Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: James Fenimore Coopers Werk markiert den Beginn der Indianerliteratur des 19. Jahrhunderts. In seinen Indianerromanen stellt Cooper die Beziehung der Angloamerikaner zu den Indianern dar und entwirft darüber hinaus ein Bild des Indianers, das am Nachhaltigsten die Vorstellung vom typischen Indianer in der Literatur geprägt hat. Hierbei ist Cooper einerseits der europäischen Aufklärung verpflichtet, die den noble savage erfand. Andererseits greift Cooper auch das puritanische Feindbild des Indianers, den satanic savage, auf. Darüber hinaus orientiert sich Cooper aber auch an zeitgenössischen spezifisch amerikanischen Vorstellungen von Indianern, wie dem vanishing American. Im Ganzen präsentiert Cooper ein stereotypisiertes Bild des Indianers, indem er ihn unter die simple Dichotomie des guten und des bösen Indianers subsumiert. Dennoch problematisiert Cooper bestimmte Klischees des Fremden, indem er einzelne Indianer individualisiert. James Fenimore Cooper gilt als Amerikas erster Mythopoet, herausragender Vertreter der amerikanischen Romantik, Vater der amerikanischen Nationalliteratur und als amerikanischer Scott , weil er Themen aus der amerikanischen Geschichte verarbeitete. Dabei fiktionalisierte er historische Ereignisse, indem er sie in die tradierten Formen einer Romanhandlung umgoss und von der Ebene des individuellen Erlebens her beleuchtete. Hierbei bekannte sich Cooper nicht nur zu einem genuin amerikanischen Schauplatz (setting), sondern erstritt mit seinen indianischen Protagonisten die Literaturwürdigkeit der nordamerikanischen Ureinwohner. Im Rahmen seines umfangreichen Werkes stellen vor allem die Leatherstocking Tales den amerikanischen Mythos schlechthin dar und bilden darüber hinaus den Beginn der Indianerliteratur des 19. Jahrhunderts. Coopers Indianerfiguren wurden infolge der breiten Rezeption sowohl in Amerika als auch in Europa zum Inbegriff des Roten Mannes . So schrieb beispielsweise der Kritiker Paul Wallace im Jahr 1954: For a hundred years The Leatherstocking Tales cast a spell over the reading public of America and Europe and determined how the world was to regard the American Indian . Coopers Indianerdarstellung hat also wesentlich dazu beigetragen, dass sich das gegensätzliche Indianerbild vom guten und bösen Indianer zu dem Mythos vereinigen konnte, der sich bis in die heutige Zeit hinein durchsetzen konnte. Die Lederstrumpf-Romane, aber auch andere Indianerromane Coopers, [...]

Roma sind als größte ethnische Minderheit seit Jahrhunderten in Europa heimisch und sind doch bis heute massiven Vorurteilen und rassistischen Ressentiments ausgesetzt. Die longue durée der vorurteilsbehafteten Heterostereotype spiegelt sich nicht nur in Alltag und Politik, sondern auch in den unterschiedlichen Formen des graphischen Erzählens. Mehrheitsgesellschaftliche Comics und Graphic Novels bedienen sich eines sehr eingeschränkten Repertoires althergebrachter Heterostereotype. In den gegenwärtig populären Geschichts- und Reportagecomics wird hingegen versucht, eben diesen Klischeebildern durch dokufiktionale Darstellungsmodi entgegenzuwirken. Diese Strategie findet sich auch bei vielen Selbstdarstellungen von Roma, die ganz explizit in den Fokus gerückt werden, um Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede von Selbst- und Fremddarstellungen sowie deren unterschiedliche Formen und Funktionen auszuloten. Der transdisziplinär-komparatistisch konzipierte Band nimmt dabei Perspektiven der Kultur- und Comicwissenschaften wie der Soziologie, Theologie und den Romani Studies ein.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0 (B), University of Münster (English Seminar), course: Inventing American History: The Beginnings of the American Historical Novel, language: English, abstract: My research paper is designed to clarify the aspects central to the issue of manhood negotiated in James Fenimore Cooper’s novel The Last of the Mohicans (1826). In the Victorian era, manhood had been positively attributed to the white race exclusively. In novels and illustrations, the ideal man fit the “Victorian ideals of manhood” (Rotundo 37-40) with fixed traits and attributes, such as courage, sexual self-restraint, a powerful will, and a strong character. As we will see, no male in the novel fits such a formula completely. I will then postulate what drives Cooper to bestow such an image on his male heroes. The “Victorian ideals” did not apply to all male people. “Savage” men, as Uncas and his father in the novel, were not considered to possess the distinct traits attributed chiefly to non-savage men, i.e. the white-male. Manliness was clearly linked to white-male supremacy and civilization; a long-held belief in American culture for centuries. The encounter between the “uncivilized brutish” and the whites is a dominant theme in the novel. We will see that the combining issue of race, gender, culture and civilization is inextricable and fundamental for the study of the subject and therefore will be elaborated on in detail. Many historians have falsely assumed that manhood has a strict, self-evident set of traits, unchanging over time. Other historians have emphasized the fact that the set of traits attributed to manhood varies from period to period, from class to class. This lead to a continual need for redefining male character traits at any historical moment, which often problematically presented itself in coexisting but contradictory views on manhood at a special period. Cooper, of course, was deeply familiar with the period’s masculine ideal of manhood, and understood that Victorian readers expected to find these qualities of manliness assigned to his male characters. Indeed, these attributes are present in the white male figures in the novel, but more importantly, Cooper does not hesitate to display an image of white men that portrays male deficiency in various aspects and situations. In chapter III. and IV., this issue is discussed in detail.

