Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: This course will introduce students to key trends, periods, and authors of American literature with a special focus on the novel in the twentieth century. Students will read a selection of narrative texts and text excerpts that explore a variety of individual, collective, and/or national identities as well as social and political concerns. We will read the novels The Great Gatsby and The Bluest Eye in their entirety. This course will intensify and apply strategies and methodologies of literary analysis and interpretation established in the Introduction to Literary Studies/American Studies. In addition to reading and discussing the primary texts, in this course students will be further introduced to academic research and writing and complete a few writing activities as preparation for the term paper at the end of term.
