Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: This seminar serves as an introduction to the major traditions of twentieth-century ethnic drama. Among the course readings will be dramatic texts by African American, Asian American, Mexican American, Jewish American, and Native American playwrights as well as foundational theoretical manifestos that attempt to define the role of ethnic theater. The course will explore how playwrights respond to stereotypical representations of ethnic Americans on stage and how they construct history, memory, and ethnicity in dramatic performances. We will trace a social protest tradition through the realistic, expressionist, postcolonial, and postmodern phases of ethnic drama.
