Anybody interested in reading and discussing Shakespeare is very welcome, regardless of their course of studies.
You need not register for this course, just come along in the first session and bring a copy of the plays.
- Inhalt:
- William Shakespeare's works are well know, or should be well known, to all students of English literature. However, when reading Shakespeare some people struggle to fully appreciate his language or his brilliantly designed characters.
This course aims at all of those students who would like to enjoy Shakespeare's works together with other students. Thus, we will not only read two pieces by Shakespeare, one comedy and one tragedy, we will also provide a platform for discussion or even stage a few scenes to further our understanding of what is going on.
If you want to join us, you need not have any previous knowledge, only bring a copy of the play and comfortable shoes.

Students will first revise basic terminology for the analysis of poems, narrative and dramatic texts and receive an overview of literary history. After that, each session will be dedicated to one set of "Staatsexamen" questions from previous years. The range of topics (e.g. "Thema 1: Dramatische Texte der Renaissance," "Thema 6: Narrative und expositorische Texte des 19. Jahrhunderts" etc.) will depend on the participants' interest. (Before the beginning of the semester, I will invite all participants to take part in a poll in order to find out which topics ["Körbe"] they want to prepare for their "Staatsexamen.")

- Inhalt:
- This course is addressed at students who are preparing or working at a final thesis in English or American Literature, be it a "Magisterarbeit", "Zulassungsarbeit", "BA-Arbeit" or Master's thesis. It is supposed to offer continuous support to students while preparing or writing their theses, and to give them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with other students. The course consists of plenary and individual sessions. A definite schedule will be set up in the first meeting of the class. There will be a site on the Virtual Campus; access will be given upon registration.
In the plenary sessions, we shall discuss general formal aspects and criteria of a thesis - such as possible topics, structure, suitable theoretical approaches. Participants will present (parts of) their thesis, offering it for discussion and feedback. The individual sessions consist of one-to-one tutorials in which you can discuss the argument, the progress and possible problems of your thesis with me. For students in the BA, MA and new teacher training programmes, who write their thesis in literary studies, this course provides the "Betreuungsübung". The presentation of the thesis in a plenary session (max. 30 minutes) will be graded and counts as "mündliche Modulteilprüfung" in the BA-programme. Students in the Magister- and old teacher training programmes are advised to take this course to support them while writing their theses. Depending on the native tongue of the participants, the course will be given in English or German.
The course will be taught every two weeks, with individual meetings in the weeks where we will have no common session.

- Inhalt:
- In this seminar we will study trends and schools in literary theory since the 1950s.
We may discuss key texts by thinkers identified with formalism and structuralism, deconstruction and poststructuralism, gender studies and queer theory, psychoanalytical criticism, (Neo)Marxism and Cultural Materialism, New Historicism, postcolonial criticism and reader-response theory.
Depending on the participants personal interests, we may also consider more recent approaches like ecocriticism and possible-worlds theory or less "canonized" theories (e.g. systems theory).
The course is intended to assist students in both finding own approaches towards primary texts and in identifying mind-sets and methods applied in the secondary sources they read in their other seminars: "What theory demonstrates [...] is that there is no position free of theory, not even the one called common sense" (V. B. Leitch).

- Inhalt:
- When HBO decided in 2015 to turn Michael Crichton’s Westworld into a television series with Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy as producers and writers, AI was by no means a groundbreaking or new concept. Rather, the series took the premise of Crichton’s screenplay from 1973 and turned it upside down. What if we as humans actually root for the very thing that wants to kill us? Sam Harris, neuroscientist and philosopher, argues that it’s simply enjoyable to think about, getting killed by an AI; that “death by sci-fi is fun”. The last decades have seen a rise in narratives that focus on the relationship between humans and AIs but even though a high number of those narratives feature AI as a menace, movies like Spike Jonze’s Her or Disney’s Big Hero 6 reveal a different side to what Harris calls “humanity’s biggest threat.”
In this class, we will analyse how AI is portrayed in literature, movies and TV series and observe how humanity constructs itself and the corresponding AI.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Obligatory Reading:
Isaac Asimov – various short stories from his Robot series
Philip K. Dick – Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968)

