Kommentar/Beschreibung

This seminar explores the cultural and imaginative currents that shaped America in the long nineteenth century. Focusing on select cultural objects, such as nature writing, the slave narrative, and landscape paintings, we examine how land and bodies of water functioned as symbolic and material sites where questions of power, freedom, resistance, and national or cultural belonging were negotiated. Through a combination of textual analysis and cultural history, we will investigate how the American environment was represented, claimed, and contested in a century marked by expansion, conflict, and environmental and industrial transformation.

This class is open to BA E-SC students studying 3rd semester modules. It is also open to a limited number of international exchange students and students doing ‘Freiwillige Zusatzleistungen,’ ‘Ersatzleistungen,’ and General Studies, including the sustainability certificate BRENA.
