Kommentar
Families have always mattered. They have always been a constitutive element of all socio-cultural and political architectures, and have been impacted by and impact the contexts in which they are lived. However, who was/is considered “family” has changed significantly over the centuries due to transforming socio-cultural, political, and economic conditions as well as medical possibilities. This course looks at shifting notions and realities of families in American literary texts with a broad historical trajectory and a specific focus on the “family novel.” Some (background) texts will be provided on Blackboard. Please buy and read: John Steinbeck, Grapes of Wrath (1939), Joan Didion, Play It As It Lays (1970), Toni Morrison, A Mercy, (2008) and Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere (2017). Schließen
