Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.The course is designed to strengthen your argumentative writing in English. To this end we will deal with the basics of informallogic (critical thinking), English academic writing style, and the components of the argumentative essay: the design of theintroductory, main body, and concluding paragraphs. Naturally we hope the course will also deepen your English. At advancedlevels, language can only be deepened by using it to do challenging tasks - and few tasks are more challenging than writinggood argument. The number of participants in this course is limited to 20 students.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Improving your expression in and knowledge of English through intensive comparison and contrast with German: that is themain purpose of this course. Translation is a powerful tool for improving your proficiency because it uses your native language- your semantic bedrock that all your explorations in the second language build up from. Alan Duff: `Translation developsthree qualities essential to all language learning: flexibility, accuracy, and clarity. It trains the learner to search (flexibility)for the most appropriate words (accuracy) to convey what is meant (clarity).` You learn to think from words and structuresto meanings - translation sensitizes you to the nuances of style and meaning better than anything other language learningactivity. By contrasting the meanings of words and syntax, you can move away from literal (whatever that means!) translationsto meaning (whatever that is!). When you think about it, any real interaction with an author or a person speaking involves actsof translation - the deeper the engagement, the more challenging and fruitful the translation. The number of participants in thiscourse is limited to 20 students.

Kommentar

All through the 20 th century and beyond, British writers have been fascinated and inspired by the cultural, political andaesthetic radicalism and the multi-layered historical complications they perceived as typical of Berlin. Our seminar willaddress some of the most influential representations of Germany’s capital city in British writing from Christopher Isherwood’sdocumentary sketches of the last days of the Weimar Republic in his Goodbye to Berlin (1939) to Ian McEwan’s Cold War

espionage thriller The Innocent (1990) and Philipp Hensher’s fall-of-the-wall fantasy, Pleasured (1998). 21 st -centurygentrified and touristy Berlin will be addressed in our concluding analyses of Chloe Aridjis’s Book of Clouds (2009).

The seminar aims to produce a collaborative and interactive literary map of Berlin based on the representations of the cityin the four novels. The map will be worked out in cooperation with the university’s Digital Humanities Centre and, moreover,in collaboration with a group of peer students at the University of Delhi who will read the same novels as we do and willundertake a four-week field trip to Potsdam and Berlin in June, when they will also take part in our seminar sessions.

Links:


Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.The spread of English around the world has resulted in the evolution of phonologically diverse L1 and L2 varieties. In thecourse of this seminar, we will approach a number of these phonological systems from the perspective of inventories ofphonemes that are more or less characteristic for particular varieties as well as from the perspective of acoustic-phonetic casestudies of individual speakers. We will study both segmental and suprasegmental features in order to establish relations anddevelopmental parallels between varieties of English as well as variety-specific transfer phenomena and innovations inducedby, for example, language contact. Please note: Since this course will involve regular self-conducted phonological/phoneticanalyses, a basic degree of phonological/phonetic knowledge (i.e., the knowledge acquired during your BA introductorycourse) is required in order to participate in the course and in order to complete it successfully.

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.This seminar will focus on the historical development of the English vocabulary. Based on a theoretical description of theelements and their relation in the lexicon as well as of mechanisms of lexical and semantic change we will deal with theintake of words from other languages into the lexicon of English, the passing out of use of native words, semantic change,the problem of "hard words’ in English, etc. Another important topic will be the restructuring of word-formation patterns inthe history of English, e.g. the enormous productivity of compounding and derivation in Old English (lar-hus vs. school), thereplacement of prefixed verbs (utgan) by phrasal verbs (go out), the increasing productivity of zero-derivation (to bottle) inModern English etc.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.“It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.” (Eugene Ionescoin) Questions are an almost ubiquitous and somewhatinescapable component of much of our daily lives. Whether in everyday talk, in courtroom hearings, in lectures, seminarsand examinations, QUESTIONS ARE EVERYWHERE. You use them when texting your friends via WhatsApp on youriPhone, when beginning to flirt with your crush on a romantic occasion and to propose to him/her later on (if all goes well),or to demand explanations after a painful break-up (if all goes wrong). These few examples alone show that questions areperhaps the most powerful device that language provides us with for socially interacting with each other. In this course, we willexamine these powerful social objects. We will begin with really basic issues about their linguistic form, such as: - How do weform questions in English? - Which major types of questions exist/can we distinguish in English? - How do these types differfrom each other in terms of their syntactic and semantic features? We will then look at features that are taken to be typical ofquestions, such as a particular pitch movement or intonation (sometimes even straightforwardly called “question intonation”).Finally, we will try to take a more pragmatic perspective and see what we can DO with/by asking questions, what actionswe can perform with them? As you see, there are a number of questions about questions. It’s about time we address them,because "The only stupid question is the one that is not asked."

