S/Ü Einführung in die Kulturwissenschaft -
- Dozent/in:
- Hanna Budig
- Termine:
- Do, 16:15 - 17:45, U5/01.22
ab 27.10.2016
- Inhalt:
- Die Vielzahl der gegenwärtig im Umlauf befindlichen Kulturkonzepte sowie die grenzüberschreitende Perspektive der Kulturwissenschaften begründet immer wieder Skepsis gegenüber der sich neu zwischen Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften etablierenden Disziplin. Das Seminar will deshalb grundlegend den Begriff Kultur erörtern, um eine möglichst eindeutige kulturwissenschaftliche Perspektive zu erarbeiten und diese auf romanistische Fragestellungen zuspitzen.
Dabei soll es zum einen um die Vermittlung von grundlegenden Informationen zu Bestandteilen der französischen, italienischen und spanischen Kultur gehen. Gleichzeitig geht es aber um mehr als nur um die Darlegung von Daten und Fakten: Ziel ist die Erkenntnis, dass Kultur ein mehrschichtiges komplexes Ganzes ist, das in einer Gesellschaft (Nation) in ständiger Bewegung ist und zur stets dynamischen Identitätsdiskussion und findung wesentlich beiträgt (Baasner/Thiel 2004). Zum anderen soll das Nachdenken über diese kulturellen Konstrukte die Studierenden in die Lage versetzen, im konkreten Umgang mit den Kulturen, deren Sprachen sie studieren, aufmerksamer, bewusster und sicherer zu werden.
Hinweise:
- Gearbeitet wird im Seminar Textnah, deshalb wird die Lektüre vorausgesetzt
- Die Texte werden rechtzeitig im VC zur Verfügung gestellt

Golden Door: Italian Perspectives on the USA and Vice Versa (PS Cultural Studies) -
- Dozent/in:
- Nicole K. Konopka
- Termine:
- Fr, 14:00 - 16:00, U5/02.18
- Inhalt:
- The United States are often described as a nation of immigrants, the 'golden door' to the West, a land in which people from all over the world have sought – and apparently found – new homes and new lives. However, the myth of the Promised Land and the cultural narrative of the American Dream are as much exclusive as they are inclusive, thus encouraging new beginnings and personal aspirations, but also breaking individuals and their hopes and dreams.
In the first part of the semester, the course centers on American ideals and realities as seen from an Italian immigrant perspective. We will be looking at how Italian immigrants and their descendants participated and still participate in the creation of core American values and narratives, and influenced debates about inclusion of newcomers into the Promised Land.
In the second half of the class we will then take a look at the influence of Italy on the writing of past and present US-American writers, such as Emerson, Tennessee Williams and Elizabeth Spencer. Italy seems to have had and still plays a special role in American Literature, where especially Rome is everything at once: ancient playground, great peak of the grand tour, self-imposed exile, and unsettling mirror of existentialist anxieties.
This course has two key goals, which are related to "history from below" and the "development of a myth". First, this course seeks to help students interrogate their own notions of American history, literature and culture. Immigrants are neither the helpless victims, nor are they agents of pure individualism. To help students understand the many layers of the stories of migration, and how they are entwined with one aspect of American history in particular, shall be one objective of this class. The second goal is to show the gradual emancipation of popular narratives and how the ideas of the Promised Land and the American Dream become ideal or real against a particular ethnic background: Italian immigrants and their descendants in the US.
To understand the American fascination with Italy, we will do a lot of reading, speaking, thinking and possibly even traveling. Our main reading material will consist of several novels, which are listed below. Students are encouraged to start reading the novels before the semester! More material will then be provided via the VC during the semester.
Required reading October - December 2016:
- Pietro di Donato, Christ in Concrete (1939)
- Mario Puzo, The Fortunate Pilgrim (1965) OR Stuart Cooper's movie "Mama Lucia" (1988, available in the "Semesterapparat"!)
- Helen Barolino, Umbertina (1979)
Required reading January - February 2017:
- Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms (1929)
- Tennessee Williams, The Roman Spring Of Mrs. Stone (1950)
This class will include a field trip to Rome (Italy), which will take place in the end of February or the beginning of March. Participants will receive generous funding from the American Studies Section and will be expected to contribute to the field trip with a presentation on site.

Ü/S Literaturgeschichte und Textinterpretation Französisch [Ü/S Literaturgeschichte und Textinterpretation Französisch] -
- Dozent/in:
- Quirin Pusch
- Termine:
- Do, 16:15 - 17:15, U2/00.26
- Inhalt:
- Der Kurs setzt sich, ähnlich einem Lektürekurs, intensiv mit der unten aufgeführten Textauswahl auseinander. Das bedeutet, dass tatsächlich das Lesen und das schrittweise Verstehen der Texte im Vordergrund stehen; auf Biographie der Autoren und die Epochenzuordnung wird nur nebenbei eingegangen. Dazu ist es unabdingbar, dass die Texte nicht nur gelesen, sondern vorbereitet (Vokabeln nachschlagen, Unklarheiten beseitigen bzw. formulieren, etc.) sind. Grundlage sind unterschiedliche Gattungen, beginnend bei der Lyrik (Baudelaire) über Narra-tivik (Flaubert) bis zur Dramatik (Sartre), um dabei eben die jeweiligen Unterschiede der Gat-tungen hervortreten zu lassen.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Baudelaire: Fleurs du mal (vor allem: Bénédiction; Une charogne)
Flaubert: Madame Bovary (nicht nur, aber u. a. 1. Teil 1. Kapitel)
Jean-Paul Sartre: Huis clos
