Beschreibung: The 19th century marks an essential and formative period in U.S.-American social and cultural history. Living through what could be called both a belated and an accelerated process of urbanization, industrialization and modernization, Americans responded to the particular challenge of the 'coming of age' of their nation with creating some of the most powerful myths and narratives of cultural self-definition and empowerment.
The lecture series will take a close look at some of the major texts and contexts between the age of Romanticism and the emergence of Modernism.
Students who will take this class as a required part of their Bachelor (V3) / Master module (L3/4) have to take part in the final written exam. Students who take this class as an elective (Wahlbereich) need to document their regular attendance - alternative options will be considered for those that have to take this class for a Studiennachweis. Students in exchange programs or other study programs (LKE, Verflechtungsbereich) need to talk to the instructor about how to obtain credits for this class.
The lectures will be recorded and made available for enrolled students through the course page in StudIP.
