SoSe 18: Literary Theory
Ulla Haselstein
Comments
The seminar, open to PhD and advanced MA students, will have two parts. In the first, we will focus on theories of postcoloniality, transculturality and diaspora as a preparation for the second part, which will use the insights of theoretical discourses in readings of literary works by bestselling author Junot Diaz – Drown, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, This Is How You Lose Her and Islandborn. The second part will be team-taught with Visiting Professor José David Saldivar from Stanford University, who is a renowned expert on border literature, Chicano literature, and hemispheric literature (Caribbean literature, Latin American literature). The material to be discussed in the first part will be uploaded on blackboard. For the second part it is essential that all participants get their own copies of Diaz’s texts. close
