Native American Literature, Culture, and Film (MA Seminar Literature) (Open to World Literature)

Dienstag, 17.03.2026

Hardly any minority culture on the North American continent has been subject to such a degree of stereotyping than that of Native American tribes. The seminar will cover both early depictions of Native Americans by Puritan settlers, some political and economic aspects, as well as different phases of literary and cultural self-assertion starting during the second half of the 20th century. As especially movies have played their part in perpetuating said stereotypes, we will also have a close look at some of the movies produced and played by Native Americans. A special emphasis will be on the mytho-poetic worldview of Native tribes, and its contrast to monotheistic and “Enlightened” Western religion and philosophy.