73490 S - Analyzing Communicative Genres


1 S Mi 10:00 - 12:00 wöch. 1.19.1.22 10.04.2019 Dr. Uwe-AlexanderKüttner

Links:


Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Note the following prerequisite: Because the notion of communicative genres (kommunikative Gattungen) has primarilybeen developed within a German research context, and because a great majority of the relevant literature has thereforebeen published in German, this course requires an ability and/or willingness to read German scientific texts, but to deal orengage with them in English. - The analysis of genres has a long-standing tradition in literary studies, where different typesof literary genres can be distinguished by reference to common features or distinctive characteristics. However, we cannotonly study literary texts in this way. With the concept of ‘communicative genres’ as developed by the American-Austriansociologist Thomas Luckmann we can try to capture communicative events more broadly in terms of common features anddistinctive characteristics, so that this notion can also be applied in the analysis of spoken discourse. The basic idea behindLuckmanns concept of communicative genres is that some forms of discourse have developed more or less stable patternswhich offer practical solutions to recurrent communicative tasks or social problems. Members of a culture or society generallyshare a stock of knowledge about these forms of discourse and about the ways in which they are organized. So our shared,tacit knowledge of communicative genres enables us to act appropriately in certain situations, and this facilitates solvingrecurrent tasks and problems in the society at large. As social scientists, we can analyze and describe these relatively stableor patterned forms of discourse to improve our understanding of how communicative action is organized in any given society.In this course, we will explore the notion of communicative genres in more detail and learn how to analyze and describe them(from a linguistic perspective).

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.The English language has changed dramatically over the past six to seven hundred years. Throughout history, people noticedthat language, like everything else, is in a continuous state of change. Thus, from its beginning, linguistics has been looking atlanguage change. In this class we will therefore look at the various theories, which have been proposed to explain languagechange. We will also discuss language-external (e.g. language contact) and lan-guage-internal (e.g., structural instability)motivations for language change and look at spe-cific manifestations of language change at all levels of linguistic description,i.e., phonological, grammatical, semantic and pragmatic changes. At the end of term, we will hopefully be equipped with thenecessary knowledge to sensibly discuss the question put forward by Jean Aitchison (2001), as to whether language changeis to be seen as progress or as decay.

Veranstaltungsort: 01.09.2.04

Kommentar

In literature and computer games maps are schematic models of the world. They provide orientation and establish complexinterfaces with the real world. In fact, many fictional environments of both games and literature are based on spatial structuresthat can be topographical as well as topological. As a cooperation between the Institute of English/ American Studies and theInstitute of European Media Studies at Potsdam University, this joint seminar will explore, discuss and reflect representationsof space as well as manifestations of cartographic knowledge within games and literature. In a critical approach to the field ofthe Digital Humanities, we will also probe the potential and usability of digital cartographic tools for the study and teaching ofgames and literature.

The seminar will be taught by Dr.Dennis Mischke (IAA), Dr. Sebastian Möring (EMW).

