Thinking the Pandemic
November = independent study month. Goal: design your own post-corona culture course.
How does this pandemic change our society/culture? How can art/culture reflect/respond to this
calamity? Is this the end of... what?
Read, surf, download, write, quote, THINK: “What Will Culture (also as an academic field of study) in
2025 look like?”
Literature? Art? Institutions (museums, universities, schools, courts, stadions,...)? Movies?


You design a mini-course (four lectures). Collect materials (Websites, articles, courses taught at other
institutions, talks, documentaries, ...) that you can use to build your prototypical course with.

Course requirements:
* Part One of the course: 2/4 weekly readings in full + notes + handouts + recordings (40%)
* Part Two: research and design your own post-corona-culture-course (40%)
* Part Three: “peer review”: comment upon blueprints by fellow students in yr group (20%)

,2020 – 2021 English: Culture 2


CONCEPTUAL GROUNDWORK
 Outsider = not mainstream, thinking outside the box
 Someone who has been excluded based on (individual for every society):
o Ideas
o Values
o Traditions
o Languages
o Sexual preference
o …
 Distinction outsider – hermit
o Hermit: turns back on society (by choice)
 Does not suffer from isolation; becomes himself by turning his back
o Outsider: excluded, shut out, ostracized
 Defined by relation of negativity
 Determined by negative relationship
 Suffers from not belonging
WHY THE OUTSIDER IN NOVELS?
 Relations of power
e.g. parents – child, teacher – student
o Not necessarily negative
o But can lead to isolation (insiders – outsiders)
 By focusing on outsidership we learn something about power relations in society; who is
outsidered and why?
 Makes literature great; way of presenting power
