Hauptseminar
Narratives of Home in North American Literatures
Eva-Sabine Zehelein
Kommentar
The seminar will look closely at a broad variety of North American texts to investigate questions such as: what exactly is a home(town)? Why do people call places “home” which are not their places of birth or even places where their families live? Why is small town life either desired or despised? How – if at all – have definitions of “home” changed over time? What is the relevance of “home” for politics? What role does real estate play? How strong is nostalgia in the projection of “home”? Please buy and read: Toni Morrison, Home (2012); Dionne Brand, What We All Long For (2005); Gabrielle Zevin, The Hole We’re In (2010), Alison Bechdel, Fun Home (2006). Schließen