Kommentar

From Benjamin Franklin’s Lightening Rod to the intrepid digital inventions of Silicon Valley, high-technology has always beenpart and parcel of North American culture and its self-understanding. By the same token, the narratives of technologicalprogress and solution-based development were also deeply entangled with the cultural histories of modernity, colonialismand globalization. This seminar will trace the history of technology in the anglophone world - especially in North America - andwill inquire into the cultural ramifications of the endless technological journey to perfection and improvement. Beginning withthe ingenuity of (post)colonial American forefathers such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, we will discuss LeoMarx' famous concept of the ”Machine in the Garden”, the processes of industrialization as well as the digital transformationincluding the new field of "digital humanities". A previous knowledge of Science and Technology Studies is helpful but not aprerequisite.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Intercultural Communication represents an interdisciplinary field of study. However, as far as linguistic studies are concerned,until today, it is still a minority of researchers who restrict their attention to the communicative actions which co-participantsthemselves display in multimodal ways. The aim of this block seminar is to identify how such an approach can be applied.For this purpose, we will bring together modules from conversation analysis, intercultural pragmatics, as well as cognitiveand cultural linguistics. Based on concrete multimodal analysis of interactional sequences, the students learn to analyze howmeaning is co-constructed in intercultural communication. Additionally, they will also be introduced to the means by whichexperiences of alterity are negotiated and categorized (self)reflexively on verbal, prosodic and corporal planes during talk-in-interaction.

Kommentar

Our course focuses on the collection of Australian flora and fauna for German research institutions in the 19 th century. We willtry to map the historical, interpersonal and geopolitical contexts that brought these natural history specimens to places suchas Berlin’s Natural History Museum and the Botanic Garden. Why and how were these objects obtained, and how did theircollection and scientific analysis impact on the history of science? What is the scientific, social and political relevance of theseobjects today?

Important: This is a research-intensive course that requires students to manage high reading loads and to conductindependent research in one of Berlin’s research institutions. Knowledge of German is mandatory.

Leistungsnachweis

TESTAT: Students will prepare brief discussion papers on course readings (2 pages) and submit an independent researchreport.














73554 S - Contested Endeavours: Remembering Cooks First Voyage of Exploration



Links:


Kommentar

250 years ago, in August 1768, HMS Endeavour set sail for what would become James Cook’s first voyage round theworld. It was one of several consecutive European ventures into the Pacific, undertaken at a time when competitive Britishand French imperial expansion was being rebranded as scientific as well as philanthropic endeavour. Along the route, theEndeavour’s crew spent extended periods of time in the Society Islands, observing the transit of Venus, as well as recordingdetailed information about their interactions with local communities. Further down the track, the ship’s officers continued theirobservations while charting, and partly claiming possession of, Aotearoa New Zealand and the East Coast of the Australiancontinent. In each of these locations, the repercussions of this voyage are felt to this day. Our course will focus on the difficultlegacy of the Endeavour’s voyage and address the range of commemorative events – celebratory as well as antagonistic,settler colonial as well as Indigenous – that are scheduled for 2019 and 2020.

Leistungsnachweis

Testat: Students are expected to prepare brief discussion handouts (2 pages) and a response paper of 800 words.

Whereas the topic of death has been a continuous aestheticand existential focus of art, literature and philosophy, dying has been approached from a number of different disciplinaryperspectives since the second half of the twentieth century. In this seminar we will explore various aspects of death, dying andgrief in their representation in autobiographical life writing, fiction and film. These include the relational perspective on dying,the concepts of the posthuman, biopower and necropolitics, the deconstructionist and performative view of death and dying,as well as literary and psychological approaches to grief and mourning.