- Inhalt:
- This course is designed specifically for students of all teaching degrees ("Lehrämter") who prepare for the 3-hour written "Staatsexamen" in American Literature according to the new LPO. However, students preparing other final exams - oral or written - are very welcome, too.
The "Repetitorum" is a class designed to assist students in their preparations for the final written exam. The class, however, does NOT substitute each student s individual study time! During class, students will receive immediate feedback about their level of preparation for the final exam. The most important aim of this class, however, is to provide participants with a platform to discuss complex issues, rather than particular details of one certain topic. Once again: the class aims to assist students in their preparations, but it does NOT replace independent study!
The topics for this semester will be chosen by the class participants themselves during the first session.
Please note: The course will be held in German.

- Inhalt:
- This course aims to assist students in writing their first term paper in literary or cultural studies in Bamberg. We will discuss general formal aspects and content related criteria of an academic paper, such as possible topics, structure, suitable theoretical approaches. Primarily, however, we will practice how to choose a topic, how to develop a coherent structure, how to involve theoretical frameworks, and how to adhere to the MLA citation rules. Finally, we will discuss the different types of source material that are suitable for the list of references of your paper. Students have the chance to present a provisional outline in a closed discussion forum, where they will receive feedback from fellow students and the instructor.
This course is also addressed at students who are preparing or working at a BA-thesis in American Literature or Culture. Therefore, this course provides the guidance sessions for the BA thesis (Betreuungsübung) for students in the BA programs who write their thesis in literary or cultural studies. It assists students in the preparation of their final paper, and gives them an opportunity to discuss their work with other students. BA-candidates will present parts of their final paper, offering it for discussion and feedback. If you are planning to attend this class, make sure that the instructor will also be your thesis advisor. Please contact Ms. Konopka well in advance to discuss your topic and the requirements for the supervision.
Please note that this is a practical training course and not a lecture! You will be expected to participate in the tasks and discussions.

- Inhalt:
- In this seminar we will study trends and schools in literary theory since the 1950s. Our reading will be chosen from the key texts by thinkers identified with formalism and structuralism, deconstruction and poststructuralism, gender studies and queer theory, psychoanalytical criticism, (Neo-)Marxism and Cultural Materialism, New Historicism, postcolonial criticism and reader-response theory. Depending on the participants research interests and input, we may also consider more recent approaches like ecocriticism and possible-worlds theory, or less "canonized" theories (e.g. systems theory).
The course is intended to assist students in both finding their own approaches towards primary texts and in identifying mind-sets and methods applied in the secondary sources they read in their other seminars: "What theory demonstrates [...] is that there is no position free of theory, not even the one called common sense." (V. B. Leitch).
This class is based not only on the reading, but also the in depth analysis of theoretical writing. Therefore, students are expected to prepare diligently for each session by (1) reading the assigned text(s), (2) studying each text's background/context, and (3) establishing some basic understanding of the theory discussed in the respective text before coming to class! Only then will it be possible for us to engage in critical discussion during our sessions. In sum, it is important for participants to do the assigned reading, attend all sessions and contribute to class discussions. Your input is mandatory and will be welcome!
A course reader will be made available for students of this class after the first session, when the reading list has been agreed upon.

