Advanced seminar
WiSe 22/23: U.S. Romanticism as Period and Practice
Martin Lüthe
Comments
Like the lecture class in the same module, the seminar deals with the interlocking of Romanticism, cultural nationalism, and practices of political reform. In the seminar, we will discuss the documents, debates, and literary works from the period in-between the Jacksonian era and the Civil War in greater detail and we will also aspire to more explicitly establish readings against the “comfortable” settler-colonialist canon and the white imaginary of what U.S. romanticism entails and signifies. Topics include: “Indian Removal,” transcendentalism, debates on slavery and national expansion, sentimentalism and the abolitionist imagination, an emerging scientification of racist epistemologies, and the above-mentioned practices and texts of “writing back/against”. close
