- Inhalt
- The small word very in the title of our seminar will set the tone for the entire semester: we will be interested in female Black British writing published since the Brexit referendum and set in a post-#MeToo, Black-Lives-Matter world. Our protagonists are over-educated, under-paid interns, mediocre social media influencers, unrecognised, aspiring journalists ready to fight for human rights and couch-surfers against their will in a London they cannot afford. The texts in our syllabus feature young female representatives of Generation Z, which will allow us to discuss such topics as job insecurity, the housing crisis and gentrification, mental health, social media consumption as well as the rising social antagonisms in British society. We will explore the intersections of the challenges faced by Generation Z with the specific challenges of the BAME heroines in novels by celebrated, prize-winning writers such as Bernardine Evaristo, Zadie Smith and Candice Carty-Williams. The genres covered in this class try to do justice to the diversity of topics, modes and styles of recent Black British female writing and will therefore range from (performance) poetry and the neo-Victorian thriller to the novel of development, from domestic noir, biography-slash-manifesto, feminist essay, (queer) short story to the refugee tale and the history play. The seminar will problematise canon formation, the mainstreaming of parts of Black British literature and discuss the effects of labelling ( BAME , Black British ) as well as the awarding of literary prizes to black writers.
