INSTITUT FÜR ANGLISTIK UND AMERIKANISTIK
Wintersemester 2007/2008
Allgemeine Informationen finden Sie unter www.englisch.fb15.uni-dortmund.de
Wichtige Informationen des Instituts für Anglistik und Amerikanistik
1) Umzug
Die Sanierung des Gebäudes Emil-Figge-Str. 50 (EF 50) bringt ab kommendem
Wintersemester wieder einige Änderungen mit sich: Die Anglistik zieht um in die
Joseph-von-Fraunhofer-Str. 23 (JvF23). Sie werden die Büros der MitarbeiterInnen ab August dort im Erdgeschoss finden. Die Amerikanistik hingegen verlässt
den Hauert und zieht zurück in ihre nun sanierten Räumlichkeiten in der EF 50
(Gebäudeteil D). Die Veranstaltungen werden ebenfalls in andere Räumlichkeiten
verlegt, achten Sie bitte auf die Informationen in den Veranstaltungskommentaren.
2) Anmeldeverfahren
Das Institut beabsichtigt in diesem Semester das Anmeldeverfahren für Lehrveranstaltungen zu verbessern und teilweise elektronisch laufen zu lassen (über
ews). Da das ews-Anmeldeverfahren in diesem Umfang aber noch nicht erprobt
ist, müssen Sie sich für Lehrveranstaltungen der Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften am 10.10 2007 noch per Listeneintrag anmelden.
(Wenn das System funktioniert, erfolgt ab SoSe 2008 die gesamte Anmeldung
elektronisch.) Eine wichtige Änderung in Bezug auf den Listeneintrag ist, dass Sie
aus Fairness den anderen Wartenden gegenüber höchstens zwei Personen pro
Liste eintragen dürfen. Wenn Sie mehr Namen eintragen, werden diese gestrichen. Details zum Listenaushang entnehmen Sie bitte den Kommentaren zu den
einzelnen Lehrveranstaltungen. Nach den jeweiligen Erstanmeldungsterminen
hängen die Listen in der Anglistik (JvF 23) bzw. Amerikanistik (Foyer EF 50).
Die Einführungsveranstaltung findet am Montag,
08.10.2007, 16:00 – 18:00 Uhr, im H1/EF 50 statt.
Veranstaltungen beginnen am 15.10.2007

Course Registration Procedure WS 07/08
Course registration in Fachdidaktik and Linguistics will now take place online.
Students can register at the end of this semester (09/07-20/07) for courses for the
next semester.
The procedure is similar to that already in place for Sprachpraxis.
The form will be on the Course Registration site on EWS1 (formerly Sprachpraxis): http://www.ews.uni-dortmund.de/Spra [note that the address is case sensitive, i.e. it must be “Spra” on the end and not “spra”.
Students will be asked to give their preferences for Grund- and/or Hauptstudium
courses.
If students wish to take more than one course in one Bereich, e.g. 2 or more
Hauptseminars in Fachdidaktik, they will be able to indicate this on the form.
However, they should be aware that our first priority is to ensure that every student is able to get one course.
Students will receive an email on 20/07 confirming that we have received their
application. If they do not receive an email on this date (please check spam folders first), they should email their course preferences directly to
iaa.coursereg@googlemail.com, and their details will be added to the database.
On 27/07 students will receive an email letting them know what courses we have
been able to offer them. If they wish to take this course, they can simply show up
to the first course. If they cannot accept the offer of a place, we ask them to email
us ASAP, so that we can offer their place to another student. If they wish to swap
with another student, both students have to write to us to confirm the swap.
The email for all course registration queries is iaa.coursereg@googlemail.com.
We are aware that the EWS1 webspace is being phased out, but we do not anticipate this having any impact on course registration this semester.

