Lights, places, curtain! Welcome to the Bamberg University English Drama Group, where we share our love and passion for theatre. This winter semester, we are going to work on several short plays which we will perform at the end of the semester. We will also be having a few workshops, from working on acting techniques to costumes, etc.
Everyone is welcome to join, you do not need any prior experience in theatre or acting, nor do you need to be a student of English. If you prefer not to be on stage, we will find a place for you on our backstage team, where we work on costumes, stage and props, hair and makeup design, as well as social media and advertising.
The sessions will take place in person on Mondays and Thursdays at 8 p.m in room U7/01.05. It is no problem if you can only make one of the weekly dates. If you're interested in participating, feel free to drop by the first sessions or send us an email to buedg.englit@uni-bamberg.de for more information. We look forward to an exciting semester with you!

Inhalt:: In the 1990s, the influential cross-disciplinary field of New Economic Criticism emerged as a response to the political economy of the 1980s. It investigates the contact points of literature and economics with a particular focus on the wider economic, social, and political contexts of literature. The 2007/2008 financial crisis has brought economics – once more – to close and often uncomfortable attention, be it with regard to financial speculation, consumer culture or austerity politics. In view of the omnipresence of neoliberalism and as a reaction to globalisation, digitalisation, and automation, the pre-eminence of economic frameworks in public debates has made the economy a prominent subject matter for authors and literary studies scholars alike. In British novels of the last decade, repercussions have become evident in the new genre of “Crunch Lit” which shows a critical awareness of the causes and consequences of the financial crisis. Many debates about the state of late capitalism in the 21st century hark back to those of the 19th century and draw on traditions shaped by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and Anthony Trollope who represent money, finance, and economics as central to their plots and character designs. In this research-based seminar, students will explore various relations between the economy and literature as well as approaches of literary economics by analysing an exemplary literary text of their own choice.

Inhalt:: People are fascinated by the past and often tend to glorify it; we long for simpler times, home, stability, purpose, our youth, and much more and ascribe an idealised picture of these things to “the past”. The term “nostalgia” encompasses this yearning for the past. Specifically, “Nostalgia (from nostos return home, and algia longing) is a longing for a home that no longer exists or has never existed. Nostalgia is a sentiment of loss and displacement, but it is also a romance with one's own fantasy” (Boym, The Future of Nostalgia, ch. 1). Coined in 1688 by Swiss doctor Johannes Hofer, the term initially denoted a sickness – homesickness, or the burning and even sickening desire to return home – experiences by Swiss soldiers abroad; later, it lost its dangerous connotation and has now come to describe a melancholic feeling, or yearning, for an idealised past.

This course looks at different angles of nostalgia, e.g. how nostalgia has been used ideologically in the construction of “Merry England”, how returning home and longing for home can be very different, how longing for “the past” – with its facets of “a simpler past”, “an ideal past”, and “a personal past” – has been suffused with ideological and even propagandistic discourse, how history has been renegotiated to fit narratives of national and personal identity, and how nostalgia has been debunked in literature. We will focus on literature from the 20th century (see reading list below). Besides the obligatory reading below, all students will be expected to read one more novel (more info on that in class).
Empfohlene Literatur:: Obligatory Reading:

Rebecca West. The Return of the Soldier. 1918.
George Orwell. Coming Up for Air. 1939.
Evelyn Waugh. Brideshead Revisited. 1945.
Dodie Smith. I Capture the Castle. 1948.
Georgette Heyer. Frederica. 1965.

Suggested Reading:

Kenneth Grahame. The Wind in the Willows. 1908.
Ford Madox Ford. The Good Soldier. 1915.
Elizabeth von Arnim. The Enchanted April. 1922.
Virginia Woolf. Mrs Dalloway. 1925.
L.P. Harley, The Go-Between. 1953.
Kazuo Ishiguro. The Remains of the Day. 1989.

Students will be allocated one of these in the beginning of class to base their practice conference paper on.

