- Inhalt
- As one of the most significant American authors of the twentieth century, Pulitzer- and Nobel-Prize laureate Toni Morrison was both a supreme stylist and a storyteller deeply committed to African American cultures past and present. In her eleven novels, she developed a new literary idiom that enables multifaceted insights into some of the most conflicted chapters of American history, the vagaries of interpersonal relationships, and the powers of a transgressive imagination.
In this course, we will read four of Morrison’s novels to explore their main thematic and artistic concerns, including the legacies of slavery; the links between individual, family, and community, desire and violence, economy and ecology; and the relationship between literature and memory, aesthetics and politics. We will also discuss some of Morrison’s literary and cultural criticism, especially Playing in the Dark (1992) and “Mourning for Whiteness” (2016), flanked by several interviews.
