This course aims at introducing students to a variety of scholarly discourses and concepts used for the analysis of American culture. It focuses on different media and forms of cultural representation and studies the responses to these sources by scholars of American Studies with different theoretical backgrounds. Addressed are theories
such as Poststructuralism, Gender Studies, Critical Whiteness Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Critical Race Theory, Queer of Color Critiques, etc. The students are encouraged to reflect critically on the ways these theories are engaged in the production and contestation of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and other categories.
The course registration is via AGNES. There will be a reader with texts to be discussed in class at Sprintout (S-Bahn-Bögen) by April 8th. If you have questions about this class, please e-mail Claudia Holler: claudia.holler@staff.hu-berlin.de