Linguistics is the study of both language and languages - that is, the object of
study can be human language in general, and an individual language like English,
respectively or in conjunction. As every participant in this class will be a
competent language user, our conscious or implicit knowledge of language will
form a starting point, from which we will depart to the various levels of linguistic
description:
- phonetics (the study of the sounds of language)
- phonology (the study of the sound system of a language)
- morphology (the formal analysis of words and word forms)
- syntax (the study of sentences and of the rules by which they are
formed)
- semantics (the study of meaning - both of words and sentences).
As human language is a means of communication, some non-linguistic (or
extralinguistic) circumstances of language use and their influence on language
will also be introduced and discussed.
Credits will be awarded on the basis of:
a)
a mid-term written exam on phonetics and phonology;
b)
an end-of-term written exam on morphology, semantics, and syntax.
Participants will have to secure a PASS in both of these.
The class will be accompanied by a tutorial (one hour per week)

This proseminar is designed to help you analyse English sentences and clauses,
so that you will acquire some basic knowledge about the way English syntax is
supposed to work – including attempts to explain syntactic structure. The emphasis lies on providing practical skills in describing syntactic structure. Topics we
will be looking at include syntactic functions (subject, object, predicator, etc.),
word classes and their behaviour in sentences, phrase structure (i.e. noun, verb,
and adjective phrases), clause structure and clause types.
The course requirements are regular and active participation plus a written endof-term test.

"Language without meaning is meaningless." Most people, no doubt, would agree
with this statement, even if they might have to brood about its meaning a little. So
what exactly is "meaning"? Semantics as the branch of linguistics studying the
nature of meaning in language is concerned with finding an answer to this question. We will, therefore, in this seminar be looking at different theories of meaning
and various approaches to the study of meaning incorporating both structural and
cognitive perspectives, building on knowledge you have acquired in the Introduction to Linguistics. Successful completion of the Introduction to Linguistics is
therefore a requirement for attending this seminar.
The course requirements include regular and active participation, fulfilment of
homework assignments, and a written final exam.
If you get a place in this seminar, please send an e-mail to
"barbara.jansing@udo.edu" giving your full name, course of studies and
semester. From the beginning of the WS 2007/08 the seminar will be supported
by an EDO-Workspace (http://ews2.uni-dortmund.de) for which you should look
out and register. If you have any questions concerning content or organisation of
the seminar, don't hesitate to contact me at the above named e-mail address.

Pragmatics is the discipline of linguistics that primarily deals with how we use
language in everyday situations. We will see that this is quite another “ball game”
than pure semantics because factors such as speaker intentions or situational
contexts come into play. This means the pragmatic meaning of an utterance is
often quite different from the semantic meaning. Consider for instance how we
can implicitly communicate an answer to a question by changing the subject (“So
how do you like my new hair cut?” – “You know, I think you should wear a hat
more often. You’re a hat person, anyway”). Even not giving any response at all even though you clearly could have - can communicate an opinion, e.g. remaining
silent in response to “I think I’ve become fat, don’t you think?” can make the
speaker think you agree with that observation, whereas in response to “I’m a very
good driver, don’t you think?” remaining silent might signal disagreement. In addition to that we will also see what the structure of longer conversations in everyday
situations can tell us about how the participants both communicate linguistic
meaning in interaction as well as how they use communication strategies to negotiate their social status relative to the other members of the exchange.
Participants will be required to do a presentation, actively participate in class as
well as pass a written test at the end of term. A reader will be made available by
the beginning of the semester.

How do we form new words, and how do we understand words we have never
encountered before, without even using a dictionary? Why are some words
possible, but not accepted? These are the fundamental questions we will
address, building on your knowledge of morphology acquired in the Introduction
to Linguistics. We will come to know the principal methods employed by the
English language in forming words, as exemplified in:
a) unkind, overtax, ablaze
b) baker, witches, cohesive, organize
c) apple-tree, racing car, screwdriver, singer-songwriter, blackboard, redcoat
d) stone n., v.; dry adj., v.
The course requirements include regular and active participation, fulfilment of
homework assignments, and a written end-of-term test.

