Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. Globalization is often read as a purely contemporary phenomenon. With regard to cultural mobility however, the 19th century was just as “global” as the world we live in today (Osterhammel). Especially in the United States questions concerning immigration, cultural diversity, cosmopolitanism and globalization have always been important issues. As a ‘nation of immigrants’, frontier society and major international agent, the U.S. has had much influence on global issues. But neither has the U.S. ever been a place of universal hospitality nor has its cultural reach been truly global. This course will approach key texts of 19th century American Literature from the perspective of globalization and the question of cosmopolitanism. We will primarily look at texts by Herman Melville.
Literatur	Herman Melville. Typee (any edition) and Moby Dick (in excerpts – Norton Edition recommended) A course reader will be accessible on moodle.
