SoSe 17: S-Culture-Gender-Media II: Cultural Difference and Cultural Encounters in Early Modern Europe

Sabine Schülting

Kommentar

The seminar will discuss the various literary and non-literary responses to cultural encounters in the early modern age, brought about by international trade relations, diplomatic contacts, and colonial enterprises. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the settings of these encounters were not confined to Europe but also included the Empires of the East and the ‘New World’. We will study travel narratives to the Ottoman Empire and the Americas, and early modern plays, by Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare and others. Discussions will focus on the representations of cultural encounter as well as the negotiations of cultural difference. Particular attention will be paid to the complex and contradictory power relations at stake, as well as to the intersection of religious, social, and gender identities in these accounts.

It is recommended that students combine this seminar with the course 17357, which will provide the theoretical basis for the textual analysis.

Texts: Students should purchase the following texts: Christopher Marlowe, The Jew of Malta (ed. by James R. Siemon, New Mermaids); William Shakespeare, Othello (ed. by Michael Neill, Oxford World’s Classics); William Shakespeare, The Tempest (ed. by Virginia Mason Vaughan and Alden T. Vaughan, The Arden Shakespeare, 3rd Series). Excerpts from further texts will be uploaded on Blackboard.

Assessment will be on the basis of regular attendance, active participation (including e.g. short presentations and response papers), and the submission of an essay of c. 4000 words.
