Topics include: “Indian Removal,” transcendentalism, the importance of Moby-Dick and the media form of the novel, debates on slavery and national expansion, sentimentalism and the abolitionist imagination, proslavery philosophies, the slave narrative, and other issues. The lecture course serves as "Grundlagenvorlesung" of Culture-Module B in the M.A. program.