MA Seminar - Childhood, queered

Alongside race, gender, and sexuality, age is one of the defining aspects of an individual’s subjectivity and identity, but it has,until recently, been neglected by scholars working within the cultural studies. Taking an intersectional approach, this courseconsiders the recent turn to childhood within recent theoretical work, most notably queer studies, and charts how the socialand ideological construct of childhood has operated as a normative category in the establishment of unequal social relations.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Since the last decade of the twentieth century, scholars have begun to examine the various ways in which political, economicand cultural transformations have been changing the realm of the social in terms of affect, that is, in terms of visceralforces that exist beneath, alongside, or generally other than conscious knowing but that can nevertheless drive us towardsmovement, thought, and constantly changing forms of relation. Over the course of this block seminar students will examinea range of theories from scholars working in the field of affect studies alongside novels and poems that all, in various ways,focus on the non-linguistic, corporeal and performative aspects of communication, thus compelling a radical reconsiderationof the ways in which we understand being and knowledge as something distinctly human. Students will analyse the ways inwhich literatures and theories of affect attempt to recalibrate relations between the organic body and the non-organic, betweenequilibrium-seeking closed systems to open systems of flux and flow, between criticism that is based on the subject as thecentral organising point of consciousness and knowing to one that engages with fields of information as process, and finally,between the human and the nonhuman. Note: this course will be run as a block seminar over one week (five days). Eachday will be divided into three seminars, with a short break between the first two seminars and a longer lunch break before thefinal seminar of each day. The first seminar of each day comprises a lecture and discussion on a key theory. In the secondseminar, students will discuss a poem, a film scene or a dance performance in terms of the key theory. The final seminar ofeach day will be devoted to a critical analysis of one of the set primary texts.

Kommentar


Food is a basic need for human survival, but its presence in our quotidian lives is intriguingly complex. We cut, cook, andserve; we revere, refuse, and throw away; we enjoy, revolt, and tolerate. Our expectations are (inevitably?) formed throughculture: The borders of what is, what could be, and what can’t be food, intersect with practices of consumption and identity.

This seminar will look at a variety of texts to trace various meanings of food, including cooking shows, recipes, restaurantmenus, film, fiction, advertisement, life writing and critical essays. We will potentially broach issues as disparate as waste,gender, ethnicity, ethics, habitus, religion, authenticity, hybridity, globalisation, environmentalism, precarity, nation, and ahost of others. This seminar will be project-based, and all members (including the lecturer!) will be developing, researching,presenting and revising their work throughout the semester.

Students are required to come to class with an expectation of lively and yet respectful discussion, and prepared to participatein discussion themselves. A reader will be developed in the first weeks of the semester pending the specific interests of theseminar members and then made accessible to the group.

Which differences are there between mails among friends and mailing list communication? Is blogging the same as writinginto a personal diary? Why do people prefer voice messaging over text messaging these days? How does mobile phonecommunication change our way to engage in face-to-face-interaction? These (and other) questions mark the beginning of aseries of questions we are going to discuss in this TEFL seminar.The seminar will deal with the question: ”Which new genres – based on computer-mediated communication – are therenowadays and how might they change the way we teach foreign languages?”Students are invited to analyse different (computer-mediated) communicative situations and present their findings in short(in-class) presentations. Based on these presentations all participants of the seminar are going to develop ideas for theapplication of these (new?) communicative practices in the EFL classroom. (2 LP)

Text competence plays a decisive role for academic and professional success. Text competence comprises a myriad ofabilities and competences, all relating to reading, producing and understanding texts. Since these are so essential, theydeserve further investigation, giving rise to questions, such as: How do these competences develop? Can they be divided intosub-competences? Can they be taught? Can they be measured? The course will cover key issues relating to the developmentand analysis of receptive and productive EFL text competences as well as models and findings on literacy and text genres.

Course Description

Drawing on several SLA hypotheses and evidence from various studies in the field of language education, the goal of thiscourse is to solidify a foundation for teaching in the EFL classroom. We will consider perspectives and applications for bothprimary and secondary English language teaching. We will look at classroom phenomena such as teacher-student interaction,corrective feedback, teacher language, teacher questions, motivating students to participate and produce output, the varyingof methods and social forms, as well as other factors that contribute to effective foreign language instruction in the targetlanguage. Practical applications in instruction giving and task-based language teaching will round out the seminar.

