Pre-requisites Please be aware that in the Modulhandbuch this module, which consists of Proseminar + Übung is allotted 180h of work.
60 of those hours are counted towards your presence in the classroom 2h/PS + 2hÜ for 12-15 weeks of term. (With all the holidays it will be closer to 12.)
That leaves 60h for the Proseminar and another 60 for the Übung. That translates to about 2-3h of preparation time for each session. Please be aware of this when you plan your overall schedule. None of the plays we will read is terribly long, but there will be several of them to read plus secondary texts and background. The aim of the class is for you to get a good overview over the topic, which is only achievable if we look at a variety of plays.

Comment/Description

In this course we will analyze a variety of American plays under the theme of Eco-Drama (or Environmental Drama). North America has been and is still frequently characterized by its landscape as much as by its exploitation of the environment and its contribution to anthropogenic climate change. We will consider plays from the 20th and 21st century that deal with a variety of topics from the frontier to industrialization to environmental catastrophes and consider what views we might gain by paying particular attention to the roles of space, place and environment, and also species, how these themes are often entangled with questions of social justice, class, race & gender.

IMPORTANT:
There will be a block-day session on the 15.06.24 from 10 am to 4pm (replacing other Thursday dates that will be canceled - if you sign up for this course please make sure you have time on this date!)
