Cíle předmětu
This course aims to examine in more detail contemporary Indigenous literature (and culture in general) in North America. We will co-teach this course with Dr. Nicole Perry from the University of Vienna, taking turns each week. Students will be asked to study the texts/films, analyzing themes and narrative strategies and contemplate the ways in which modern Indigenous cultural forms may articulate a distinctive genre and/or aesthetic. The analysis will be put into a larger context of the historical development of Indigenous literatures in the USA and Canada since its renaissance in the 1960s and also into the perspective of traditions of oral cultures. At the end of the course students should have a better appreciation of the minority discourse and the development of Indigenous artistic forms in the last four decades.

Evaluation: Participation and class discussion 20% Response papers 30% Final essay 50% Note: To pass the course, students must pass all activities in the continuous assessment. Assignment guidelines: Response papers: The purpose of this activity is to read critically, notice details, take notes when reading, make connections, return to key passages, gain a deeper appreciation of the assigned text(s), clearly formulate one’s own thoughts in writing, get feedback from the instructors, and be prepared to contribute to class discussions. In theory, no research is needed (though possible) at this stage, the paper should rather voice your own creative/critical thoughts, discoveries and opinions based on the primary reading(s). The format is three to four double-spaced pages, MLA format, including a precise title, introduction, body and conclusion, clear argumentation, logical organization, coherent paragraphs, integrated citations, academic language. Please bring a hard copy to the class. Final essay: The final research paper must be based on your own research and integrate secondary sources as well as textual support from primary readings. The format is 8 pages minimum (excluding bibliography), double-spaced, 12p Times New Roman, following MLA guidelines for references and bibliography. Deadlines will be set in the IS before the exam period.
