- Inhalt
- This seminar discusses the significance of different, historically situated philosophical, political and economic concepts of happiness as important hermeneutic frames, genre-shaping forces and thematic focuses in selected novels from the 18th to the 21st century. We will explore happiness as a narrative structure with specific forms of emplotment, narrative affects and temporalities and examine the ways in which literary texts raise the question of happiness as an individualist, social and political concept. Furthermore, we will problematize in how far the novels represent happiness and unhappiness as opposites or (as suggested by Sara Ahmed in The Promise of Happiness) as dialectically connected concepts and states/modes of being.
