WiSe 22/23: Early-20th Century Socialist Literature and the Labor Movements
Tobias Alexander Annamalay Jochum, Markus Kienscherf
Comments
In this seminar, we will take a close interdisciplinary look at early-twentieth century US labor movements. We will read and discuss early-twentieth-century socialist literature alongside historical and social-scientific studies of the US labor movement and US class struggles in particular. We will thus explore the role of class struggles in the formation of the US welfare state. Beyond providing reflections and chronicles of these struggles, the literary texts and writers assembled here have assumed active roles in shaping the history of the US left. They range from from Progressive Era muckraking to more radical voices associated with the Harlem Renaissance, from a programmatic Proletarian Literature and the Strike Novel to popular cultural expressions like crime fiction and folk music. close
