In the center of study of American literary history is the critical discussion of American literature from colonial times to the present, including lyrical, dramatic and cinematic texts. Literary history and literary theory are to the historical, social and cultural conditions of their production and reception related. Particular attention is paid to the history and theory of gender-specific, national and ethnic identities, as the central aspects of American culture and society. Priorities in teaching and research are the American literature of the 19th, 20th and 21 Century, such as the American Renaissance, naturalism and realism, modernism and postmodernism, and ethnic and postcolonial literatures. This is a special research interest in the interactions of literature and culture as well as to become increasingly important areas of visual culture (painting, photography, film, TV and New Media) and the discourses on technology, architecture and space.
