- Inhalt:
- The seminar aims to trace issues of identity and belonging in texts by Jewish British women writers. In British society ever since World War II, it has been class more than anything else that made it difficult for Jews to define an identity of their own; either they were excluded or they assimilated into society, but they did not have or did not want to have a voice of their own.
In this seminar we will discuss a variety of perspectives that shape Jewish identity in Great Britain by focusing of the contribution of women writers. The topics will include immigration from Eastern Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, exiles who had either escaped or survived the Shoah, the foundation of the State of Israel, the legacy of the Shoah, the Palestinian conflict, orthodox and liberal Judaism, and old and new forms of anti-Semitism.
Among the writers we will discuss is Marjorie Agosin, a Chilean-American writer, who is going to be a guest in our seminar on 17th June. She will talk about and read from her new book, Maps of Memory (2020).
We will read, discuss and include a number of texts. The list below is more than we can actually do in one semester.

2. (De)Registration:
in FlexNow!: 04.03.2020, 10:00 - 17.05.2020, 23:59
- Inhalt:
- This course is addressed at students who are preparing or working at a final thesis in English or American Literature, be it a "Magisterarbeit", "Zulassungsarbeit", "BA-Arbeit" or Master's thesis. It is supposed to offer continuous support to students while preparing or writing their theses, and to give them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with other students. The course consists of plenary and individual sessions. A definite schedule will be set up in the first meeting of the class. There will be a site on the Virtual Campus; access will be given upon registration.
In the plenary sessions, we shall discuss general formal aspects and criteria of a thesis - such as possible topics, structure, suitable theoretical approaches. Participants will present (parts of) their thesis, offering it for discussion and feedback. The individual sessions consist of one-to-one tutorials in which you can discuss the argument, the progress and possible problems of your thesis with me. For students in the BA, MA and new teacher training programmes, who write their thesis in literary studies, this course provides the "Betreuungsübung". The presentation of the thesis in a plenary session (max. 30 minutes) will be graded and counts as "mündliche Modulteilprüfung" in the BA-programme. Students in the Magister- and old teacher training programmes are advised to take this course to support them while writing their theses. Depending on the native tongue of the participants, the course will be given in English or German.
The course will be taught every two weeks, with individual meetings in the weeks where we will have no common session.

- Inhalt:
- This seminar will guide you through the fascinating variety of poetry that emerged from the post-war period and evolved into the diversity of contemporary poetry. We will begin with a short look back to the poetry of modernism (T.S. Eliot) and the political poetry in the 1930s (Auden, Spender, MacNeice). The seminar then starts with Robert Conquest s New Lines introducing us to poets of the 1950s and beyond. The diversity of British poetry is difficult to categorise. There are individual poets such as Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes, Geoffrey Hill, Peter Porter, Thom Gunn, Tony Harrison, and others. Some poets gained a reputation as representatives of the bygone rural England (John Betjeman). Others might be read as poets of a particular region such as Edwin Morgan, Hugh MacDiarmid, John Burnside or Jackie Kay for Scotland, or Dylan Thomas and R.S Thomas for Wales, and John Harris and D.M. Thomas for Cornwall. Recent poets include ethnic minorities and immigrants, i.e. diasporic poetry (Derek Walcott, George Szirtes, Benjamin Zephaniah) and women poets such as Emily Berry, Alice Oswald or Clare Pollard. Reading these poets in class, you will learn a lot about the changing poetic language in the twentieth century, but also about history and politics, society and culture in the United Kingdom throughout a troubled century.
