- Inhalt
- The representation of childhood and youth has a prominent function in fictional writing from the Caribbean. The Coming-of-Age novel is a genre frequently used for the exploration of the complexity of experiences with which adolescents are confronted. Within the Caribbean region, an analogy is often established between the challenges adolescents face and the political struggles of former colonies. The quest for emancipation and self-determination provides an important structural link between the private and the public spheres, which is captured by the literary texts in suggestive images. We will read Jamaica Kincaid’s 1990 novel Lucy before we turn to texts of two First Generation writers – Sam Selvon’s 1952 novel A Brighter Sun and George Lamming’s 1953 classic In the Castle of my Skin. Throughout the course of the seminar, theoretical texts will be discussed in order to provide specific analytical angles for the interpretation of the literary texts.
A 'Schein' requires regular attendance and participation, a presentation in class and a written paper of 10-12 pages (in English!) to be handed in by March 7, 2008.
