Termin:
 wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 16.10.2023 - 02.02.2024 | C 5.310 Seminarraum

Inhalt: The North American continent is one of the most diverse places in the world with a rich immigrant history, a vibrant political culture, and an influential media and arts industry. After a general introduction to North American Studies, we will concentrate on the following Canadian topics: Native cultures and the oral tradition; European colonization and immigration; Canada-U.S. relations (settlement patterns, ecological movements, and literary cultures); mainstream and marginalized voices that – encouraged by the social movements of the 1960s – enriched both the political debates and the literatures of Canada. Apart from traditional academic texts, we will also examine non-academic texts, such as blogs, newspapers, songs, and political cartoons.

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Dienstag | 16:15 - 17:45 | 16.10.2023 - 02.02.2024 | C 1.005 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Since the United States is one of the most diverse places in the world with a vibrant political culture, an often controversial religious vigor, and an influential media and arts industry, in this seminar, we will approach our topics not only from a socio-cultural and historical point-of-view, but also listen to mainstream and marginalized voices that – encouraged by the social movements of the 1960s – enriched both the political debates and the literatures of North America.