Inhalt:: Travel writing is a genre which has notoriously been hard to define. So a class on travel writing will necessarily have to begin with gauging the generic boundaries and conventions of a fuzzy body of writing. We need to address the problem of the authority and reliability of the travel writer, of the veracity of their documentary, autobiographical or fictional texts, and the oftentimes fraught strategies of representing (read: self-aggrandising) the self and portraying the ‘Other’ (the colonial gaze!). How is travel writing enmeshed in political agendas? What are the implications of gender, sexual and ethnic identity for the (fictional) travel experience?

This class will trace the medieval and early modern origins of travel writing before delving into a multitude of 18th-century philosophical, documentary and fictional texts on human mobility. We will discuss expeditions as well as sentimental journeys, picaresque and picturesque travelling and contrast travels around the globe with journeys inside the British Isles as well as the differences in journeys undertaken by men and women. In the process, we will reconstruct the ‘inward turn’ in travel writing of the mid-18th century as well as the democratisation of tourism with its transition from individual travelling (the Grand Tour!) to the mass tourism of the mid-19th century. In a last section, this class will shift the focus to contemporary queer and postcolonial re-visions and re-writings of the travel experiences of previous centuries and look at the intersections of contemporary travel and nature writing.

WICHTIG Es stehen zwei Parallelkurse zur Verfügung. Termin A finden Sie in FlexNow! bei der Englischen Literaturwissenschaft, Termin B bei der Amerikanistik. Bitte entscheiden Sie sich frühzeitig für EINEN Termin! Studierende, die sich gleichzeitig für mehrere Seminare "Introduction to English and American Literature" anmelden, werden nach Maßgabe der Kurskapazitäten einem Kurs zugeteilt.

3. Tutorials:

Das Seminar "Introduction to English and American Literary Studies" wird durch folgende Tutorien ergänzt:

a) Begleitendes Tutorium zur "Introduction to English and American Literary Studies A" zur Vertiefung und Ergänzung der im Kurs besprochenen Themen; eine zusätzliche Anmeldung ist nicht notwendig. Dieses Tutorium wird von derselben Dozentin unterrichtet wie die Introduction selbst.
b) Basiskurs Bibliothek, bestehend aus eine E-learning Modul und einer Übung (90 Minuten); Anmeldung über den Virtuellen Campus der Universitätsibliothek.

Inhalt:

This course provides a concise introduction to major themes and methods in the study of English and American Literature. We will discuss key features of the main literary genres poetry, prose fiction and drama, explore selected approaches in literary theory and criticism as a basis for analyzing and interpreting literary texts, and survey the main periods and developments of predominantly English literary history.

Please note that all Introductions to English and American Literary Studies prepare students for the analysis and interpretation of both English and American literature. The only difference is that the Introductions taught by members of the English Literature section use literary examples from a primarily British context, and those taught by members of the American Studies section use primarily American examples. Choosing one or the other Introduction does not mean that you specialize in English or American literature, and you don t have to take your later courses in the same area.

The following applies only to students whose Basismodul Literaturwissenschaft contains both the Introduction to Literary Studies and a lecture:
The final written exam of this Introduction to Literary Studies is also the module exam for the Basismodul Literaturwissenschaft. The exam will contain questions about both the content of the Introduction and the lecture (free choice: English or American Literature lecture). Students, therefore, are advised to take the introductory class either after attending the lecture OR in the same semester.

Inhalt:: In this class 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:: This course is designed specifically for students of all "Lehrämter" (students in teachers training) who prepare for the written "Staatsexamen" (state exams) in English Literature according to the new LPO. However, students preparing other - oral or written - final exams are very welcome, too.

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 course will cover all of the "Körbe" used in Staatsexamen (englische Literatur) (e.g. "Thema 1: Dramatische Texte der Renaissance," "Thema 6: Narrative und expositorische Texte des 19. Jahrhunderts" etc.). After the revision sessions, each session will be divided into a revision of the literary history of the respective "Korb" and a detailed analysis of one state exam question from this "Korb". All participants need to prepare a presentation based on these questions and the literary and historical background for each of them.

