In this Proseminar, we will approach climate change and inextricably linked issues (such as racial injustice, racism, and political extremism) – by looking at their representation in three literary genres: poetry, short stories, and novels. We will engage with and apply different contexts for criticism (e.g. ecocriticism, postcolonialism, race/class/gender, …), which will deepen your “Grundkurs” knowledge and give you different tools for analysing the discussed genres. Together, we aim to establish a network of (literary) connections between the texts, allowing us to appreciate the complexity and relevance of these discourses.
Readings will be made available on stud.ip at the beginning of the semester. In addition, please purchase and start reading:
