Comment/Description

This class introduces students to the interdisciplinary study of water and culture, with a focus on the intersections of the blue humanities with social sciences, geography, literary and cultural studies, and the arts. The class consists of a mixture of seminar sessions and guest lectures by invited speakers. Scholars and teachers both from U Bremen and from elsewhere will deliver lectures on the theme “Making Waves: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Water and Culture.” In the sessions between the lectures, we will discuss corresponding theoretical and analytical texts as well as analyze primary material in accordance with the subject matter of the presentations and to critically reflect on their respective ideas and arguments. Students will obtain an overview of the interdisciplinary study of water and culture in the humanities and deepen their skills in cultural studies.
