Afghanistan has been a place of war and mystery for many decades now. Since few people dare to travel there, travel literature about this country is in high demand. We will have a look at the historical relationship between the British Empire and Afghanistan, and examine – mainly journalistic – travel books about the country, and how narrating Afghanistan changed with every new war in the region. A brief introduction to Afghanistan and its culture will be part of the seminar as well. Literature will be made available in our first session. |