During the history of linguistics, language has most often been studied and
viewed as a fairly logical system comprising rigid grammatical structures and
clearly identifiable connections between linguistic expressions and their meanings.
In this seminar we will consider language in a different way. We will not see it as
an autonomous mental system, but as being determined by our bodies and particular discourse situations as well. In this endeavour we will become familiar with
ideas coming from areas of research such as cognitive linguistics, pragmatics and
psycholinguistics. More particularly, a major focus will be on the significance of
metaphor and metonymy in making sense of our surroundings and language.
Traditionally, metaphors and metonymies have only been seen as exceptional
uses of language – mere ornaments in decorating language. This assumption
could not be further from the truth. (Just consider the last sentence you read; it is
not poetic at all, but you may find up to three metaphorically used expressions in
it.) Instead, metaphor is a pervasive feature of language. Since the groundbreaking work of Lakoff and Johnson (Metaphors We Live By, 1980), the study of
conceptual metaphor and of corresponding metaphorical expressions has been in
the focus of much work in the burgeoning discipline of Cognitive Linguistics.
Meanwhile, metonymy, another well-known poetic device, has not received the
same amount of attention until recently, when it was reconsidered as another
fundamental device of expressing meaning in language, In fact, many scholars
now regard metonymy as even more fundamental than metaphor.
A cursory look at the below mentioned books may help you to decide whether you
may possibly have enough interest to participate in this theory-laden seminar. A
full reading list will be distributed in the first seminar session.
Unfortunately, the seminar cannot take place on a weekly basis. Instead we will
have double sessions on a couple of evenings and perhaps one or two Saturday
sessions. Details concerning dates, room numbers and possible preparatory
reading requirements will be announced on the notice board next to my (former)
office in 3.216 by the end of this summer term – please make sure to check the
announcements regularly and only enrol for this class if you are willing and able to
accept non-standard seminar dates and times.
In order to get the credits for this class, participants will have to attend regularly,
give a presentation, and either sit a written end-of-term test or hand in a written
paper.

Why can we say Jenny saw herself but not *Herself saw Jenny? How come that
we need more than one attempt to make sense of The horse raced past the barn
fell, whereas we all immediately understand The horse ridden past the barn fell?
This course will explore these and a variety of other issues in English sentence
structure, applying a number of different frameworks that have been proposed for
describing and explaining them.
The course requirements include regular and active participation, a presentation,
and either a written final exam or a term paper.

The earliest English texts date back to around 700 - and their language is
extremely different from the English language as we know it. And even if we
consider a text from the end of the 14th century, we will find it more recognizable,
but still far from easily readable. Shakespeare's works seem to offer a safe footing
- but why are the sisters in Macbeth weird, and why couldn't Shakespeare find
correct rhymes, at least some of the time? Then again, Shakespeare's language
is markedly different from 14th century English, and even more so from the
earliest texts. The explanation to all this lies in the fact that English is a language,
and languages are forever subject to change, be it in pronunciation, vocabulary,
or syntax. We will outline some of the major changes which have affected the
English language over its long history, and which have contributed to its present
shape. In the process, we will consider some basics about historical linguistics,
i.e. the description and explanation of language change. This will involve the
search for causes of linguistic change, which may be found inside language itself,
but also in the cultural circumstances in which languages are embedded.
Credits will be given for regular attendance, submitting a series of exercises, and
the end-of-term written test.

Though there is not a one-to-one correspondence between language and nationality, language is strongly associated with national identity and language issues
can often be highly-charged an emotional. This sense of identity can come into
conflict with minority language communities; this course will explore the issues
raised by the existence of such communities and seek to place the individual
within the context of the larger society. Among the communities to be considered
are the Turkish-speaking minority within Germany and the growing Spanishspeaking minority in the United States. The presence of minority languages has
not always been embraced. In the U.S., for example, the English Only/Official
English movement seeks to remove Spanish from the public sphere. Citizenship
policies, instructional languages, bilingual classrooms, multilingual government
and community services all have an impact on the support of minority language
speakers. This course will compare the place of minority languages in American
and German societies and will consider the role of language policy and legal restrictions, methods of minority language instruction, generational and intergenerational language development, and the impact of community on shaping
language use. Literary approaches of immigrant authors and the portrayal of immigrant language in television and film will be considered alongside secondary
readings to help address questions such as the following: What is identity, what
does it mean to different people, and what shapes its definition? What role does
language play in determining identity? How can being a “linguistic outsider” affect
the development of one’s identity, and what consequences might that status
have? What makes language differences so emotionally charged? What motivates members of the majority who seek to limit the use of minority languages
and how are the issues that they raise dealt with and discussed?

