Im Rahmen der American Days veranstaltet das Institut für Literaturwissenschaft (ILW), Abteilung Amerikanistik, folgende Vorträge:

• Prof. Dr. Marc Priewe: Native American LiteratureThis lecture provides an introduction to Native American literature from its oral beginnings to its printed present. As a case study, Leslie Marmon Silko's novel Ceremony (1977) will help to illuminate salient themes, symbols, structures, and narrative strategies in contemporary American Indian fiction.

  Wo: Universität Stuttgart, Campus Stadtmitte Breitscheidstr. 2, M 2.02 70174 Stuttgart

• Veronika Hofstätter: “Westward Ho”This lecture outlines the main events and ideologies underlying the westward expansion of the United States during the nineteenth century. It will illustrate some of the lived experiences at the "American frontier" and provide a necessary critique of U.S. imperialism and internal colonialism.

  Wo: Universität Stuttgart, Campus Stadtmitte Keplerstraße 17 Breitscheidstr. 2, M 2.11 70174 Stuttgart