Issues such as facilitating communicative competencein English language learners require exploration of ways to assess learners’ language skills through tools such as ActionResearch, ethnography, case studies etc. Diagnosing students’ language prerequisites then serves to explore ways topromote language learners’ oral skills through use of multiple media representations (e.g. texts, videos, music, pictures etc.)according to curriculum standards. Apart from CLT theory, the class will also allow for iterative exploration of these theories inpractice in so-called Microteaching sessions. Theory-based reflections will support these semi-authentic field explorations.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.The spread of English around the world has resulted in the evolution of phonologically diverse L1 and L2 varieties. In thecourse of this seminar, we will approach a number of these phonological systems from the perspective of inventories ofphonemes that are more or less characteristic for particular varieties as well as from the perspective of acoustic-phonetic casestudies of individual speakers. We will study both segmental and suprasegmental features in order to establish relations anddevelopmental parallels between varieties of English as well as variety-specific transfer phenomena and innovations inducedby, for example, language contact. Please note: Since this course will involve regular self-conducted phonological/phoneticanalyses, a basic degree of phonological/phonetic knowledge (i.e., the knowledge acquired during your BA introductorycourse) is required in order to participate in the course and in order to complete it successfully.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.“It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.” (Eugene Ionescoin) Questions are an almost ubiquitous and somewhatinescapable component of much of our daily lives. Whether in everyday talk, in courtroom hearings, in lectures, seminarsand examinations, QUESTIONS ARE EVERYWHERE. You use them when texting your friends via WhatsApp on youriPhone, when beginning to flirt with your crush on a romantic occasion and to propose to him/her later on (if all goes well),or to demand explanations after a painful break-up (if all goes wrong). These few examples alone show that questions areperhaps the most powerful device that language provides us with for socially interacting with each other. In this course, we willexamine these powerful social objects. We will begin with really basic issues about their linguistic form, such as: - How do weform questions in English? - Which major types of questions exist/can we distinguish in English? - How do these types differfrom each other in terms of their syntactic and semantic features? We will then look at features that are taken to be typical ofquestions, such as a particular pitch movement or intonation (sometimes even straightforwardly called “question intonation”).Finally, we will try to take a more pragmatic perspective and see what we can DO with/by asking questions, what actionswe can perform with them? As you see, there are a number of questions about questions. It’s about time we address them,because "The only stupid question is the one that is not asked."

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Note the following prerequisite: Because the notion of communicative genres (kommunikative Gattungen) has primarilybeen developed within a German research context, and because a great majority of the relevant literature has thereforebeen published in German, this course requires an ability and/or willingness to read German scientific texts, but to deal orengage with them in English. - The analysis of genres has a long-standing tradition in literary studies, where different typesof literary genres can be distinguished by reference to common features or distinctive characteristics. However, we cannotonly study literary texts in this way. With the concept of ‘communicative genres’ as developed by the American-Austriansociologist Thomas Luckmann we can try to capture communicative events more broadly in terms of common features anddistinctive characteristics, so that this notion can also be applied in the analysis of spoken discourse. The basic idea behindLuckmanns concept of communicative genres is that some forms of discourse have developed more or less stable patternswhich offer practical solutions to recurrent communicative tasks or social problems. Members of a culture or society generallyshare a stock of knowledge about these forms of discourse and about the ways in which they are organized. So our shared,tacit knowledge of communicative genres enables us to act appropriately in certain situations, and this facilitates solvingrecurrent tasks and problems in the society at large. As social scientists, we can analyze and describe these relatively stableor patterned forms of discourse to improve our understanding of how communicative action is organized in any given society.In this course, we will explore the notion of communicative genres in more detail and learn how to analyze and describe them(from a linguistic perspective).

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.The English language has changed dramatically over the past six to seven hundred years. Throughout history, people noticedthat language, like everything else, is in a continuous state of change. Thus, from its beginning, linguistics has been looking atlanguage change. In this class we will therefore look at the various theories, which have been proposed to explain languagechange. We will also discuss language-external (e.g. language contact) and lan-guage-internal (e.g., structural instability)motivations for language change and look at spe-cific manifestations of language change at all levels of linguistic description,i.e., phonological, grammatical, semantic and pragmatic changes. At the end of term, we will hopefully be equipped with thenecessary knowledge to sensibly discuss the question put forward by Jean Aitchison (2001), as to whether language changeis to be seen as progress or as decay.