When we consider this text-message poem by Hetty Hughes it becomes clear
that language use is defined to a large extent by its context. In many cases this
context is fairly unpredictable, which brings philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein to
observe that “in a conversation one person throws a ball; the other does not know
whether he is supposed to throw it back, or throw it to a third person, or leave it
on the ground, or pick it up and put it in his pocket”. Research in linguistics, sociology and communication studies has named this ball-game discourse, promoting
discourse analysis (DA) as a means of investigating language use.

In this class we will deal with issues of bilingualism as an acquisition process,
bilingualism in the context of education, bilingual programs such as immersion and CLIL and the various types of educational programs in Germany.
The publication Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism by
Colin Baker will be a set book for this part. It will be available as a copy version.
We will also try out ideas of how to develop a bilingual module – one example will
be based on the publication The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery, published
2006.
In line with the theoretical concepts we will furthermore develop and discuss and
try out concrete methodological examples of bilingual lessons.#
A list of further publications will be provided.
There will be a final test for those who need it and there will also be enough topics
for critical papers.
Sprachpraxis
1. Studienphase
The programme of courses offered as part of the Sprachpraxis module consists
of Integrated Foundation Courses (IFCs) and Written and Oral Communication
Courses (WOCs). You should attend one of each type of course, starting with an
IFC (4SWS) and subsequently moving on to a WOC (2SWS). These course types
are described in greater detail below.
Students in their first semester should enrol for an IFC; details of how to enrol
will be given at the introductory session for new students on Monday, October 8th
(2 p.m. in Hörsaal 1).
All other students should apply for Sprachpraxis courses online through the
EWS site. For details of the procedure for applying for a place in a course, please
see the notices on departmental noticeboards or visit the EWS website for
Sprachpraxis.
(www.ews.uni-dortmund.de/Spra)
Integrated Foundation Courses(IFC)
The aim of these courses is to provide systematic and interconnected language
training. Hence, all IFCs will contain elements of pronunciation training, grammar
practice, mistakes recognition, listening and reading comprehension, and some
discussions. Please note that IFCs are 4-hour courses; groups will not be split
and a maximum of 30 students will be able to attend each course. Once you join
an IFC, you will be required to attend both parts regularly.

2. Studienphase
These courses are open both to LPO 2003 students and to those studying under
the BML regulations.If you are studying under LPO 2003, it is vital that you check
which courses you are required to take in the Hauptstudium. The requirements
differ depending on which qualification you are working towards (e.g. GHR, BK,
etc.). For information on this point, see the WHAT NOW? Sprachpraxis in the
Hauptstudium notice.
You must register in advance for Sprachpraxis courses in the Hauptstudium; to
do so, visit the EWS webspace for Sprachpraxis and choose the course(s) you
wish to take. The number of places in each course will be limited.
Academic Writing
These courses aim at developing the understanding and writing of academic English and will guide students through the processes of text analysis, evaluation,
drafting and editing. Classroom work will focus on identifying features of language
at different levels of textual design and will show how vocabulary and grammar
relate to the rhetorical function and context of communication. Model essays and
practice material will be available during the course of the seminar. Students will
be expected to contribute work on a regular basis. Access to these classes will be
regulated through the EWS intranet platform.