Dennoch problematisiert Cooper bestimmte Klischees des Fremden, indem er einzelne Indianer individualisiert. Diese Arbeit untersucht, wie Cooper den „typischen“ Indianer darstellt und wie er zentrale Indianergestalten individualisiert. Hierbei wird zunächst auf die Traditionen und Quellen eingegangen, denen Coopers Indianerdarstellung verpflichtet ist. Diese Arbeit richtet sich vor allem an Studierende und Mitarbeiter im Fachbereich Amerikanistik, sowie an alle Interessierten auf dem Gebiet der Indianerliteratur.

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, University of Koblenz-Landau (Anglistik), course: 19th Century Frontier Novels: Gender, Race, and Class on the American Frontier, language: English, abstract: The frame story of the novel The Last of the Mohicans written by James Fenimore Cooper in 1826, deals with two young British ladies, Alice and Cora, on their journey to their father Colonel Munro. The story is set in North America in 1759 during the war between the French and British colonists who fight for their territories. The two women are escorted by Major Duncan Heyward, a confidant of Colonel Munro, by Hawkeye, a white man who is allied with the Mohicans, and his Mohican friends Uncas and his father Chingachgook. On their journey they encounter various dangers which are largely due to the Hurons, an Indian tribe that is allied with the French. Therefore, the male characters have to show their abilities in fighting and protecting themselves, as well as the females, throughout the story. Cooper approaches several topics in the narrative like racism, colonialism, heroism and masculinity but, I will only refer to the latter two. This paper reveals the differences and similarities between the characters Hawkeye, Uncas and Heyward by analysing their outer appearance and behaviour in order to review their heroism and manhood. All those three protagonists possess abilities which could allow them to be the novel's hero. But only Major Duncan Heyward goes through an outstanding personal development and therefore, meets the requested characteristics of a hero by the end of the story best. The first character that undergoes analysis is Hawkeye. I will have a closer look at his hybrid identity as he is a white man who lives in the 'wilderness'. Furthermore, his role in the narrative is discussed to classify his importance for the story. The character that is argued next is the Indian warrior Uncas.

Essay from the year 2002 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0 (A), University of Kent (School of English), course: 19th-Century American Literature, 10 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In James Fenimore Cooper’s fiction, ‘women are of central social significance. [Cooper’s] theme is society, and he defines women as the nexus of social interaction,’ Nina Baym argues1. She claims that the author is not interested in women’s personhood or individuality, but rather in their usefulness for society. According to Baym, matrimony is ‘the chief “statement” of the social language’.2 Therefore, if a woman is apt for marriage, she is socially utile. One of the main aspects of The Last of the Mohicans is the dichotomy between the half-sisters Cora and Alice Munro, to whom the concept of social usefulness can be applied. On the one hand, Fenimore Cooper presents Alice, who is fair, helpless and infant ile, as marriageable. On other hand, Cora, the dark, courageous and initiated sister, is considered unsuitable for wifehood. Instead of letting Cora be united in marriage with the Indian Uncas in the end of the novel, the author decides to kill both of the m. Many of his contemporaries have urged Cooper to change the unhappy ending. One critic, for instance, writes: Every event as we go along points to a favourable termination, when just at the winding up, the design seems to be capriciously reversed, and [Cora and Uncas] are most summarily and unnecessarily disposed of. The vessel, having braved all the dangers of her voyage, sinks as she is floating into smooth water.3 1 Nina Baym, ‘The Women of Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales’, American Quarterly 23 (1971), p. 697. 2 Ibid., p. 698. 3 Unsigned review, The United States Literary Gazette, iv (May 1826), pp 87-94, reprinted in George Dekker and John P. McWilliams (eds.), Fenimore Cooper the Critical Heritage, Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1973, p. 100.

Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0 (A), University of Stuttgart (Institute for American Studies), language: English, abstract: Henry James was 35 years old in 1878 when he wrote "Daisy Miller". He was considered a celebrity in his home country America and also in England, which was later to become his second home. Not only was he successful in writing his novel, he also changed American literature with his masterpiece. Generations of literary critics have been dealing with "Daisy Miller" in terms of the creation of a new type of American female.1 In my paper I want to approach the novel a little differently by taking a closer look at the male protagonist Frederick Winterbourne. I would also like to take a closer look at the narrative perspective and the way Winterbourne is represented by it. Furthermore I am interested in the gender relationship between Daisy and Winterbourne and their attempts to find a way to get together. The problems arising from this, concerning Winterbourne, will lead me to the last topic, the crisis in American masculinity, the images of masculinity reflected in the novel and a way of creating a new identity of American men. A main problem is procrastination that keeps people from doing the right thing and developing as a person. Another thing I want to take a look at is the mystery Daisy as an American woman is for Winterbourne and how he deals with his insecurity. In fighting it he makes attempts to create his masculinity. James also intended to make his protagonists allegories of certain features in the American mentality and shows problems of American society in the 19th century. James takes an exemplary relationship by which he tries to depict the very tricky situation of America itself and gender-relation in America in those days. The young expatriate Winterbourne and his problems with his countrywoman Daisy Miller mirror the problematic situation of the nation. The way James employs shifts in his narration shows the reader how strange the situation is and somehow also comical. Winterbourne whose main interest is the innocence of Daisy is in bigger terms looking for America′s innocence that seemed to be lost after the end of the Civil War.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Freiburg (Englisches Seminar), course: Hauptseminar "American War Novel", 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The topic of this research paper is the absurd in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22. In the course of this paper I will show that Catch-22 belongs to the Literature of the Absurd, that Heller writes in the tradition of the absurd and that he uses absurdist techniques to describe his novel’s absurd and disjointed world. Yet the novel’s absurd vision differs radically from other literature of the absurd because instead of accepting the universe as absurd, Heller protests against the absurdity he describes. To support my thesis I will examine definitions and features of the Theatre of the Absurd and of the Literature of the Absurd and compare them to Catch-22. I will analyze the novel’s absurdist vision by looking at the absurdity of war, the absurdity of bureaucracy, absurdity of capitalism and at the famous catch-22. Further I will examine the failure of communication and the novel’s structure. To come to a valid conclusion I will then analyze the significance of absurdity in Catch-22. The Literature of the Absurd has its roots in the Theatre of the Absurd and the absurdist movement that emerged after World War II as a rebellion against traditional values and literature. Before the war it was commonly thought that man was a fairly rational creature who lives in an at least partly intelligible universe. It was believed that man was able to show heroism and dignity even in defeat. After the war then there was the tendency to view man as isolated and the universe as possessing no inherent truth, value or meaning. Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, for example viewed the human being as an isolated existent who is cast into an alien universe, to conceive the universe as possessing no inherent truth, value or meaning, and to represent human life – in its fruitless search for purpose and meaning, as it moves in the nothingness whence it came toward the nothingness where it must end – as an existence which is both anguished and absurd.1 1 M.

Originally published in 1964 by the Smithsonian Institution’s Bureau of American Ethnology, this book is a compilation of the ethnographic data on the seventeenth-century Huron Indians contained in The Jesuit Relations and in the writings of Samuel de Champlain and Gabriel Sagard. This study of the Hurons, who lived in the present province of Ontario, Canada, spans the period from 1615 to 1649, when they were defeated and dispersed by the Iroquois. Topics covered include dress, modes of travel, trade, war, sociopolitical organization, subsistence activities, and religious beliefs and practices. The book is invaluable for indicating the cultural similarities and differences between the Hurons and the neighboring Northern Iroquoian cultures and for documenting evidence of cultural change. This first paperback edition also includes a new introduction by the author, in which she brings her work up to date by surveying developments in the study of the Huron ethnography between 1964 and the present.
