Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Erfurt (Philosopische Fakultat), course: Literature in Images: Graphic Novels, language: English, abstract: This work analyzes the perception of authencity in "e;Fun Home"e;. Alison Bechdel's "e;Fun Home"e; from 2007 is a graphic memoir that tries to create a sense of truthfulness to the reality of the author's memories by employing various means. This paper examines the techniques Bechdel uses for the creation of what may look for the reader like authenticity. By using for example Philippe Lejeune's autobiographical pact the text closely analyzes the presentation of text and image concerning the protagonist Alison and the narrating voice as well as the role of photographs in the text. By investigating the protagonists self-portrayal through text and images this paper tries to point out the successfulness of appearing truth of the story as well as distinguish in which instance a disruption of before identified means in form of fictionalization can be found in the text and how this influences the perception of its authenticity. The second part of the paper then focuses on photography as another means to invoke a perception of truthfulness in the text with special attention to photography as means of memory and truth, based on theories by Roland Barthes and Marianne Hirsch as well as its possible fictionalization through the confines of the graphic novel genre and its significance in relation to the text s authenticity.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,3, University of Erfurt (Philosopische Fakultat), course: Harlem Renaissance, language: English, abstract: This paper investigates a possible definition of a Black Aesthetic in the Harlem Renaissance with regard to literature in order to reevaluate the achievements of this literary flourishing. Close reading of two major influential works during the second phase of the "e;Talented Tenth"e; from 1924 to 1926 identify the crucial points of this Black Aesthetic. The analysis of two poems by African American writers such as Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes during this phase will show whether the theoretical ideas of the Harlem Renaissance forethinkers were actually incorparated into a daily artistic praxis. Sixty years after the abolition of slavery in the USA African Americans established a political and artistic community in Harlem that produced one of the most productive intellectual flourishing in African American history, the Harlem Renaissance. One of its goals was to create a sense of Black cultural identity through art.
