Area Studies: David Lodge (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Gary Walsh

Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 08:15 - 09:45 | 18.10.2010 - 04.02.2011 | C 14.006 Seminarraum

Inhalt: This seminar takes a look at the social, political, and cultural themes in the United States in a turbulent time in American history. We will examine the subjects (Civil Rights, JFK’s presidency, student protests, Vietnam War, Woodstock and the counterculture, the Women’s Movement, etc.) from multiple perspectives, analyzing both high and popular culture, mainstream and marginalized voices. The seminar will also discuss the late 1960s through the filter of David Lodge's novel, Changing Places. In this campus novel two professors, one from America and one from England, each take the other's position for half a year in 1969. Against the background of the student protest movements, free love, the beginning of feminism, Lodge makes fun of the culture clash and the academic world.
