SoSe 18: History of literature, history of violence
Édouard Louis
Kommentar
We will explore how authors, such as Marguerite Duras, Toni Morrison, Imre Kertész, Svetlana Alexievitch, Tash Aw, Michel Foucault etc., tried to understand our world by analyzing its violence (sexual, racial, penal, or in terms of class domination). What can violence teach us about our being or our feelings? What is the link between truth and violence? What can literature do against violence? And, of course, is there a specific kind of violence, generated by literature? Our class will consist mainly of discussion, with occasional in-class writing exercises and presentations.