Translation
For SEK I and SEK II students, this is advanced practice in translation into English with the demands of the final examination (alte Studienordnung) very much in
mind. For students studying under the 2003 regulations, this course will provide
practice in translation and give you the opportunity to gain the credit points for
translation required in the respective HS module. For BML students these
courses are vital to complete Module 10. The translation classes will run parallel:
it would not, therefore, be sensible to attend more than one. Students attending
any of these classes will be expected to prepare texts in advance of each session
and to hand in work for marking. Students studying under the LPO 2003 and BML
regulations are required to have two translation assignments accepted (i.e. with
pass grades) in the course of the term to gain the credit points for this course.

Englische Fachdidaktik
Course Registration Procedure WS 07/08
Course registration in Fachdidaktik and Linguistics will now take place online.
Students can register at the end of this semester (09/07-20/07) for courses for the
next semester.
The procedure is similar to that already in place for Sprachpraxis.
The form will be on the Course Registration site on EWS1 (formerly Sprachpraxis): http://www.ews.uni-dortmund.de/Spra [note that the address is case sensitive, i.e. it must be “Spra” on the end and not “spra”.
Students will be asked to give their preferences for Grund- and/or Hauptstudium
courses.
If students wish to take more than one course in one Bereich, e.g. 2 or more
Hauptseminars in Fachdidaktik, they will be able to indicate this on the form.
However, they should be aware that our first priority is to ensure that every student is able to get one course.
Students will receive an email on 20/07 confirming that we have received their
application. If they do not receive an email on this date (please check spam folders first), they should email their course preferences directly to
iaa.coursereg@googlemail.com, and their details will be added to the database.
On 27/07 students will receive an email letting them know what courses we have
been able to offer them. If they wish to take this course, they can simply show up
to the first course. If they cannot accept the offer of a place, we ask them to email
us ASAP, so that we can offer their place to another student. If they wish to swap
with another student, both students have to write to us to confirm the swap.
The email for all course registration queries is iaa.coursereg@googlemail.com.
We are aware that the EWS1 webspace is being phased out, but we do not anticipate this having any impact on course registration this semester.

Work in this seminar will focus on recent articles dealing with current ideas and
good models of teaching practice in EFL methodology. Issues to be covered will
include topics such as the lexical approach, new ideas in teaching vocabulary, the
use of simulations in cross-cultural training, methods and issues in task-based
learning, and fresh ideas in teaching drama and literature. Working on this material will reveal the humanistic stance underlying most recent work in the field and
create hands-on experience of how this style of teaching might help empower
school students to become responsible for their own learning. Articles for this
seminar will be posted on the eponymous ews2 website from September on.

Why use games in the English language classroom?
“There are many valid reasons for using games, not least amongst them the
sheer enjoyment of a moment of relaxation after some arduous drilling, or as a
short respite after prolonged deskwork.”
George P. McCallum
This seminar will look into the various types of games which can be used in the
English language classroom.
The books we shall be looking at include
“Elementary Vocabulary games” Jill Hadfield
“Vocabulary games and activities for teachers” Peter Watcyn-Jones
“Games for children” Gordon Lewis with Günther Bedson
“101 word games” George P. McCallum
“Games for language learning” Andrew Wright, et al
“Language games and contests” W R Lee
“Play and practise” Anthony Chamberlin
“Lernspiele im Englishunterricht” Friederike Klippel

Project work has been described as a versatile vehicle for fully integrated language and content teaching. In this course we will discuss its various features
and configurations and how it relates to associated teaching practices such as
cooperative learning or task-oriented activities. Special focus will be on the question of how to effectively integrate the language teaching component into project
work and the content-based classroom. We will also review practical examples of
project work at schools in Germany and abroad, such as Legutke’s Airport Project
or email contacts with partner schools abroad. Participants should be prepared to
develop their own ideas for project work.
As of September 2007, an EDO-Workspace (ews2.uni-dortmund.de) will be supported for this course, which will provide information on course requirements and
reading materials. Please register for this workspace before coming to the first
session. If you have any questions concerning the content or organization of this

