how they reinforce sometimes troubling narratives that legitimize colonialism and nation-building, but also how media challenges commemorative initiatives and sheds new light on colonial policies of coercion, displacement, and assimilation.
