- Inhalt:
- This interdisciplinary course has been designed especially for American and Canadian exchange students and German students, inviting them to study each other’s cultures together. This semester, the focus will be representations of Germany and all things German in Canadian writing and culture, present and past.
The rich heritage and multiethnic present of Canada offer ample ground for studying issues such as identity, home, (post-)colonialism and transformation. Drawing extensively on two essay collections by German and Canadian scholars – Refractions of Germany in Canadian Literature and Culture (2003) and Refractions of Canada in European Literature and Culture (2005) – we will, on the one hand, discover and discuss traces of Germany and Germans in a broad range of text by Canadian authors, such as Leonard Cohen, Rudy Wiebe, Jane Urquhart and Suzette Mayr. On the other hand, we will also discuss the image of Canada in the German context: Canada as the land of plenty – plenty of politeness, plenty of promise, and plenty of wildernesses. Ultimately, this class aims to broaden the participants' horizons with regard to their own national background as much as with regard to the corresponding 'other.'
One major framework of our class will be the Frankfurt Book Fair 2020, where Canada is the (unfortunately due to Corona physically absent) guest of honor. Students who sign up for this class are required to follow the event closely (October 14-17, 2020), and are expected to be very well informed about what is published about the event and Canadian literature and culture in print and on social media up until the beginning of the semester. Make sure to consult a variety of sources (in German and in English!) to gain insight into as many perspectives as possible!
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Most texts, especially the essays from Refractions, will be provided via the Virtual Campus. Students are, however, required to purchase and start reading the following novels before the beginning of the semester: Jane Urquhart’s The Stone Carvers (2001), Suzette Mayr’s The Widows (1998), and Rudy Wiebe’s Of This Earth: A Mennonite Boyhood in the Boreal Forest (2006). Ebook-versions of the novels are welcome.

- Inhalt:
- This course aims to assist students in the Basismodul 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 in the Vertiefungsmodul who are preparing or working at a BA-thesis in American Literature or Culture. 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 Ms. 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! You are 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:
- In this seminar, we will study trends and schools in literary theory since the 1950s. Our reading includes key texts by thinkers identified with formalism and structuralism, deconstruction and post-structuralism, gender studies and queer theory, psychoanalytical criticism, (Neo-)Marxism and Cultural Materialism, New Historicism, postcolonial criticism, and reader-response theory.
The course is intended to assist students in both finding their own approaches towards primary texts and in identifying mind-sets and methods applied in the secondary sources they read in their other seminars: "What theory demonstrates [...] is that there is no position free of theory, not even the one called common sense." (V. B. Leitch).
This class is based not only on the reading, but also the in-depth analysis of theoretical writing. Therefore, students are expected to prepare diligently for each session by (1) reading the assigned text(s), (2) studying each text's background/context, and (3) establishing some basic understanding of the theory discussed in the respective text before coming to class! Only then will it be possible for us to engage in critical discussion during our sessions. In sum, it is important for participants to do the assigned reading, attend all sessions and contribute to class discussions. Your input is mandatory and will be welcome!
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- A course reader will be available for students of this class one week BEFORE the first session.