In this course we will discuss texts which deal with the question of why and how
we should read literary texts in the foreign language classroom and develop teaching units for a variety of novels and short narratives, including the traditional
short story, the fable as well as poems and pop songs Students will also be encouraged to present teaching units for literary texts of their own choice. The course will discuss ways of teaching selected literary texts in the EFL classroom at
different levels (primary and secondary level). Requirements for a /Schein/ will be
announced in the first session. A reader will be made available at the UniCenter

In this class it is the aim, on the one hand, to get involved both in the theory of
“Literaturdidaktik” and in descriptions of relevant methodological concepts and,
on the other hand, it is a major objective to look at different modern dramas or
dramatic texts and find out if and why and how these dramas can be used for
teaching and learning purposes at the level of Sek II. We will start off with plays
by Samuel Beckett. Further plays will be added to the list.
A reading list will be provided.
Every participant will take part in discussions about Literaturdidaktik and in developing prototypical teaching units based on the selected plays.

Einsatzes von Literatur und Film im Englischunterricht diskutiert. Vor allem sollen
die Studierenden Lerneinheiten und -sequenzen konzipieren und (wenn gewünscht) auch im Seminar unterrichten.

In our class there will be a major focus on:
The role of grammar, vocabulary and phonetics in EFL learning and
teaching at various levels,
Interactive competences in the classroom,
The underlying concepts of second language acquisition,
Language awareness.
Results of the DESI study will be taken into account both with regard to the competence levels of students in various school contexts and with reference to written
scripts of real lessons. The curricula of NRW and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages will be included in our considerations as a
guideline of what should be the linguistic target in EFL language lessons. Special
attention will be given to the situation in the primary school, to issues at Sek I
and in the context of vocational schools.
Based on the research findings in second language acquisition studies we will ask
ourselves to what extent student can benefit from explicit and implicit language
knowledge.
Consequently, we will analyse and discuss the role of formal aspects in the language development process and we will apply the insights gained from these
discussions to concrete examples of EFL teaching in the classroom.

The course, which has been completely re-designed for this semester (new
schedule incl. primary and secondary literature, Reader, assignments, working
methods) introduces participants to major issues of literary theory and criticism,
literary history, genre poetics, and textual analysis. Additionally it offers students
the possibility of training their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in British
Literary Studies as well as the writing of academic papers by producing term papers of their own to be discussed in class, in oral presentations.
The papers and oral presentations will study exemplary texts (poetry, fiction, nonfiction, drama) from early modernity to the present. Both the discussions in class
and individual work on the papers and presentations will familiarize participants
with a considerable range of important works of British literature. This is a sound
basis for further work in the more advanced stages of your studies.

The course introduces students to literary theory and criticism, genre poetics and
textual analysis. The relevance of the various critical approaches will invariably be
tested by means of their application to primary texts from various genres (poetry,
fiction, and drama) and different historical epochs.
We shall be reading exemplary texts by English and Irish authors, among them
William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Jane Austen, Wilfred Owen, E.M.
Forster, Virginia Woolf, David Herbert Lawrence, and James Joyce.
The complexity of modern drama and theatre will be exemplified through a discussion of Tennessee Williams’ "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1947). Another
reading will be "Don’t Look Now" (1970) by Daphne du Maurier. This will help us
adopt a critical attitude towards literary criticism. Rumour has it that Mrs du
Maurier belongs to the genre of “pulp fiction”. But some voices also hold that this
short novel is a masterpiece of a modern gothic (or better: fantastic?) tale. This
contrast will certainly encourage us to come up with our own ideas.
Team work activities are an integral part of the course because to share meaning
and understanding with other participants deepens our reading process.
If time permits, creative writing activities and likewise some acting in connection
with selected primary texts will be included in order to increase the participants’
awareness of the creative character of interpretation itself.
Last but not least students will learn how to write a scholarly and also elegant
English essay. They will discover essential differences between German, British
and American conventions of essay-writing. Some exercises for improving one’s
idiomatic style will help to give the participants’ English a more “English” ring.
The presuppositions for passing the course successfully are regular and active
participation.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) is regarded as one of England's leading novelists
whose works depict English country life and provide a vivid portrait of the English
middle and upper classes in the early 19th century. Among her famous novels are
Sense and Sensibility (1811) and Pride and Prejudice (1813) which will be the
focus of this seminar. Her novels commonly revolve around marriage and the
importance of finding a good husband in the self-contained world of provincial
ladies since a suitable marriage was the main factor in defining a woman's social
status. With regard to her style Austen's novels are often praised for their irony
and humour as well as their plausibility and lively depiction of real life. The students of English literature in this seminar will strengthen their skills at analysing
works dealing with Jane Austen by using literary terminology as well as by identifying underlying theoretical assumptions of the different critical approaches found
in the secondary literature. A written final exam will be administered at the end of
the semester. The required reading for this seminar can be found in our departmental library in the "Semesterhandapparat" at the beginning of the semester.

