Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: From the nineteenth century to the present, Indigenous periodicals have served as mediators for both complex decolonial translations, as well as an important archive documenting and representing Indigenous people and issues. Indigenous newspapers, magazines, newsletters, and other periodic publications are vital sources for literary history and forms of Indigenous writing. This advanced research seminar evolves from a publication project (Nebraska University Press) that aims to anthologize and recover Indigenous periodicals with a focus on media history. It will offer a good selection of Indigenous periodicals together with digital archives producing a representative collection of Indigenous periodicals from their inception in the late 1820s to the present. The selection will be set in relation to understanding, theorizing, and reading these periodicals within the context of recent trends in Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS). Students will be invited to discuss Indigenous periodical and journalistic work alongside Indigenous webs of community and writing. They also participate in a publication project tied to the leading press in the field of NAIS and discuss topics with experts invited to this course.