- Inhalt:
- The period in American history that began with the minority election of Abraham Lincoln and ended shortly before the First World War was a time defined by contrasts: glorification of the past and celebration of progress; ruthless individualism and growing social consciousness; liberation from literary conventions and longing for acceptance by the literary establishment.
This class will focus on the portrayal and critical evaluation of social circumstances in the US in literary texts of the time. Students will learn about the American socialist movement, as well as the struggle to implement community-oriented values in a society that, although it believes "that all men are created equal," puts a lot of emphasis on personal freedom and everyone’s right to his/her distinct pursuit of happiness.
We will consult a variety of texts, ranging from novels, shorts stories and poems to pamphlets and party programs.
ATTENTION: This is a READING class! Participants must be able to read and review quite a lot of material between the weekly sessions. The class is also designed to assist you with the reading list of the American Studies Section and aims to contribute to your understanding of key narratives of North American literature. Most of the material will be provided via the Virtual Campus ahead of each session. Students are, however, required to purchase some texts (see list below) before the beginning of the semester – either in print or as e-book. Make sure that you order your copy of the books well in advance!
It is important for participants to do the assignments, attend class regularly, and actively contribute to class discussions. You are welcome to bring in materials from outside of class (newspaper articles, handouts etc.) and you can also plan class room activities e.g. mock debates. Your input is welcome!
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Books to purchase by each participant:
- Rebecca Harding Davis, Life in the Iron Mills (1861) - preferably the Feminist Press edition
- Jacob Riis, How the Other Half Lives (1890) - preferably the Norton Critical Edition

- Inhalt:
- This lecture surveys the literature and culture of the Jewish community in America from colonial times to the present. After critically examining the terms Jewish, Jewish literature and Jewish culture, the lecture provides a historical overview of the major phases of Jewish immigration to America. We will then study landmarks of Jewish-American literature in their respective cultural contexts. A particular focus will be on novels and short stories that deal with characteristic Jewish experiences of the last 120 years. Whether they concentrate on the problems of adapting to new physical, social and cultural surroundings in the wake of immigration, lament the disintegration of familial and religious securities, or reflect upon the horrors of persecution and annihilation, most of these works negotiate the meaning of Jewish identity in modern times. Further social and cultural issues addressed in the lecture include the branches of Judaism in America, Jewish politics and organizations, music and arts, the media and popular culture, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, and Israel.

- Inhalt:
- In a conversation with Murdock, Campbell affirms that the heroine
has no active role in the hero’s journey:
“In the whole mythological tradition the woman is there. All she has to
do is realise that she’s the place that people are trying to get to.
When a woman realises what her wonderful character is, she’s not
going to get messed up with the notion of being pseudo-male”.
Although rather misogynistic, this might have been true regarding ancient
myths, but modern and contemporary literature show female
characters actively pursuing their heroic paths. For instance, Alcott’s
Jo March in Little Women, a 15-year-old girl who struggles with and
defies society's expectations of how women in the 19th century
should behave; or Hardy’s Bathsheba Everdene in Far from the
Madding Crowd who is considered as one of the foremothers of great
women in literature.
The perspective and plot has also switched angles, portraying fully
realised female characters and their complex path of healing and
achieving their goals. Take as an example the drastic plot change in
Walt Disney’s princess movies. The protagonists are no longer
damsels in distress in desperate need of rescue such as Cinderella,
Aurora, or Snow White. Instead, it focuses on their growth and maturing,
their intimate relationship with the feminine and a mother figure,
and the healing (or support) provided by other women. Elsa and
Anna, Moana and Merida are just a few examples of Disney’s new
angle on their princesses.
This class will focus on Campbell and Murdock’s models and attempt
to find common ground, reshape or merge the positive aspects within
both. It will also pay special attention to two stages of the heroine’s
journey: Meeting with the Goddess and Healing the Mother-Daughter
Split.

