Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The interactive course will offer opportunities for the discussion of examples of one of the most productive contemporary literary genres in North America. The texts chosen are intended to help explore stages in the (delayed) recognition of the heritage of various ethnic groups in the USA and Canada, which, since the 'decade of the autobiographical turn in literary criticism' (Hornung 1990), have provoked much critical attention. The participants of the course will be expected to analyse excerpts from significant examples in oral presentations and submit an essay, contextualising the genuine or fictional autobiography they have chosen for closer study. In addition, the participants will be asked to hand in two short session reports on texts reflecting "life writing" concerned with other ethnic groups.
The list of texts to be studied will include relevant material by Jewish American, Icelandic Canadian and Italian Canadian writers, as well as by Asian American and Asian Canadian authors. The course will also consider selected examples of African American and Caribbean Canadian ethnic writing. Excerpts from set texts will partly be included in a Reader, which will soon be available at Copy Studio.
Students are encouraged to register early so that they have enough time to study texts and contexts.
