- Inhalt
- This seminar introduces students to a history of Australian literature, its phases, changes, and developments from first imaginations to the twenty-first century by analysing novels, plays, short stories, poems, and non-fictional writing. Exploring the multifariousness of Australian literature oscillating between metropolitan accommodation and postcolonial resistance, students will identify overtly Australian subject matters, e.g. concepts of convictism, colonialism, pastoralism, mateship, endurance, loneliness, renewal, self-discovery, egalitarianism, etc., and question these constructions of a national literature in the light of an imagery, which is more urban, modern, and transnational.
By the first session, you should have read:
Meyer, Therese-Marie. “Australia.” English Literatures across the Globe: A Companion. Ed. Lars Eckstein. Fink, 2007. 178-200.
- Empfohlene Literatur