Inhalt:: Ian McEwan, born in 1948, is considered one of Britain’s greatest post-war writers. He has been nominated for Britain’s prestigious Booker Prize multiple times and won the award in 1998 for his novel Amsterdam. McEwan’s latest publication, the rather traditional sociopolitical epic Lessons (2022), is his 18th novel to date. His writer’s career started with two short-story collections, First Love, Last Rites (1975) and In Between the Sheets (1978). McEwan’s prose during this first phase, including The Cement Garden (1978) or The Comfort of Strangers (1981), is characterised by its macabre topics, black comedy, and the gothic mode. In the second phase, his texts become increasingly political. With The Child in Time (1987), McEwan already employs the genre of the state-of-the-nation novel in his exploration of the interrelations between public and private life in the bleak realities of Thatcherite Britain. Set during WW2, McEwan’s acclaimed postmodern novel Atonement (2001) is exemplary for McEwan’s use of unreliable or unnatural narrators. The two Brexit stories, Nutshell (2016) and The Cockroach (2019), for example, are narrated from the perspective of a foetus and a bug turned into the prime minister. While these texts hark back on William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, his bestseller Saturday (2005), depicting urban life in the aftermath of 9/11, is inspired by Virginia Woolf’s modernist city novel Mrs Dalloway. McEwan’s texts are also significant meta-narratives on understanding the mind: They represent consciousness and the complexities of mental processing. Other narratives that show his interest in science are Solar (2010) concerning climate change or Machines Like Me (2019) with view on artificial intelligence. Moreover, his fiction has variously been adapted to film and McEwan has produced several screenplays. In this seminar, we will discuss Ian McEwan’s oeuvre which treats issues that are central to our times and contemporary literature.

Inhalt:: The Gothic Novel famously emerged in the 18th century with Walpole’s Castle of Otranto (1764) and Radcliffe’s Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) and reached its first peak with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in 1818. However, the genre saw a second major blossoming in the late Victorian period, more specifically, the 1880s and 1890s. While first-wave Gothic Novels tend to be set abroad, in the castles – or laboratories – of Continental Europe, the Victorian Gothic Novel moves closer to home: with settings in the British Isles, but, even more importantly, by locating the source of the horror increasingly within the human psyche.
Empfohlene Literatur:: In this class, we will read three Victorian classics of the Gothic:

Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886)
Bram Stoker, Dracula (1897)
Henry James, The Turn of the Screw (1898)

Students may use any decent edition of the above texts (but no “simplified” or “abridged” versions or adaptations!). Please note that, while we will of course acknowledge that these texts have spawned numerous film versions and rewritings, the focus of our seminar will be on the original texts themselves. The first novel we will study will be The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which participants must have read by the third week of term. Since Dracula is rather long and The Turn of the Screw rather difficult, you should start reading as soon as possible!

The seminar offers an overview of current trends in studying the development of the eighteenth-century novel in Britain. The practices of reading, theories of adaptation, reception and afterlives, paratexts and formal experimentations, authorship and publication, advertising novels, and contemporary discourses of the novel will be examined through the discussion of recent scholarship on some of the major novels in the eighteenth century. Through a historical understanding of prose fiction, by attending this course, students will learn about the most important sources and practices of how to approach the field of the emergence of the English novel. They will also acquire a thorough knowledge of the early development of the genre.

Inhalt:: Since 1901, the Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded “to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction” according to the will of the Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel (https://www.nobelprize.org). The most recent anglophone writer to receive this internationally esteemed award was the British-Zanzibari postcolonial novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah “for his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents” in 2021. His works set in East Africa under British or German rule deal with themes of exile, migration, displacement, identity, and belonging. In advance, there had been heated debates about a lack of diversity considering the majority of winners had been European. The Emeritus Professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures was the first Black writer to receive the prize since the African American novelist Toni Morrison in 1993 and the first African writer to win the award since the British-Zimbabwean author Doris Lessing in 2007.