Thomas Hardy. Far from the Madding Crowd

- Inhalt:
- It was a Thursday when Kazuo Ishiguro accepted his Nobel Prize for literature. In his speech, he recounts how he became an author, how his childhood in Japan formed his identity as a writer and how important it is to always keep an open mind. The board of the committee deigned Ishiguro to be a writer "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world". Indeed, the novels of Kazuo Ishiguro are filled to be the brim with issues of identity, and the question what is right and what is wrong.
This seminar serves as an introduction to Ishiguro s works and the resulting issues. The participants are expected to have read at the beginning of the semester:
A Pale View of Hills (1982)
Never Let Me Go (2005)
The Buried Giant (2015)

- Inhalt:
- Graveyards in literature have a variety of functions and can be the location of quite unexpected activities. Apart from (quite customary and obvious) reflections on the ephemeral nature of life, mortality and death, while reading the texts for this class, we might come across the occasional close encounter with ghosts (such as in Dickens A Christmas Carol), but it is usually the living who tend to do really messy things in cemeteries.
From making out on a former lover s tomb, to an unlikely fight between scholars on a writer s grave, we will encounter a wide range of quite unforgettable literary moments. Cemeteries and tombs can be the place of separation, but adjacent tombs can also lead to unforeseen friendship, as is the case in Tracy Chevalier s Falling Angels.
Some cemeteries have more stories to tell than others, like the churchyard of St. Pancras Old Church with Thomas Hardy s tree; Edinburgh s Greyfriars Kirkyard with its many familiar names, legends and mortsafes, and the Victorian Highgate Cemetery in London, featured in Audrey Niffenegger s Her Fearful Symmetry and Tracy Chevalier s Falling Angels.
In this class we will explore some classics of Graveyard Poetry, such as Robert Blair s The Grave, Edward Young s Night-Thoughts (also in William Blake s illustrated version), Thomas Gray s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, as well as a selection of Thomas Hardy s poetry on epitaphs, graveyards and death. Moreover, we will read one contemporary novel (from the selection below) that revolves on graveyard scenes, and excerpts from the remaining two.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol
Excerpts from:
Robert Blair The Grave
Edward Young The Complaint: or, Night-Thoughts on Life, Death, & Immortality

- Inhalt:
- This seminar is an internet-based survey course that offers students in the “Aufbaumodul Literaturwissenschaft” an overview of the main developments in US-American literary history. The class will help students to understand the links between literary periods, their central ideas, and important stylistic features. The course provides participants with detailed information about the complexities that underlie and connect each literary work and period. The course’s other main goal is to familiarize students with key texts and key discourses of US-American literature, such as race, class, and gender. The texts were chosen because they either represent crucial aspects of their respective literary periods, or because they address topics and concepts that were controversial at this particular point in history.
Despite being an E-Learning course, this is a discussion-based class, so active participation is crucial. Participants are required to contribute to class discussions by posting at least two quality responses per forum. Your learning process will be enabled through your active involvement in the different assignments, which are designed to allow you as much creative freedom as possible while assisting you in your reading and understanding of the poems, short stories, novels, and plays.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Most readings will be made available via the Learning Management System (VC/Moodle). Two texts, however, need to be acquired by each participant individually:
- Kate Chopin, The Awakening (1899)
- Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children’s Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death (1969)

