Dozent/in: Maria Moss

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 06.10.2008 - 23.01.2009 | Raumangabe fehlt

Inhalt: The first part of the 20th century was unarguably one of the most prolific eras for lyrics in the United States. It was a time when modernist poets such as T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Robert Frost, H.D., Wallace Stevens, and Marianne Moore broke with their predecessors to create the premises for literary innovation. "Make it new," Pound decreed. How new modern poetry really is, what legacy it carried over from the past and which innovations it bestowed upon everything that followed will be discussed in this seminar.

Inhalt: Revolving around the movement from one place to another, migration narratives inherently represent cultural difference between the country of origin that is left behind and the target country that is favored. This seminar deals with the depiction of migration in children’s literature and zooms in on the representation of cultural contact, cultural difference and national identity. Looking at Jewish migration to America, we will explore the fuzzy image of the American Dream that lured millions of immigrants to that country and critically examine a wide range of children’s books and discuss how they employ it.
