Title Literature and Other Media in the Age of (Cultural) Sustainability (BA FM and FS Lecture and MA Lecture: Literature and Other Media)(UNGRADED)
Description Course Description: This lecture introduces students to the history, theory, and practice of intermediality, equipping them with the essential critical tools to analyze and evaluate various forms of cultural production in the contemporary period. The course will focus on the interrelations between different media and artforms to understand how literature responds to the rise of new types of media configurations, and how medial landscapes and technologies transform both literary production and our understanding of the literary text. Through the analysis of a variety of intermedial cultural artifacts, we will consider how the text, the visual, and the digital combine and interact in aesthetic configurations and affective forms, and we will attend to the ways in which the crossing of media boundaries can shape and contest the representation of issues of race, ethnicity, and gender in the age of (cultural) sustainability.

Required Reading: All readings (primary and secondary sources) will be uploaded to Ilias by the beginning of September. Please make sure you carefully prepare all the uploaded material before the respective sessions, as all readings will be subject to examination.
