Inhalt:

This course examines recent developments in the study of human migration and mobility. Drawing from the fields of geography, sociology, anthropology, postcolonial studies, diaspora studies as well as literary and cultural studies, we will bring together canonical and newer essays and book chapters in order to trace key shifts in the critical debate.

In our sessions we will discuss changing conceptualizations of various kinds of human movement in specific regional, (trans)national and global contexts, and in conjunction with issues of social difference, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and class.

Students will be asked to discuss this seminar’s core essays both by engaging the theoretical and conceptual issues these texts raise and by linking them to relevant cultural expressions of their choice (which may range from poems, short stories, novels, comics and plays to paintings, photographs, films, videogames, and songs).

Required Reading: All readings will be available via the Virtual Campus at the beginning of the semester.

Inhalt:

The seminar offers a survey of post-war British auteur cinema and a discussion of its theory. This includes the critical debate around the question of authorship in film, an industrial and collaborative medium that appears not to have one author. But the creative center of films and writings in the tradition of the French New Wave are controlled by the film director s perspective.

The films we are going to discuss include various topics and styles that represent post-war British culture and are identified with specific directors and their work. These directors include Michael Powell, Carol Reed, John Boorman, Terence Davies, Stephen Frears, Michael Winterbottom, Danny Boyle, Ken Loach, Derek Jarman, Peter Greenaway, Dennis Potter, Stephen Poliakoff.

Inhalt:

This seminar scrutinises key concepts in migration studies and provides an in-depth study of selected texts to explore them in diverse political, cultural and ethnic contexts. Migration, diaspora and hybridity have become key experiences of the modern condition. Rapid economic and social changes, political oppression and war have brought about displacement, loss and alienation, but also a sense of individual achievement and cosmopolitan connectedness. The seminar tries to define migration and its social and cultural consequences in the context of modernist literature, postcolonial literature and novels written by immigrants from Europe ever since the 1930ies. Novels in this tradition of modernity strive to reconcile the recognition of collective identities (class, gender, religion, ethnicity) with the diversity and freedom of individuals.

We will read texts from James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Erika and Klaus Mann, Joseph Roth, Arthur Koestler, George Lamming, Hanif Kureishi, Salman Rushdie, Carly Phillips, Monica Ali, Zadie Smith, Kapka Kassabova, Helen Oyeyemi.

A reader with excerpts will be provided.

2. (De)Registration:

in FlexNow!: 08th of February 2016 (10:00) until 10th of April 2016 (10:00)

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).
