| Course Overview |
Ernest Hemingway, the national writer of 20th-century America, is a crossover figure. Many of his works transcend the boundaries of literary genres and have been adapted into films. He himself became a motif in comics, and even inspired the character of Tyler Durden in the movie Fight Club (1999). Hemingway still embodies the essence of "America" and is often called "Papa." However, it is superficial to talk about Hemingway's "America" solely through motifs like war and boxing, which are considered "masculine." Beyond the surface of his works lies Hemingway's profound cultural and political insights, as well as his narrative techniques that captivate "American" readers. This course will analyze the "Americanness" intricately woven into Hemingway's early works, while also exploring the skillful political aspects of his works and the dynamic relationship between literature and politics. |
