Requirements / organisational issues:
This Cultural Studies seminar focuses on twentieth and twenty-first century Scottish nature writing, specifically on Nan Shepherd’s The Living Mountain.Edinburgh: Canongate, 2014.
Using this iconic text as our starting point, the seminar will then consider what nature writing means in a twenty-first century context and what overlaps it may have with other genres, for example travel writing. It also examines how nature writing in Scot-land thematizes issues of gender, Scottishness, and personal health in an ever-accelerating 21st century, with particular emphasis on human-nature relations in the midst of the climate crisis.
By organising this Cultural Studies seminar on Scottish nature writing as a “Blocksem-inar”, we will have the chance to discuss our topics with academics, authors and artists from Scotland at the “Scot-T Fest” in Rheinland-Pfalz on Friday, the 7th and Saturday, the 8th of July 2023.
