- Inhalt
- Following the material turn in Victorian studies, the welter of material objects in Victorian literature and culture - as well as the various forms of consuming these objects - has become a field of study in its own right. This seminar focuses on Victorian consumer culture. We will deal with literary texts and visual material to examine representation of different forms of consumption and how they are entangled in discourses of gender, class and nationality. Using the TV series Cranford (2007), we will discuss how Victorian consumer culture is imagined in the 21st century. The texts and the TV series will be approached by means of basic analytic strategies which are prevalent in literary and cultural studies and which can also be applied to other fields of study.Students wishing to participate in this seminar are expected to acquire a copy of A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Books and Cranford and read Charles Dickens''s "A Christmas Carol" before the beginning of the semester. Visual material will be made available via StudOn. The film Cranford will also be provided.
