Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
In current academic debates, new ways of transdisciplinary collaborations have been explored to advance insights into research problems whose issues transcend the boundaries of single disciplines. The formation of American Studies in the 1930s and its renovation as Transnational American Studies in the 21st century have been attempts to combine classical language and literary studies with the social sciences. In a further collaborative effort, the disciplines of the humanities and of the natural sciences have sought to complement each other in new research agendas: Digital Humanities, Environmental Humanities, Medical Humanities, Blue Humanities, and Nuclear Humanities have been established. In this seminar, we will focus on Environmental Humanities and its position in Transnational American Studies.
This will be a compact course, scheduled to meet from 10 to 14 October, 10 – 14 o’clock.
The syllabus is attached. I will upload excerpts of texts to read on the Moodle platform.