However, as far as linguistic studies are concerned,until today, it is still a minority of researchers who restrict their attention to the communicative actions which co-participantsthemselves display in multimodal ways. The aim of this block seminar is to identify how such an approach can be applied.For this purpose, we will bring together modules from conversation analysis, intercultural pragmatics, as well as cognitiveand cultural linguistics. Based on concrete multimodal analysis of interactional sequences, the students learn to analyze howmeaning is co-constructed in intercultural communication. Additionally, they will also be introduced to the means by whichexperiences of alterity are negotiated and categorized (self)reflexively on verbal, prosodic and corporal planes during talk-in-interaction.

All through the 20 th century and beyond, British writers have been fascinated and inspired by the cultural, political andaesthetic radicalism and the multi-layered historical complications they perceived as typical of Berlin. Our seminar willaddress some of the most influential representations of Germany’s capital city in British writing from Christopher Isherwood’sdocumentary sketches of the last days of the Weimar Republic in his Goodbye to Berlin (1939) to Ian McEwan’s Cold War

espionage thriller The Innocent (1990) and Philipp Hensher’s fall-of-the-wall fantasy, Pleasured (1998). 21 st -centurygentrified and touristy Berlin will be addressed in our concluding analyses of Chloe Aridjis’s Book of Clouds (2009).

The seminar aims to produce a collaborative and interactive literary map of Berlin based on the representations of the cityin the four novels. The map will be worked out in cooperation with the university’s Digital Humanities Centre and, moreover,in collaboration with a group of peer students at the University of Delhi who will read the same novels as we do and willundertake a four-week field trip to Potsdam and Berlin in June, when they will also take part in our seminar sessions.

In literature and computer games maps are schematic models of the world. They provide orientation and establish complexinterfaces with the real world. In fact, many fictional environments of both games and literature are based on spatial structuresthat can be topographical as well as topological. As a cooperation between the Institute of English/ American Studies and theInstitute of European Media Studies at Potsdam University, this joint seminar will explore, discuss and reflect representationsof space as well as manifestations of cartographic knowledge within games and literature. In a critical approach to the field ofthe Digital Humanities, we will also probe the potential and usability of digital cartographic tools for the study and teaching ofgames and literature.

From Benjamin Franklin’s Lightening Rod to the intrepid digital inventions of Silicon Valley, high-technology has always beenpart and parcel of North American culture and its self-understanding. By the same token, the narratives of technologicalprogress and solution-based development were also deeply entangled with the cultural histories of modernity, colonialismand globalization. This seminar will trace the history of technology in the anglophone world - especially in North America - andwill inquire into the cultural ramifications of the endless technological journey to perfection and improvement. Beginning withthe ingenuity of (post)colonial American forefathers such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, we will discuss LeoMarx' famous concept of the ”Machine in the Garden”, the processes of industrialization as well as the digital transformationincluding the new field of "digital humanities". A previous knowledge of Science and Technology Studies is helpful but not aprerequisite.

73554 S - Contested Endeavours: Remembering Cooks First Voyage of Exploration



Links:










Kommentar

250 years ago, in August 1768, HMS Endeavour set sail for what would become James Cook’s first voyage round theworld. It was one of several consecutive European ventures into the Pacific, undertaken at a time when competitive Britishand French imperial expansion was being rebranded as scientific as well as philanthropic endeavour. Along the route, theEndeavour’s crew spent extended periods of time in the Society Islands, observing the transit of Venus, as well as recordingdetailed information about their interactions with local communities. Further down the track, the ship’s officers continued theirobservations while charting, and partly claiming possession of, Aotearoa New Zealand and the East Coast of the Australiancontinent. In each of these locations, the repercussions of this voyage are felt to this day. Our course will focus on the difficultlegacy of the Endeavour’s voyage and address the range of commemorative events – celebratory as well as antagonistic,settler colonial as well as Indigenous – that are scheduled for 2019 and 2020.

