- Inhalt:
- The Harlem Renaissance marks one of the most significant moments in the history of American literature: Between the end of World War I and the Great Depression of the 1930s, writers in this movement connected with the African American cultural tradition and participated in creating American modernism. The Harlem Renaissance was a social, political, and aesthetic movement as well as an artistic revolution, and is inseparable from the social context of Harlem in the 1920s which included high-brow literary saloons, rent parties, Jazz clubs, ball rooms, theaters, journals, and book stores.
In this seminar, we will talk about the literature of this movement in the context of its music and art, and with special emphasis on the women who shaped it. We will read Georgia Douglas Johnson s play Plumes (1927), Nella Larsen s Quicksand (1928), Zora Neale Hurston s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937) and some of her short stories, as well as poetry by Angelina Weld Grimké, Anne Spencer, and Gwendolyn Bennet, in relation to texts, songs, and art by other players of this movement (including W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Bessy Smith, Josephine Baker, Paul Robeson, Alaine Locke, Countee Cullen, Jean Toomer). More information and readings will be available on the Virtual Campus soon.
This class will be taught in a blended format, combining asynchronous assignments with in-class-room meetings (on Zoom or, COVID permitting, in the lecture hall). The first meet-ing will take place on Zoom.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Please purchase:
1. Nella Larsen s Quicksand (1928), ideally the Norton critical edition with footnotes, ed. by Carla Kaplan
2. Zora Neale Hurston s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937)
You should get and start reading both novels immediately. The overall reading load in this seminar is heavy, so to get a head start, read the novels during the semester break.
Further readings will be made available via the VC.

- Inhalt:
- Well, women are used to worrying over trifles, (9) notes the condescending husband of a female sleuth in Susan Glaspell s 1916 play Trifles. In this seminar, our interest lies precisely in these alleged trifles, as we meet silly, shocking, and shooting women, [a] Gay Republican (Angels 29), or [a] bunch of revolutionary manumission abolitionists (Hamilton, My Shot ) on America s theater stages, and set out to examine representations of America on Stage that transcend the stereotype of the white heterosexual male protagonist.
Analyzing both US-American theater plays across the twentieth century and contemporary Broadway musicals, we will address questions of diversity in terms of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, illness, (dis)ability, human-animal relationships, and others, rethinking definitions of American national identity. Our readings include Susan Glaspell s Trifles (1916), Lillian Hellman s The Children s Hour (1934), Lorraine Hansberry s A Raisin in the Sun (1959), and Tony Kushner s Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches (1991), as well as excerpts from other renowned plays, and their movie adaptations.
We will also analyze American musical theater from Rent (1994) to Hamilton (2016) from a perspective of diversity.
In our seminar, we will read these plays within relevant historical contexts of feminism, racial (in)equality, and LGBTQIA+ history, with a special interest in the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 90s. We will engage critically with these plays using insights from Gender Studies, Queer Studies, Critical Whiteness Studies, and Performance Studies, amongst others, in order to analyze the multifaceted US-American theatrical landscape from an intersectional, interdisciplinary, and multimedia standpoint.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Please purchase and read the following plays before classes start in October:
- Susan Glaspell, Trifles (1916) (available online via the university library!)
- Lillian Hellman, The Children s Hour (1934)
- Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun (1959)
- Tony Kushner, Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches (1991)
All other primary and secondary texts will be provided on the Virtual Campus.

- Inhalt:
- Dystopian accounts of non-existent places worse than the ones we live in are more popular today than ever before. But why? According to Tom Moylan in Scraps of the Untainted Sky, dystopian narrative is largely the product of the terrors of the twentieth century. A hundred years of exploitation, repression, state violence, war, genocide, disease, famine, ecocide provided more than enough fertile ground for this fictive underside of the utopian imagination (xi). In this course, we will inspect the dystopian turn in contemporary American literature. We will examine dystopia s form, central themes and subject-matters and its relation to the prevailing and shifting cultural discourses. Indeed, with the terrifying worlds that it portrays, dystopia can voice our worst contemporary fears and anxieties, cast a critical eye on the pressing global issues, warn and frighten, and also fill us with hope for a change, or perhaps a better future.
Starting from the post-WW2 era, we will first examine the rise of the Classical Dystopia (which British titles like Orwell s 1984 and Huxley s Brave New World came to embody) through Ray Bradbury s Fahrenheit 451 (1953), followed by the Feminist Critical Dystopia, focusing on Margaret Atwood s The Handmaid s Tale (1985) and Octavia Butler s Parable of the Sower (1993), and end with today s popular Young Adult Dystopia, with Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games (2008) as a key example.
In our readings, we will particularly pay attention to how gender, race, age, class and environmental issues are depicted in these texts. By the end of the semester, we will hopefully have a good grasp of the reasons behind dystopia s ever-increasing appeal for older and younger audiences and its relevance for our contemporary times.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Primary Readings:
- Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
- Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid s Tale
- Octavia Butler, Parable of the Sower
- Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games (Only the first novel, but I would highly recommend the entire trilogy if you have the time!)
Throughout this course, we will also briefly refer to several other titles and critical texts which are to be announced.

