SoSe 23: Cultures of Contagion
Hannah Spahn
Kommentar
From the revolutionary period to today, narratives about epidemics and pandemics have played important roles in US culture. In this seminar, we will combine approaches from intellectual history and cultural history and theory to read these narratives through the lens of changing concepts and metaphors of contagion. Studying newspaper accounts, short stories, novels, autobiographies, and films, we will aim at getting a better understanding of how historically different cultures of contagion, in their oscillation between problems of social cohesion and social disintegration, have informed modern American concepts of personal identity, nationhood, and race.
