Inhalt:

In this class we will explore rivers in poetry, fiction, music, movies, mythology and folklore.
We will analyze the river as a generic, universal entity, present in countless songs and poems, but also specific rivers, focusing on the Thames and the Mississippi (but without forgetting the tributaries of the Thames in Rivers of London, the Spoon River and its cemetery and poems, the Sand Creek and its role in history).

This class is open for students of both literary and cultural studies, and both as a reading tutorial (Uebung) and as a seminar.