Leistungsnachweis

Testat: Students are expected to prepare brief discussion handouts (2 pages) and a response paper of 800 words.

Kommentar

Für weitere Informationen zum Kommentar, zur Literatur und zum Leistungsnachweis klicken Sie bitte oben auf den Link"Kommentar".Since the mid-twentieth century, the end of life has increasingly been determined by medical and legal discourse whichreplaced the religious and social meaning of death and dying. Whereas the topic of death has been a continuous aestheticand existential focus of art, literature and philosophy, dying has been approached from a number of different disciplinaryperspectives since the second half of the twentieth century. In this seminar we will explore various aspects of death, dying andgrief in their representation in autobiographical life writing, fiction and film. These include the relational perspective on dying,the concepts of the posthuman, biopower and necropolitics, the deconstructionist and performative view of death and dying,as well as literary and psychological approaches to grief and mourning.

MA Seminar - Childhood, queered

Alongside race, gender, and sexuality, age is one of the defining aspects of an individual’s subjectivity and identity, but it has,until recently, been neglected by scholars working within the cultural studies. Taking an intersectional approach, this courseconsiders the recent turn to childhood within recent theoretical work, most notably queer studies, and charts how the socialand ideological construct of childhood has operated as a normative category in the establishment of unequal social relations.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Since the last decade of the twentieth century, scholars have begun to examine the various ways in which political, economicand cultural transformations have been changing the realm of the social in terms of affect, that is, in terms of visceralforces that exist beneath, alongside, or generally other than conscious knowing but that can nevertheless drive us towardsmovement, thought, and constantly changing forms of relation. Over the course of this block seminar students will examinea range of theories from scholars working in the field of affect studies alongside novels and poems that all, in various ways,focus on the non-linguistic, corporeal and performative aspects of communication, thus compelling a radical reconsiderationof the ways in which we understand being and knowledge as something distinctly human. Students will analyse the ways inwhich literatures and theories of affect attempt to recalibrate relations between the organic body and the non-organic, betweenequilibrium-seeking closed systems to open systems of flux and flow, between criticism that is based on the subject as thecentral organising point of consciousness and knowing to one that engages with fields of information as process, and finally,between the human and the nonhuman. Note: this course will be run as a block seminar over one week (five days). Eachday will be divided into three seminars, with a short break between the first two seminars and a longer lunch break before thefinal seminar of each day. The first seminar of each day comprises a lecture and discussion on a key theory. In the secondseminar, students will discuss a poem, a film scene or a dance performance in terms of the key theory. The final seminar ofeach day will be devoted to a critical analysis of one of the set primary texts.

Set Texts: • Djuna Barnes. Nightwood • Anne Carson. Autobiography of Red • John Berger. King • Morgan Yasbincek. liv •Sam Mendes, dir. American Beauty (film) NB: Course readings will be made available on Moodle prior to the beginning ofsemester.

Kommentar


Food is a basic need for human survival, but its presence in our quotidian lives is intriguingly complex. We cut, cook, andserve; we revere, refuse, and throw away; we enjoy, revolt, and tolerate. Our expectations are (inevitably?) formed throughculture: The borders of what is, what could be, and what can’t be food, intersect with practices of consumption and identity.

This seminar will look at a variety of texts to trace various meanings of food, including cooking shows, recipes, restaurantmenus, film, fiction, advertisement, life writing and critical essays. We will potentially broach issues as disparate as waste,gender, ethnicity, ethics, habitus, religion, authenticity, hybridity, globalisation, environmentalism, precarity, nation, and ahost of others. This seminar will be project-based, and all members (including the lecturer!) will be developing, researching,presenting and revising their work throughout the semester.

Students are required to come to class with an expectation of lively and yet respectful discussion, and prepared to participatein discussion themselves. A reader will be developed in the first weeks of the semester pending the specific interests of theseminar members and then made accessible to the group.
