We will examine the history and culture of the denomination “white trash” from its origins in the mid-nineteenth century America to the present. We will study the historical articulation of “white trash” as a category of exclusion embedded in the particular American experience and we will trace its global circulation and re-emergence in the global south. In the last decades, studies on whiteness have expanded their scope and one of their most important contributions is the analysis of white trash culture. The seminar will examine works by literary writers from the U.S. and the global south, as well as, works by sociologists, historians, and cultural critics of trash. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
