01: Beyond Maps
-
Hauptschule
Seminar
/
in englischer SpracheMaps have many dimensions – physical, spiritual and psychological. Our maps are our birthrights: some of us remain limited to our time and place, while others move beyond such limits. Some nations overflow their borders while others seek to enforce their walls. This literature seminar, taught jointly by a cultural historian and a novelist, will pose the question of how to chart our future if we accept that the comprehensive mapmaking project of the European Enlightenment has failed.
