Inhalt:

The seminar tries to trace issues of identity and belonging in various texts and films by Jewish British writers and film makers. 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.

In this seminar we will discuss a variety of perspectives that shape Jewish identity in Great Britain. The immigration from Eastern European countries in the early twentieth century, exiles who had either escaped or survived the Shoah, the foundation of the State of Israel, the legacy of the Shoah, the Palestinian conflict, old and new forms of anti-Semitism.

We will read, discuss and include a number of texts and films. The list below is more than we can actually do in one semester. So please understand it as a list of suggestions and let me know at your earliest convenience whether you are interested in any specific text for your presentation/paper. The texts marked with # are for smaller presentations, i.e. for students who do not want to write a term paper, but just participate.

in FlexNow!: 09.08.2016-23.01.2017 (10:00-23:59)

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:

In this seminar we will study trends and schools in literary theory since the 1950s. We may discuss key texts by thinkers identified with formalism and structuralism, deconstruction and poststructuralism, gender studies and queer theory, psychoanalytical criticism, (Neo)Marxism and Cultural Materialism, New Historicism, postcolonial criticism and reader-response theory.
Depending on the participants personal interests, we may also consider more recent approaches like ecocriticism and possible-worlds theory or less "canonized" theories (e.g. systems theory).

The course is intended to assist students in both finding 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).

Inhalt:

“In 1872, W. H. Mallock published a mock-literary cookbook for aspiring poets. One ‘recipe’ was entitled ‘How to Write a Modern Pre-Raphaelite Poem’. Among the recommended ingredients were: ‘obsolete and unintelligible’ words, ‘a perfectly vacant atmosphere’, ‘three damozels, dressed in straight nightgowns’, ‘a stone wall’, ‘trees and flowers’, as well as stars, aureoles and lilies. ‘When you have arranged all these objects rightly,’ the recipe continued, ‘take a cast of them in the softest part of your brain, and pour in your word-composition.’” Dinah Roe introduces her anthology of writings of The Pre-Raphaelits from Rossetti to Ruskin (2010) with this entertaining summary of a contemporary critic. The Pre-Raphaelite Movement began in 1848, and experienced its peak in the 1860s and 1870s. Pre-Raphaelite poetry was influenced by Romanticism, but developed independent ideas, forms and focuses. This movement tried to escape the industrialised world and concentrated on idealistic themes such as romantic love and poetic imagination. It finally became utterly divorced from reality when it emphasized art for art’s sake.

We will discuss the works of poetry and art categorised as belonging to Pre-Raphaelitism and try to establish an understanding that goes beyond the contemporary criticism of rejecting it as naive rather conceptualising it as a counter-culture opposing Victorian earnestness and realism.

Pre-Raphaelite poets include Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, Algernon Charles Swinburne, George Meredith, Christina Rossetti, William Bell Scott, William Allingham, Arthur O’Shaughnessy and John Payne. Painters such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, James Collinson and Frederic Stephens, and others opposed the aesthetics of the London’s Royal Academy of Arts founding the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) in 1848. In a period of revolutions, the movement remained astonishingly apolitical with the exception of William Morris and Swinburne.
