SoSe 23: Writing History
Birte Wege
Kommentar
In this seminar, we will examine a wide range of literary works that are engaged with recreating historical events and settings, broadly interrogating how we understand the concepts of ‘truth’ and ‘historical accuracy,’ and the role literature can play in shaping perceptions of the past. The course begins with the works of James Fenimore Cooper & early attempts to reach back through America’s short history to shape national identity. The main focus will be on literary works from the twentieth and twenty-first century, however. We will consider the category of historiographic metafiction via such postmodern classics as E.L. Doctorow’s ‘Ragtime,’ and Thomas King’s ‘Green Grass, Running Water’, but also examine other forms engaging with the past, such as graphic narrative memoirs, New Journalist writings, and experimental theatre-poetry hybrids.
