Inhalt:

This course is designed specifically for students of all "Lehrämter" who prepare for the written "Staatsexamen" 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.
Please note: This class is taught in German!

Inhalt:

Quests, pilgrimages, expeditions, sentimental journeys, picaresque and picturesque travels, eco-tourism and travel influencers. Over the past five centuries travelling to and from the British Isles has seen many shapes and fulfilled a range of purposes. This seminar on travel writing sets out to explore some of the facets of this genre that has been variously termed “notoriously refractory to definition” (Holland/Huggan) but also “the most socially important of all literary genres” (Youngs).

How does travelling re-shape our identities? And how does it alter our view of others, of authenticity and the exotic? What are the implications of gender, sexual and ethnic identity for the (fictional) travel experience? Participants will be introduced to the evolving field of tourism studies as well as its intersections with literary studies, to theories of identity, place and space as well as Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism (1978). The texts read in class will range from The Travels of Sir John Mandeville (1350s), Captain James Cook’s Journals, Laurence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey (1768), The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano (1789), Mary Wollstonecraft’s letters from Scandinavia (1796) and Mary Kingsley’s accounts of West Africa to Louise Doughty’s The Stone Cradle (2006) and Bernardine Evaristo’s Soul Tourists (2005).

Empfohlene Literatur:

Excerpts of all primary texts will be made available on the VC. Those texts which need to be read in full length will be published soon.
