| Semester | Herbstsemester 2007 |
| Angebotsmuster | unregelmässig |
| Dozierende | Franziska Gygax (franziska.gygax@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn) |
| Inhalt | Gertrude Stein as one of the most prominent literary figures of modernism has also been called the mother of postmodernism because her writings on the one hand demonstrate postmodern aesthetic practices, and on the other hand have been influential for a number of postmodern writers of the late 20th and 21st centuries. Relying on postmodern critical categories we can approach Steins highly experimental and decentering poetic language in a more encompassing way and establish links between her and contemporary writers such as Lyn Hejinian and Susan Howe, two representatives of the so-called L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets. We will also discuss some of Steins plays and their stagings by Robert Wilson. |
| Lernziele | The aim of this seminar is to introduce students to Steins works (plays, prose texts, poetry) and to become acquainted with some of the theoreticians of postmodernity. |