- Inhalt:
- No one likes a know-it-all – except perhaps when reading a story. Narrators often seem to know everything and share it with their eager audience – or do they? In this class will study models that describe the various options of how to tell a story, in order to understand how meaning is created and communicated.
We will discuss key texts on narrative typologies by Roland Barthes, Franz Karl Stanzel, Gérard Genetté, Mieke Bal, and Monika Fludernik, to understand the underlying models and principles those scholars observed and developed. We will also explore how narrative communication actually works in a wide variety of literary examples, most of which will be selected from the reading list of the American Studies department (https://www.uni-bamberg.de/amerikanistik/studium/leseliste/) and with reference to the "Staatsexamen" in Literary Studies.
The goal of this class is to develop a firm understanding of various models of narrative communication, while gaining a comprehensive insight into the development of North American literature and its socio-political and historical context.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- While all shorter readings (essays, short stories, single chapters) will be provided via the VC (registered participants will be signed up for the VC course by the instructor in the first week of the semester!), the following novels will have to be purchased by each student in advance:
- Toni Morrison, A Mercy (2008)
- James Hannaham, Delicious Foods (2018)
Make sure to read the novels before the first session of this class!
In addition, the following textbook is strongly recommended as companion reading to this class: Monika Fludernik, An Introduction to Narratology (2009).

- Inhalt:
- What exactly is a hometown? Why is small town life either desired or despised? Why do people call places “home” which are not their places of birth or even places where their families live? How – if at all – have definitions of “home” changed over time? What is the relevance of “home” for American politics? What role does real estate play? How strong is nostalgia in the projection of “home”?
The seminar will attempt to answer these and related questions by looking closely at a broad variety of North American texts (novels, short stories, paintings, photographs, film).
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Please buy and read: Toni Morrison, Home (2012); Dionne Brand, What We All Long For (2005); Gabrielle Zevin, The Hole We’re In (2010), Alison Bechdel, Fun Home (2006).

- This course aims to assist students in writing their FIRST term paper in literary or cultural studies in Bamberg. We will discuss general formal aspects and content related criteria of an academic paper, such as possible topics, structure, suitable theoretical approaches. Primarily, however, we will practice how to choose a topic, how to develop a coherent structure, how to involve theoretical frameworks, and how to adhere to the MLA citation rules. Finally, we will discuss the different types of source material that are suitable for the list of references of your paper. Students have the chance to present a provisional outline in a closed discussion forum, where they will receive feedback from fellow students and the instructor.
This course is also addressed at students who are writing their BA-thesis with Dr. Konopka (American Studies). Therefore, this course provides the guidance sessions for the BA thesis (Betreuungsübung) for students in the BA programs who write their thesis in literary or cultural studies. It assists students in the preparation of their final paper, and gives them an opportunity to discuss their work with other students. BA-candidates will present parts of their final paper, offering it for discussion and feedback. If you are planning to attend this class, make sure that the instructor will also be your thesis advisor. Please contact Dr. Konopka well in advance to discuss your topic and the requirements for the supervision.
Please note that this is a practical training course and not a lecture! Everyone is expected to participate in the tasks and discussions.

- Inhalt:
- This seminar is an internet-based survey course that offers students in the “Aufbaumodul Literaturwissenschaft” an overview of the main developments in US-American literary history. The class will help students to understand the links between literary periods, their central ideas, and important stylistic features. The course provides participants with detailed information about the complexities that underlie and connect each literary work and period. The course’s other main goal is to familiarize students with key texts and key discourses of US-American literature, such as race, class, and gender. The texts were chosen because they either represent crucial aspects of their respective literary periods, or because they address topics and concepts that were controversial at this particular point in history.
Despite being an E-Learning course, this is a discussion-based class, so active participation is crucial. Participants are required to contribute to class discussions by posting at least two quality responses per forum. Your learning process will be enabled through your active involvement in the different assignments, which are designed to allow you as much creative freedom as possible while assisting you in your reading and understanding of the poems, short stories, novels, and plays.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Most readings will be made available via the Learning Management System (VC/Moodle).
Two texts, however, need to be acquired by each participant individually:

- Inhalt:
- 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:
- This course provides a concise introduction to major themes and methods in the study of English and American literature with a focus on 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 American literary history. The focus, however, will be on the discussion of textual examples from these various vantage points. The goal of this course is to enable you to articulate up-to-date readings of texts from different genres, in their cultural contexts, informed by key theories and analytical methods.
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 Introduction taught by members of the English Literature section uses literary examples from a primarily British context, and the one taught by members of the American Studies section uses 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.

- 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.

- Inhalt:
- U.S. environmental thought has long been characterized by a history of discriminatory, exclusionary, and elitist concepts. Its inception was marked by white male ideals about human engagement with nature at the expense of less privileged, marginalized population groups and their experiences with the environment. This tradition of capitalizing on a very particular, non-inclusive perspective led to racist notions being ingrained in the very essence of environmental thinking. In this course, we will address the following questions (among others). How are racism and environmentalism inherently connected? What are the cultural, socio-political roots and ramifications of this interlinkage? How does the legacy of racist environmental practices impact more recent ecological developments, such as the ever-escalating climate crisis? We will examine how African American, Latinx, and indigenous writers/activists from across the country have questioned the conventional, discriminatory maxims of U.S. environmental discourses and redefined American environmentalism as quintessentially intersectional.

- Inhalt:
- Lyrical texts such as poems and songs are particularly suitable for illustrating the characteristics of literariness to students: different levels of communication, stylistic devices and aesthetic effects are distinct in this genre with its tendency towards condensation and structural rigour. At the same time, poems and songs can offer readers and listeners an engaging insight into a great variety of social, cultural, and environmental issues. For English language education, lyrical texts have several benefits and, primarily due to their brevity and density of subject matter, they provide opportunities for flexible use and the development of various competences as well as critical literacy.
In this interdisciplinary seminar, we will explore lyrical texts ranging from traditional poems to popular songs from different academic perspectives. These include literary-cultural, linguistic, and educational as well as methodological perspectives to identify how verse can be analysed and integrated into English language education. In opening up the canon of lyrical texts and including popular and learner-centred texts such as rhymes, tongue twisters, and pop songs, English language education can encourage learners to discover specific features of lyrical texts, identify layers of meaning, and explore various transcultural perspectives as well as issues of social (in)justice relevant in our society today.
