Lecture
SoSe 19: Discourses and Practices of Colonization and Settlement, 1492-1790
Martin Lüthe
Comments
The lecture addresses the complexities of U.S. cultural production and social life in the era of colonization and “settlement” in North America from roughly 1492 to 1790. Already, of course, the periodization of the lecture reproduces the (epistemic and physical) violence inherent in the practices and discourses of so-called settlement. In order to avoid a teleological “reading back” of the period leading up to the founding of the United States, the lecture will attempt to take the period serious in its own right as a distinct moment in North American cultural history and we will aspire to both, come to terms with and complicate the central concepts introduced in the title of the lecture – especially by merging (two of) them in the prism of settler colonialism. In addition, I will attempt to present much of what we consider to be canonized for the period at hand, while I also hope to identify and introduce fresh voices in the discourses of colonization and settlement. close
