Dear students, all courses will be taught as online courses with asynchronous access until further notice. Once you have signed on in PULS and have been admitted in PULS, your instructor will email you via PULS to let you know when and how to access the online material (moodle, etc.). Testatsleistungen (course requirements) may be subject to change. Students who cannot (yet) access PULS: Please email your instructor directly. It is possible that classes can be switched to classroom

teaching (Präsenzlehre) at some point during the semester. If this happens, your instructor will let you know and classes will take place at the times originally scheduled.

This class is designed to introduce students to a variety of U.S. American fiction about the South. We will look at constructions of the South as we read Poe, Faulkner, Chopin, Lee and excerpts from Toni Morrison's 'Beloved' alongside secondary literature on their texts. The course will be framed by critical essays from Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Students are asked to obtain a copy of Harper Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird'
