The tutorial aims to explore depictions of intimacy, trauma, and masculinity in different media during WWI. We will consider a wide selection of war poetry by the likes of Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke, and Jessie Pope, as well as excerpts from novels such as Pat Barker’s Regeneration trilogy, Ford Madox Ford’s Parade’s End or Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front. The primary sources and additional secondary texts, as well as some movie adaptations reveal the atrocities of war both for the soldiers involved as well as those staying behind at home. Excerpts from Robert Grave’s Goodbye to All That add the dimension of differences between fictional and biographical accounts of the war.
Inviting students from all faculties, we want to take an interdisciplinary approach of war time literature, which would be particularly interesting for gender studies and history students as well as Anglistik/Amerikanistik. Accordingly, we encourage all students from different fields to share their expertise and shape the discussions of the tutorial.
