Erste Veranstaltung: 29.05.2012
Hinweise: Originally coming from social studies, theories of intersectionality focus on interdependencies and intertwinements of various categories of social and cultural inequality, diversity, and difference. This workshop aims at an exploration of the applicability and added value of theories of intersectionality for literary studies and, more specifically, context-oriented narratology. The very basic assumption is that identity and difference cannot be adequately described and analysed on the basis of just one category (such as gender or ethnicity). Categories of difference are rather seen as influencing, informing, and even constituting each other.

In this workshop I wish to provide a summary of various approaches in cultural studies which deal with intersectionality, diversity and heterogeneity and to discuss their potential for literary analysis especially within the field of context-oriented narratology: What does it mean to take an ‘intersectional’ perspective in literary studies, and how does this perspective differ from feminist, postcolonial, or Marxist approaches to literature? Besides the ‘classical’ race/class/gender trias of difference, I aim to discuss the significance of further identity categories such as (dis)ability, age, or religion. After a general introduction via two basic secondary texts, the group discussion will focus on the analysis of an excerpt from a contemporary British novel to explore its intersectional potential on both the story and the discourse level.
