Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: In this seminar, we explore American periodical (that is, magazine and newspaper) culture, with a focus on the time from the Early Republic through 1870. We will explore the meaning of periodicals in the first century of the American republic, discuss changing forms and technologies, and embark on our own research projects in the available electronic databases. The seminar is a collaborative project with the Pädagogische Hochschule Heidelberg and American Studies at FB06 in Germersheim. Our shared research topic will be representations of history in periodicals. Two block seminar sessions will take place at PH Heidelberg on Saturdays in November and December—we will develop a shared theoretical basis and co-operate on research projects as we go along. The conclusion of the seminar will be a student conference at Mainz, at which research groups will present their results and discuss them.
Zusätzliche Informationen: Please note especially the three Saturday sessions, two of which will take place at the Pädagogische Hochschule Heidelberg!
