WiSe 12/13: Literary and Cultural Theories-T: Speaking with the Dead: The New Historicism in Retrospect
Andrew James Johnston
Kommentar
One of the most influential movements in late twentieth-century literary studies was the so-called 'New Historicism'. For more than two decades (c. 1980 - 2000) it reigned supreme in those subdivisions of English literary criticism that dealt with literature from the past. Today, even though there is still plenty of interesting New Historicist work being done, the New Historicism is decidedly past its prime - though it has not been supplanted by any other paradigm claiming a similar degree of dominance.
This course is a deliberate attempt to look back at the New Historicism in order to assess its moment in critical history, to chart its genesis, to review its strengths and its drawbacks.
A reader containing both theoretical material and typical examples of New Historicist analysis will be put at the students' disposal before the course starts. This course will be taught in English and requires a knowledge of the language commensurate with C1 or, preferably, C2. Schließen
