Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: While intertextuality is a term that does not only refer to intertextual references but includes a much wider range of references to culture and politics, we will primarily focus on crossreferences between texts and how these crossreferences are used to construct a new text. It might be hardly surprising that satirical writing frequently resorts to this strategy. Consequently, some of the texts, albeit not all of them, are satirical texts. The majority of the texts we willl discuss are 2oth-century texts, but we will start out with two older texts by Benjamin Frankin and Edgar A. Poe to demonstrate that intertextuality is not limited to one particular period. The reading includes: Short Stories Benjamin Franklin, "Rules by Which a Great Empire Might Be Reduced to a Small One" (1773) Edgar A, Poe, " The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazad" (1845) Bernard Malamud, "Angel Levine" (1958) Allegra Goodman, The Four Questions" (1996) Novels: Mary Antin. The Promised Land (1912) Eva Hoffman. Lost in Translation (1989) Tova Reich. The Jewish War (1995)
