Inhalt:
After being widely discussed in the 1970 and 80s, new religious movements, cults and sects gradually faded from the attention of the general public and the academy in following decades. Recently, however, there has been a new interest in religious minority groups and social movements centered on charismatic leaders – as evidenced by Netflix’ documentary Wild, Wild Country (2018) or the reporting on the 2019 trial of NXIVM members.

The seminar tries to understand cults, sects and fringe groups against the backdrop of American cultural history and a number of theoretical approaches. In the historical part of the class, we will study the reasons why religious minorities could flourish in America and why certain areas, namely the “Burned-over District” of western New York State, were particularly gripped by revivalist religious fervor in the nineteenth century. The origins of the Mormons and the Jehovah’s Witnesses will thus be highlighted.

The focus of the seminar will be on religious fringe groups in the second half of the 20th century and the present. We will look at ways the counterculture of the 1960s prepared the ground for alternative spiritualties and communal lifestyles in the 1970s and 80s, e.g. in the Peoples Temple or Rajneesh Movement. We will also take the impact of science (fiction) and UFO beliefs on religious groups into consideration, e.g. in Scientology, Heaven’s Gate or the Nation of Islam.

Apart from studying individual cults and sects, the seminar will pay attention to overarching issues that are widely discussed in the academic literature on new religious movements: Are the distinctions between mainstream religions on the one hand and sects and cults on the other really expedient and what are the advantages and disadvantages of these terms? How can we understand the psychology of cult membership? Does the term brainwashing have any explanatory power? What are the motives of the anti-cult movement? How have eschatological ideas transformed over time? What is the role of women in cults? Assuming a meta-perspective on the study of new religious movements, we will also look at the controversies between cult apologists and cult critics, sometimes called the “cult wars.”

Inhalt:
The word Darwinism is often used to refer to concepts and trends in science, philosophy, society and culture that go beyond the more narrowly subscribed object of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. This seminar indeed pursues a wide approach and looks at several ramifications of evolutionary theory in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. After studying William Paley’s arguments for the creation of the world in his Natural Theology (1802), we will throw glances at a few early proponents of the “transmutation of species”, particularly Erasmus Darwin, Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck and Robert Chambers and also consider the impact of Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology (1830-1833). In order to fully appreciate the development of Charles Darwin’s ideas, we will read excerpts of his most important publications, i.e. The Voyage of the Beagle (1839), The Origin of Species (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871). A major emphasis will be on the controversies these publications triggered – like the clashes between Thomas Huxley and Bishop Samuel Wilberforce at Oxford or the debates between Asa Gray and Louis Agassiz at Harvard. In a further step, we will ask how evolutionary ideas were appropriated by other branches of knowledge and how they were treated in literary texts, e.g. by Robert Louis Stevenson and Joseph Conrad. The term social Darwinism, popularized by the American historian Richard Hofstadter, is generally used to refer to branches of laissez-faire capitalism, specific notions of racial superiority and the support for eugenics. Texts by Francis Galton and Karl Pearson from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries illustrate some of these aberrations. In the later part of the semester, we will learn more about the controversies regarding the teaching of evolution or creationism in schools, particularly in the US. At the end of the semester, we will critically discuss the almost hagiographic reverence Darwin enjoys in certain parts of the scientific community in Britain and the US.

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, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, the media and technology, America as nature s nation and America and the world; 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 kinds of texts in their cultural contexts. Our primary materials 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 literary studies seminar, which is particularly, though not exclusively, directed at students in teachers training programmes, pursues two interrelated goals. First of all, it sets out to understand the short story as a literary genre in its own right by drawing on theoretical explanations. Secondly, it wants to review tendencies within postcolonial literature, a segment of English writing in which the short story has been disproportionately represented. The following are the guiding questions of the seminar: What is the experience of reading a (postcolonial) short story? Why has the short story been such a popular choice for the disempowered? Is this genre particularly suited for the representation of marginalized identities? What are the major themes of postcolonial short stories? What categories of postcolonial stories can we distinguish? What analytical tools are provided by postcolonial theory for understanding this kind of literature? Authors discussed in the seminar include James Matthews, Nadine Gordimer, Ben Okri, Salman Rushdie, and Chinua Achebe.

Most stories for the seminar will be provided on the Virtual Campus at the beginning of the semester.

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.