- Inhalt:
- In this course we are going to look closely at those two of Dickens’s novels which have most in common with the European Bildungsroman or the ’coming -of-age’ novel of the 19c. These are stories of the education of the individual, his or her entry into a wider but divided society from childhood and youth to full adulthood. In Dickens’s case these are both first-person narratives and contain elements of what we often think of, more generally, as ‘autobiographical fiction’. Dickens’s narrative focus, however, is never narrowly personal, but rather the pretext for imagining fully the lives of others and revealing the dynamics of a whole society undergoing vital but disturbing change. Thus Dickens’s takes his place among the great artists of the 19c in the sheer scope and inventiveness of the novel form.
Both novels are utterly absorbing and offer us the deep and intimate pleasure of reading itself as a formative act in our world of mass literacy, not least through their powerful rendering of the experience of childhood and our passage into a troubled maturity. They both extend and challenge the romantic idealisation of childhood.
Dickens described David Copperfield as the ‘favourite child’ among his novels, while Great Expectations has always attracted praise even from those critics who have been hostile to his work. The earlier novel may be seen as the most explicitly autobiographical and Dickens was careful to re-read it before embarking on Great Expectations, not merely to avoid repetition but also to undertake a radical revision of his earlier perspectives.
Secondary reading
Criticism of Dickens’s work is produced on an industrial scale in both Britain and the USA. Extremely popular in his time, a veritable institution, his work fell out of critical favour in the early 20c, but from the 1940s it has been consistently rehabilitated, not least by the work of American critics. It has been subjected to Marxist, feminist, psychoanalytic, new historicist, deconstructionist, post -colonial and queer theory. You can find examples all of these in for example in the 47 volumes of the Dickens Studies Annual, published every year since 1970 (and available on J-Stor). I hesitate to make particular recommendations of individual critics, though a couple (who shall be nameless) I would suggest you avoid!
Perhaps the most useful introductions are to be found in two relatively recent (and complementary) biographies:
Michael Slater, Charles Dickens, (2009)
Claire Tomalin, Charles Dickens: A Life, (2011)
These will both provide you with a strong sense of the personal, social and economic conditions under which Dickens worked and lived in mid-Victorian Britain, as well as the amazing energy which he brought to both his life and work.
Since Simon Edwards is a visiting professor, students who sign up for this course will receive information about the requirements for the course via e-mail in the first week of the semester.

- Inhalt:
- Mary Shelley (1797 1851), the daughter of the radical writer William Godwin and the feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, wrote Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus in the course of a writers contest among Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and John Polidori at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in Switzerland in 1814.
Mary Shelley was not aware that she had created not just a classic of British literature, but a myth that would live on in literature, film and other media.
Victor Frankenstein is a young and ambitious scientist who assembles a creature from body parts. The creature turns against his creator. A lonesome and deplorable being ends up as an atrocious monster.
In the seminar we will discuss the original, its second 1831 edition, a collaborate effort of Mary Shelley and her husband, the dramatizations in the 19th century and some 20th-century filmings. Frankenstein will also be read in the context of the epic poem that inspired it, John Milton s Paradise Lost (1667) and some contemporary novels and films that continue its main argument, the flawed relationship between creator and creature.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Frankenstein: or The Modern Prometheus, ed. by Marilyn Butler (Oxford World's Classics)
or
Frankenstein, ed. by J. Paul Hunter (Norton Critical Edition)
IMPORTANT: The edition you read MUST be that of the 1818 publication

- Inhalt:
- Description:
Set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, the love story of Troilus and Criseyde was to become one of the favourite stories in medieval literature. It was adapted in French and Italian before it was tackled by Geoffrey Chaucer in the mid 1380s. This linguistic and literary masterpiece is the focus of attention in this seminar. We will discuss both the linguistic and the literary makeup of the text on the basis of close reading. Starting from there, we will also investigate central topics of medieval literature such as providence, fate and free will; human (courtly) love and divine love; friendship; and the role of women. On this basis, William Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida (c.1601) will be discussed with respect to the interplay of tradition and innovation, both in terms of literature and language. Other English adaptations of the story, such as Robert Henryson's Testament of Cresseid (c.1470), will also be considered briefly.
Students can earn credits for either literary studies or linguistics, depending on their focus in the presentation in class and the seminar paper.
Before our first meeting, students are asked to familiarize themselves with the story as told by Chaucer in a modern-language translation, either in Modern English (Coghill 1971; Windeatt 1998) or Modern German (Obst / Schleburg 2000). Warning: Translations which are available on the internet are not necessarily reliable! The critical edition which we will use in class is The Riverside Chaucer, ed. by Benson et al. (1987); the original text and other material will be made availabe on Virtueller Campus.
For those who are planning to choose Middle English in the written Staatsexamen: The first two books of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, together with ten of the Canterbury Tales, make up the corpus of texts on which the exam is based.
Also, Shakespeare's drama should become familiar to the students, at the latest in the course of the semester.
The Übung by Prof. Knappe which accompanies the seminar (Wednesday, 14:15-15:00) is designed to discuss linguistic project work and other assignments individually and/or in small groups. Individual arrangements will be made also, if necessary, concerning the time of the Übung. Therefore clashes with other courses scheduled for the same time slot as the Übung can be avoided.
In addition, for those who wish to study the Middle English language in more depth in order to fully appreciate the original texts, the seminar "Introducing Old and Middle English" (https://univis.uni-bamberg.de/form?__s=1113&dsc=anew/lecture_view&lvs=guk/angl/engls/explor&anonymous=1&founds=guk/angl/engls/explor&__e=1&sem=2018s&codeset=utf8) (taught by Prof. Dr. Gabriele Knappe) will be interesting. Guests are welcome!
On July 15-20 a study trip to Oxford and London will be organized for students with historical interests (cf. https://univis.uni-bamberg.de/form?__s=1113&dsc=anew/lecture_view&lvs=guk/angl/engls/studyt&anonymous=1&founds=guk/angl/engls/studyt&__e=1&sem=2018s&codeset=utf8). The number of places is limited. If you are interested in joining the trip, please write an email with a brief statement of your motivation to gabriele.knappe@uni-bamberg.de before February 13, 2018.

