Mapping the Urban Space: London since the 18th Century - Einzelansicht

The course will explore processes of urbanisation in Britain via representations of (primarily) London in fiction, poetry, paintings, etc. Thus, it will be an excursion through British history from the 18th century right to the present. The discussions will focus on an investigation of the aesthetics of these texts as well as their complex cultural, social etc. contexts in order to grasp a historicised concept of (urban) life/transitions. Depending on the number of participants, the course will offer ample room for creative presentations.

This MA course will be a combination of online, group work & hybrid on-campus sessions.
