Anmerkungen
*Termine werden online abgehalten. Studierende erhalten Detailinfos ab Anfang Oktober. Auch individuelle Sessions können zusätzlich ausgemacht werden.*
Abhängig von der Situation um Covid-19 im Herbst wird das Seminar möglicherweise zum Teil online stattfinden (Konferenzschaltungen, detaillierte Skripten und/oder Videos zu abgehaltenen Lecture-Units werden auch nach den Seminareinheiten für die Studierenden abrufbar sein; Moodle Nutzung für weitere Materialien selbstverständlich), da es Personen mit stark erhöhtem Risiko für schwere Krankheitsverläufe in der Familie der Lehrenden gibt und sie selbst vor kurzem erst Mutter geworden ist.
Zeit und Ort
LV-Beschreibung
Intendierte Lernergebnisse
*Class will be held online due to family-health reasons (Covid risk) and my baby of only few months. Students will be provided with detailled information from the beginning of October onwards.*
*** Depending on the situation revolving around Covid-19 in autumn, class may be held online at least in part (e.g. via conference calls [group and, if requested, also individual, as we'd be more flexible timewise and I'll be available for three hours each web-session], detailled scripts echoing lecture units etc. will certainly be made availabe to students after our Monday meetings (be it online or in person), as there are people with a high risk of developing severe symptoms in the instructor's family, who herself -- in addition -- gave birth to her baby quite recently. ***
Aiming at an in-depth understanding of American Modernism's poetry, also looking beyond its most prominent figures.

Inhalt/e
Investigating poetry which shaped American Modernism, such as Marianne Moore's
"Black Earth":
Openly, yes,
With the naturalness
Of the hippopotamus or the alligator
When it climbs out on the bank to experience the
Sun, I do these
Things which I do, which please
No one but myself. Now I breathe and now I am sub-
Merged; the blemishes stand up and shout when the object
In view was a
Renaissance; shall I say
The contrary? The sediment of the river which
Encrusts my joints, makes me very gray but I am used
To it, it may
Remain there; do away
With it and I am myself done away with, for the
Patina of circumstance can but enrich what was
There to begin
With. This elephant skin
Which I inhabit, fibered over like the shell of
The coco-nut, this piece of black glass through which no light
Can filter—cut
Into checkers by rut
Upon rut of unpreventable experience—
It is a manual for the peanut-tongued and the
Hairy toed. Black
But beautiful, my back
Is full of the history of power. Of power? What
Is powerful and what is not? My soul shall never
Be cut into
By a wooden spear; through-
Out childhood to the present time, the unity of
Life and death has been expressed by the circumference
Described by my
Trunk; nevertheless, I
Perceive feats of strength to be inexplicable after
All; and I am on my guard; external poise, it
Has its centre
Well nurtured—we know
Where—in pride, but spiritual poise, it has its centre where ?
My ears are sensitized to more than the sound of
The wind. I see
And I hear, unlike the
Wandlike body of which one hears so much, which was made
To see and not to see; to hear and not to hear,
That tree trunk without
Roots, accustomed to shout
Its own thoughts to itself like a shell, maintained intact
By who knows what strange pressure of the atmosphere; that
Spiritual
Brother to the coral
Plant, absorbed into which, the equable sapphire light
Becomes a nebulous green. The I of each is to
The I of each,
A kind of fretful speech
Which sets a limit on itself; the elephant is?
Black earth preceded by a tendril? It is to that [...]
