Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. From John Winthrop’s notion of the "shining city upon the hill" to the seemingly infinite "suburban sprawl" of metropolitan areas during the 20th century, cities have always been vital agents in the development of American culture and literature. As quasi-utopian places, especially north American cities have become central hubs of desire, pleasure, and global networks, but also of financial apartheid, racial segregation and restricted access. In the contemporary moment, urban agglomerations are evolving into complex ecologies entangled with ‘smart’ systems and manifold interactive sign systems. Contemporary literary representations of the city thus encode and decode urban structures and designs, map cosmopolitical infrastructures of the global world and sketch the complex relationship between large material systems, human communities, cultures as well as individuals. With a special focus on New York and Los Angeles, the seminar will discuss these issues and will trace the affinities between the city and the contemporary novel.
