Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course will analyze three "classic" Native American novels that have successfully combined traditional "Indian" healing and survival storylines with the narrative techniques of "White" mainstream fiction: N. Scott Momaday's House Made of Dawn (1969), James Welch's Winter in the Blood (1974) and Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony (1977).
Apart from the practice of critical techniques necessary for the production of an academic paper, this course will also deal with the tribal-specific social, cultural and mythological parameters that inform the realistic and non-realistic aspects of our three texts.
