Writing the Wrongs: Modern Prison Narratives in the United States

7.110203

Dozenten

Beschreibung

This course in American Studies attempts to explore the diverse poetics as well the politics of prison writings. In this regard, it aims to take up modern prison narratives from the United States, i.e., oral histories, life narratives, and nonfictional as also fictional accounts.
This seminar will take up a challenging selection of theoretical, analytical, fictional and nonfictional texts that demand careful preparation and thoughtful discussion.
Apart from other mandatory readings, we will take up the following text as primary reading:
_Surviving Justice: America's Wrongfully Convicted and Exonerated_ (2017), compiled and edited by Lola Vollen and Dave Eggers [ebook available for purchase at https://www.versobooks.com/products/468-surviving-justice ]
Please procure a copy in advance and start reading this book, if you wish to participate in this seminar.
This course takes up texts that might be viewed as offensive and/or disturbing, especially because of their racially and/or ethnically explicit vocabulary and imagery. This should not be seen as an attempt at normalizing racist epithets or attitudes, but on the contrary as an opportunity to appreciate and examine literary and cultural expression that tackles and critiques the murky realities of racism.
As part of your assigned work in this seminar, all the course participants would need to carefully prepare the reading(s) allotted for a session, develop points of discussion, and occasionally respond to the reading(s) via annotations on Google Docs. Our weekly, in-person meetings will be assisted by expert groups/session presenters.
