Kommentar/Beschreibung

This seminar aims to explore the multifaceted role of poetry as a form of socio-political participation and cultural critique across different communities and historical contexts. In this context, we will explore African American Voices from Slavery to the 21st Century, Native American Poetry from the U.S. Expansion to Contemporary Expressions of Indigenous Culture, as well as Feminist and Queer Writing from the Suffrage to Same-Sex Marriage.

Our discussions will engage with poets such as Phillis Wheatley, Langston Hughes, Jacqueline Woodson, Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, Joy Harjo, Simon Ortiz, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and Audre Lorde. In approaching these texts, we will employ a range of critical perspectives, including postcolonial, cultural, and religious frameworks as well as theories of gender and sexuality.

Relevant primary and secondary literature will be uploaded to Stud.IP at the beginning of the semester. Participants are expected to engage actively with the readings, contribute to seminar discussions, and complete assignments.