This insinuated a renewed interest in the relation of the Nobel Prize and Postcolonialism. In this context, the Nigerian playwright, poet, and literary scholar, Wole Soyinka, who had actively campaigned for independence from British colonial rule was awarded the prize in 1986 for his works which deal with the conflicts between Western conventions and African culture. South African Nobel Prize Laureates Nadine Gordimer (1999) and J.M. Coetzee (2003) likewise contest the values resulting from the apartheid-system. Other Anglophone writers to win the Nobel Prize who have become famous postcolonial authors are the novelist and travel writer V.S. Naipaul (2001), born in Trinidad, and the playwright and poet Derek Walcott (1992) from St Lucia. All in all, the works of these Nobel Prize winners deal with pronounced postcolonial issues, such as alienation, hybridity, place, language, history, and rewriting. Moreover, this perspective particularly allows to re-read Seamus Heaney’s poetry on Ireland (1995) and Alice Munro’s short stories set in Canada (2013) in the context of (post)colonial politics and history. Beyond that, it brings to attention questions concerning the reception of Anglophone writers themselves, their impact on the global literary field, and their ability to shape transnational discourses, or influence the international literary marketplace. When the Australian novelist Patrick White received the Nobel Prize in 1973, the committee lauded him, for “introdu[ing] a new continent into literature”, while Australian literary critics saw the Prize as a confirmation of the national literature having overcome its colonial cultural cringe.

Thus, in this seminar, next to exploring the influential postcolonial voices of this selection of Anglophone writers, we will assess the “Nobel Prize effect” in terms of the contemporary literary marketplace and the economies of authorship as well as the commercialisation and exoticisation of the postcolonial. After familiarising ourselves with the nomination and selection process, our exemplary analyses of postcoloniality will also consider the Nobel Prize Lectures as well as the critical writing of the Nobel Prize laureates.

It is recommended to combine this class with the lecture "Postcolonial Novel".

Inhalt:: Rosamunde Pilcher, a British author of romantic novels famously adapted for German TV, and the ZDF received the British Tourism Award 2002 for boosting foreign interest in the Cornish landscape. However, from Land’s End to John o’ Groats, there are many regions in Great Britain that were formed by the literary imagination of canonical authors and for which literary tourism has become a central element of their local economies.

This seminar explores Britain’s regional literature of the 19th century. Students will not only be made familiar with the geographies of Great Britain but reading and interpreting a wide range of topographical texts they will be introduced to the importance of space in literary and other cultural representations. Moreover, in discussing questions concerning setting, local colour, ambience of place or the symbolic level of spatial representations, students will engage with an array of spatial concepts from Cultural Geographies.

Our explorative tour of the multifarious regions in Britain depicted in 19th-century poetry and prose sets off in the Dartmoor of Arthur Conan Doyle. Beyond that, we will investigate Southwest England in Thomas Hardy’s Wessex stories and visit Jane Austen’s Bath. Travelling upwards through literary topographies of George Eliot’s Midlands and Elizabeth Gaskell’s Industrial North we will stop over in Yorkshire’s Brontë country where we will not only encounter the fictional Wuthering Heights but also the psychologies of its mindscape. Further on, we will engage in the influential literary constructions of the Lake District by Romanticist poet William Wordsworth. Upon arrival in Scotland, the High- and Lowlands as well as the ‘Athens in the North’, Edinburgh, will be brought to life by Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. We will complete our tour of Great Britain by tracing the labyrinthine streets of Charles Dickens’ London.

Inhalt:: An extensive and exciting range of Anglophone literature from countries other than Britain and the United States that has emerged over the last half century is from Africa, the Caribbean, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and other regions of the former British Empire. These ‘New’ English Literatures grapple with the multiple legacies of colonialism in rewriting the narrative of conquest and decolonisation, assessing the social, political, and economic context of post-independence, resisting metropolitan dominance and neo-colonial tendencies, and engaging with the transnationalism of our globalised world. This lecture introduces students to Postcolonial Literatures of the English-speaking world as well as central key-concepts of Postcolonial Literary Studies. It specifically concentrates on the Postcolonial Novel providing a systematic overview of central texts and preoccupations, such as writing back, language, nation, feminism, hybridity, diaspora, history, memory, place, cosmopolitanism, ecology, indigeneity, intersectionality, and transculturality.

It is recommended to combine this class with the course "Postcolonial Nobel Prize Laureates".
