WiSe 17/18: Discourses and Practices of Colonization and Settlement, 1492-1790

Alexander Starre

Kommentar

This lecture course deals with colonial societies and intercultural contact zones in North America between the 15th and 18th centuries. We will look at competing European settler cultures, practices of intercultural conflict and intermixture, as well as interdependent socio-economic, aesthetic, and ecological transformations in early modern times (shifting perspective from a Europe-centered narrative of “discovery” to a postcolonial account of conflictive hybridity). Topics include: Early European New World writings (Bacon, Montaigne, Shakespeare, Las Casas, De Vaca, etc.), the first British descriptions of Virginia and New England (John Smith, Thomas Harriot, William Bradford, Thomas Morton), Puritan writings both orthodox and heterodox (John Winthrop, Anne Hutchinson, Edward Taylor, Anne Bradstreet, and others), Indian captivity narratives and missionary tracts (Mary Rowlandson, John Eliot, the Gookins), mental and intellectual shifts in the late 17th century and in the context of the Great Awakening (Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Chauncy, Benjamin Franklin). ----- Please note: This course functions as “Vorlesung” in the M.A. Culture Module A ("Amerikanische Ideengeschichte und Theorien amerikanischer Kultur"). As such, it accompanies the seminar “18th-Century Colonial Cultures and the Biopolitics of Settlement” (Prof. Lüthe). Schließen
