Kommentar

Designed as a semi-block seminar over the course of WS 2022-23, US-American Cultures of Childhood adopts a literary-historical perspective to the study of US-American childhoods from the end of the 18th century to the present. Throughout the seminar, we step into the world of American children, delving into the ways adults conceived of, disciplined, cared for, educated, and imagined American children at various points in the history of the colonies and later the young nation. Furthermore, we will examine some of the ways childhood has been discussed and understood as a 'cultural artifact' by American adults during this time period and the ways these discussions and definitions have been reflected in the history of American childhood. Third, we will engage in critical discussions on the affinities of childhood and the U.S. national, and later imperial, identity and their intersections at the nexus of age, race, gender, religion, and citizenship/coloniality. ----- Please note that this course is reading- and writing-intensive.
