- Inhalt:
- Female game characters have come a long way since the days where Lara Croft and Princess Peach were the only ones flying the feminine flag, and the results are rather awe-inspiring. Although developers struggled to combine curves with personality and insisted in over sexualising their creations or giving them sassy attitude, the industry has witnessed a progressive shift in female representation in games and it has made serious strides toward creating believable women. No longer are female characters simple glassy-eyed dolls, damsels in distress or mere extensions of the main character (mostly male). Female heroines and characters have become more relatable, realistic, in fact they have been “humanised” and letting stereotypical romantic love stories fade into the background has provided them with room for character development.
This seminar aims to analyse the gradual change in the portrayal of female characters in video games, namely: Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Aloy (Horizon Zero Dawn) and Wonder Woman (DC Games). By studying these characters’ gender roles, expressions of gender, fashion, psychological behaviour and tendencies, we will attempt to uncover the many layers of female representation in this form of media and how how it has changed since the early 1990s.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Lara Croft — Tomb Raider (2009-2018)
Aloy — Horizon Zero Dawn (2017)
Wonder Woman (1941-2018)

- Inhalt:
- “'Liquid life' is the kind of life commonly lived in our contemporary, liquid-modern society. Liquid life cannot stay on course, as liquid-modern society cannot keep its shape for long. Liquid life is a precarious life, lived under conditions of constant uncertainty” (Zygmunt Bauman).
Using Bauman’s theory as a start point, this seminar will approach
and analyse Gender in various literary works from a multi-angled perspective.
Acknowledging its malleable and fluid characteristics, Gender will be discussed in relation to Power, Language, Sex and Body, Identity, Love, and how these mutually influence one another.
Furthermore, from a variety of texts, ranging from feminist science
fiction, modernism and the Beat Generation, the course aims to “deconstruct”(Judith Butler) previously rigid concepts of gender and reshape such ideas as we advance, for instance, through the novels of
Woolf, le Guin and Piercy.
Finally, the seminar will approach both masculinity and femininity from an “androgynous” viewpoint, that is, one that allows transition in between the binary opposites rather than the traditional stationary
perspective on them.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Piercy, Marge - He, She and It (2016)
Butler, Octavia - Dawn (1997)
Woolf, Virginia - Orlando (2016)
Le Guin, Ursula K. - The Left Hand of Darkness (2016)
Kerouac, Jack - On the Road (2011)

- Inhalt:
- Before Suzanne Collins' Katniss Everdeen, Veronica Roth's Beatrice
Prior and even Wonder Woman in the twentieth and early twenty-first
Centuries, a select group of literary women paved the way to our contemporary heroines and without power or superhuman abilities were
able to bend or transcend their, then, rigid and limited gender roles.
The main focus of this course lies in the representation of gender in
Victorian and Puritan Literature, thus, we will analyse the gradual
changes that have happened in the portrayal of “womanhood” in literature, the various degrees of masculinity and femininity in the behaviour of female characters (psychological androgyny) such as: Austen’s Lizzy Bennet, Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Hardy’s Bathsheba Everdene,
Hawthorne’s Hester Prynne and Defoe’s Moll Flanders; also how their fashion influences (positive or negatively) their image, their journey to become heroines and the impact of their image in the education
of young and adult female audiences.
In addition to the above mentioned prose, the poetry of William Blake
and his portrayal of women will also be of interest to this course.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- To read prior to beginning of semester
Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice
Charlotte Brontë. Jane Eyre
Thomas Hardy. Far from the Madding Crowd
To read during the semester
Nathaniel Hawthorne. The Scarlet Letter
Daniel Defoe. Moll Flanders
