Inhalt:

In this class we will explore rivers in poetry, fiction, music, movies, mythology and folklore.
We will analyze the river as a generic, universal entity, present in countless songs and poems, but also specific rivers, focusing on the Thames and the Mississippi (but without forgetting the tributaries of the Thames in Rivers of London, the Spoon River and its cemetery and poems, the Sand Creek and its role in history).

This class is open for students of both literary and cultural studies, and both as a reading tutorial (Uebung) and as a seminar.

Inhalt:

Crime fiction is one of the most popular genres in literature and film and most readers are familiar with fictional detectives such as Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple. However, many crime novels or films are based on actual crimes or actual detectives, often without explicitly stating so. Or did you know that Wilkie Collins’ in The Moonstone, one of the first ever crime novels in English, some of the elements of the story are actually based on a real crime, even on a murder?
Besides fictional stories including real elements, there is the whole genre of true crime fiction, stories of real crimes told in an entertaining way. Just like fiction, true crime fiction, as the name already implies, makes use of narrative strategies and literary elements since, after all, they still tell a story. But what are the differences between fictitious stories and factual stories told with the same narrative strategies? Are there any differences? And how does that work for film? Are there differences in the depiction of real and fictitious crimes? All of these questions are going to be examined in this class and we are going to discuss literature of various kinds, film and documentaries, and other texts.
Please be aware that you need to read several texts throughout the semester!

Inhalt:

Mental illness has always played an important role in popular culture and general human awareness. The aspect of public attention has always been part of that, and due to simultaneously causing fear and fascination mental illness has figured largely in literature, visual art, and music. Artistic works have confirmed and challenged belief and value systems: the mad scientist, the horror of the asylum, the mentally ill relative in the family closet, fear of close proximity to mental institutions, the mental patient's desolation -- all these are perceptions of mental illness. In this course we will explore the concept of madness as presented in literature.

We will primarily explore texts from authors that are part of the department's reading list, such as Edgar Alan Poe, Theodore Dreiser, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Graham Greene, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Jack London, Tennessee Williams and H. P. Lovecraft. Four novels shall be the key texts of this class, and students are expected to read the first two novels before the beginning of our seminar:

• Joseph Heller, Catch-22 (1961) – preferred edition: Vintage; ISBN 9780099536017.
• Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) – preferred edition: Signet; ISBN 0451163966.
• Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar (1963) – preferred edition: FF Classics; ISBN 0571200338.
• Gwyn Hyman Rubio, Icy Sparks (1998) – preferred edition: Penguin; ISBN 0142000205.

Additional course material will be provided well ahead of class via the Virtual Campus. It is important for participants to do the assigned reading, attend class regularly and contribute to class discussions. You are welcome to bring in materials from outside of class (newspaper articles, handouts etc.) and you can also plan class room activities – e.g. mock debates. Your input will be welcome!

Attention: This is a READING class! Participants must be able to read and review quite a lot of material between the weekly sessions. The class is also designed to assist you with the reading list of the American Studies Section and aims to contribute to your understanding of key narratives of North American literature and culture. Most of the material will be provided via the Virtual Campus ahead of each session. Students are, however, required to read some texts before the beginning of the semester – either in print or as e-book.

This course offers an introduction to key themes and methods in American cultural studies as an interdisciplinary field of inquiry. Thematically, we will explore issues such as religion and immigration, the frontier and regionalism, class and economic success, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, America as nature’s nation; conceptually, the focus will be on equality and difference as utopian ideas that have shaped American culture from colonial times to the present.

The course is designed to provide you with basic skills in American cultural studies, with a strong emphasis on reading and discussing various texts in their cultural contexts. Our primary readings will include short stories, poems and excerpts from novels as well as historical documents, essays, political speeches, photographs, popular songs and films, while several theoretical essays will provide us with a language for discussing changing concepts of culture.

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.

Inhalt:

This course provides an overview of important approaches in the theory of culture. We will study key texts that have influenced the discipline of Cultural Studies in the Anglo-American world and beyond. Rather than being based on a lecture-style instruction, this class should be understood as a forum to discuss students’ positions toward the texts. A thorough preparation of the respective material is therefore imperative.
