WiSe 18/19: Capitalism and Culture in the United States, 1865 – 1914
Tim Lanzendörfer
Comments
This seminar dives more deeply into the complicated relationship between the capitalist, industrializing society of the “Gilded Age” and its cultural production. Drawing on a selection of theory on the complex interactions between the two, we will investigate a range of cultural expressions from what Alan Trachtenberg has called the “incorporation of America” even as we investigate the increasingly complex idea of “culture” itself. We will read novels, short stories, newspapers, and newspaper comic strips, from William Dean Howells’s The Rise of Silas Lapham to Stephen Crane’s Maggie. close
