Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

Wednesday 12:00-15:00 in room 824

Following the spatial and mobility turns in the humanities and the social sciences that have influenced the study of literature, this course will explore the politics of inclusion and exclusion that underpin the representations of space and mobility in texts of the nineteenth century. How do texts negotiate space and mobility in a period of unprecedented demographic shifts and movements, of expanding transport networks, of geo-political expansion, and of important developments in gender and class relations? How does the study of different kinds of spaces and mobility complicate our understanding of subjectivity as well as gender, racial, and national identity? Our focus will be mainly, but not solely, on women and space, concentrating on the dissolving boundaries between public and private space, work and leisure, centre and periphery, nation and world, through the study of texts by authors who in their representation of space and subjectivity challenge the assumptions of liberalism.