- Inhalt:
- The term “reproductive justice” was coined in 1994 by black American feminists. As a concept, it moves the center of attention and activism away from reproductive rights and the narrow focus on pro-choice (the legal right to abortion, symbolized by the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v Wade ) both towards an intersectional analysis of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality and age, and towards activism for enhanced public resources and governmental spending, especially when it comes to comprehensive (reproductive) health care, jobs and wages, education and child care, housing, civil rights and social services.
In this compact course, we will investigate some of these issues and look at academic and socio-political discourses as well as a broad variety of cultural texts (e.g. songs, novels, graphic novels, podcasts, journalism, memoirs, film and TV-series) to highlight and discuss current RJ discourses in North America.

- Inhalt:
- The American presidency forms a central institution and pillar of the American political system, and individual presidents have shaped American and international history in powerful ways. As such, the American presidency and the individuals who have held this office – from George Washington to Barack Obama – hold a prominent place in America’s historical memory and its literary/cultural imagination, and the distinction of the two is often blurry.
This upper level seminar addresses the American Presidency in a decidedly interdisciplinary fashion, combining theoretical concepts and approaches from the fields of History and Historiography with those of American Literary and Cultural Studies. From this combined perspective, we will discuss key presidential figures, such as George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama, in the historical contexts that have shaped their work and that have been shaped by them – by their actual achievements as much as by their visions. We will also discuss the changing role of the First Lady, with a focus on Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama. Our readings will include historical documents, inaugural addresses, and speeches, as well as poems, short stories, novels and autobiographies, and a number of motion pictures, biopics, and parts of popular TV series.
Organization:
This compact seminar (Blockseminar), taught by Prof. Christine Gerhardt (American Studies) and Prof. Sabine Freitag (Modern and Contemporary History), offers a unique chance to study a formative aspects of American political culture in the special atmosphere of a study retreat in the French Alps (Chalet Giersch, Manigod), from August 12-19, 2018.
We can accommodate 18 students (ideally 9 from History, 9 from English and American Studies).
Seminar dates:
Pre-meeting (attendance required) 19.4., 16-18.00, Room U5/01.18
Sunday 12.8. – Sunday, 19.8.2018
Requirements:
The seminar will be held in German and English, so students need to be able to read and discuss texts in both languages.
Each student will give a 20-minute presentation and write a final research paper.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Our preliminary reading list includes:
- Thomas Jefferson, “The Declaration of Independence” (1776)
- William Wells Brown, Clotel; or the President’s Daughter (1853)
- Walt Whitman, popular “O Captain! My Captain!”, “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d” (1865)
- Barack Obama, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance (1995)
- Philip Roth, The Plot Against America (2004)
Please note that this is only a preliminary list. The final reading list will be discussed during the information meeting on April 19 (see below).
