Inhalt
Studying U.S. American literature and culture would be incomplete without considering the wealth of POC perspectives. In this class we will discuss exemplary and marginal cultural artefacts of the past and present and the phenomena that are closely linked to the specific historical experiences of People of Color. Our classroom material will include mostly literary texts, but also music, film, painting, sculpture, food etc. As the title of the seminar suggests, we will employ several of our senses to deal with the topic, which may also include a field trip to an exhibition.

Since we will deal with one of the key issues of American Studies, the reading list of this class will be rather extensive and students are expected to come to class prepared for lively, critical discussions.

Empfohlene Literatur
Most shorter reading (poems, speeches, short stories, secondary reading) will be provided via the VC. However, students are expected to acquire the following books (in print or as e-book) BEFORE the start of the semester and start reading the first two books (Jacobs and Hansberry) as soon as possible:
  • Harriet Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861) - prefered edition: The Norton Critical Edition (ISBN 0393614565)
  • Lorrain Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun (1959)
  • Mark Long, Jim Demonakos (authors), and Nate Powell (illustrator), The Silence of Our Friends (2012)
  • James Hannaham, Delicious Foods (2018)

Additionally recommended reading:
  • Kai Wright (ed.). The African American Experience: Black History and Culture Through Speeches, Letters, Editorials, Poems, Songs, and Stories. Black Dog and Leventhal Publishers, 2009.
  • Neil Irvin Painter. Creating Black Americans: African-American History and Its Meanings, 1619 to the Present. New York: OUP, 2007.
