14 July: Literary Evening
A literary evening in the Port of Science serves to present the results of student work from two seminars held by the Chair of Anglophone Cultural and Literary Studies in the summer semester 2025. Students in the seminar "The Empire Writes Back" focussed on the relationship between canonical English novels and their rewriting by authors from former British colonies. The question of the techniques and aims of this practice of "writing back" and the function of literature in the reappraisal of European colonial history are at the centre of their interest. Over the course of the semester, students in the "Affective Landscapes" seminar have devoted themselves to the question of the cultural transformation of material spaces and explored how different spaces are formed and experienced culturally. In the course of six excursions, urban and natural spaces were explored and the way in which we perceive, shape, and claim spaces was discussed.
