- Inhalt:
- Envisioning itself as nature’s nation, constructions of cultural identity in the U.S. have long been intertwined with shifting conceptions of nature. In this course, we will examine the origins of popular nature narratives, their evolution since colonial times, and their manifestations in the 21st century. How have race, gender, and class informed, complicated, and/ or subverted certain American nature ideals? We will analyze a variety of written and audio-visual texts by canonical and non-canonical writers and filmmakers to explore why the maxim of “wild and free” nature continues to be so alluring in the American imagination.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Please start reading Wild: A Journey from Lost to Found (2012) by Cheryl Strayed (ISBN: 978-1-78239-062-6). We will discuss this book in the first session on 26 April 2022. An additional reader will be made available in the first week of classes.
