WiSe 12/13: Constructing Difference-HS:Literary and Cultural Histories: Literary Archaeologies
Andrew James Johnston
Kommentar
Archaeology both as a subject and as a metaphor has long been present in English literature. Even the Anglo-Saxons were fascinated by archaeological remains, by ruins, hidden treasures or buried artifacts. Again and again, we see archaeology being employed as a powerful allegory for historical distance or as a way of conceptualizing human beings' positions vis à vis the past. Indeed, in some respects one might even say that archaeology as a literary theme may often express notions of history for which a given culture possesses no adequate conceptual vocabulary.
This course seeks to assemble and interrogate a wide range of heterogeneous material concerned with archaeology in its many and fascinating literary guises. A reader with relevant material will be provided at the beginning of the semester.
This course will be taught in English and requires a knowledge of the language commensurate with C1 or, preferably, C2.