William Butler Yeats is generally considered to be one of the most important English-language poets of the 20th century. He wrote several volumes of poetry and
produced his most acknowledged work in later life; in 1923 he was then awarded
the Nobel Prize for Literature. He also wrote prose and drama and was one of the
founders of the Dublin Abbey Theatre, one of the central institutions in the development of the Irish Renaissance, which shows his interest in Irish national affairs,
cultures and traditions.
In this seminar, we will have a closer look at the different phases in his life, biographical developments, literary achievement and political involvement (he was a
member of the Irish Senate from 1922 to 1928). We will read poetry and plays
and discuss the literary and cultural contexts of his works.
A reader for this seminar will be provided at the beginning of the semester.
Course requirements will be discussed in the first session.

This seminar will highlight the extent to which film theory is an integral part of the
cultural studies movement and how it has frequently been in the vanguard of developments in this field. At a more personal level, the seminar aims to show how
knowledge of film theory can enhance one’s own appreciation of movies. We will
watch films which have played a significant role in film history and/or theory and
read commentaries which will exemplify some typical forms of modern film criticism. Movies to be watched will include Welles’s Citizen Kane, Wilder’s Double
Indemnity, Hitchcock’s Spellbound, Lean’s Great Expectations, and Godard’s
Breathless. Approaches to be studied will include psychoanalytic, materialistic
and auteur-based theories. More complete information will be posted on the
eponymous ews2 website from September on. Students participating in this compact seminar will also need to take part in the preliminary meetings, to prepare a
group presentation of a movie, and to watch all the films to be discussed before
the seminar starts. Copies of the films will be available in the video library. Students who are unwilling or unable to do this work may find themselves excluded
from the seminar.

This Proseminar will explore the subtle narrative techniques as used by three
authors who write scintillating short stories because they detect the subtlety of the
human psyche.
As for Katherine Mansfield, we shall not only consider the way whereby she most
vividly depicts the problems of adulthood but also concentrate on how she contrasts the latter with those of the children’s world.
Joyce’ collection Dubliners (1914) covers life from adolescence to maturity, and in
addition provides us with a critical insight into the Irish culture of the early 20th
century.
Last but not least, Virginia Woolf shows her protagonists’ lack of orientation in a
world that is incompatible with their desires. Hence, in her prose, perhaps still to a
larger extent than in the short stories by Mansfield and Joyce, Woolf employs the
stream-of-consciousness technique which has made her so very famous till
nowadays.
In spite of the thematic differences indicated above, the seminar will put particular
emphasis on what the three writers do actually have in common: All of them show
a most artistic handling of narrative techniques (free indirect discourse, interior
monologue, stream of consciousness, figural narrative situation), which are invariably in line with the aim to reveal how the human mind works. Thus, they arrive at complex figural portraits that never fail to evoke the reader’s pity for those
who lead the life that they do not want to live.
The short story that we might, rather traditionally, associate with a slice of life,
becomes somewhat less short here due to the elaborate flows of mind that are,
by the way, also typical of Joyce’ and Woolf’s novels. Therefore the seminar will
also give the participants the opportunity to make themselves familiar with such
difficult writing and might be invitation enough to go on to read Joyce’ and Woolf’s
novels, too.
A Reader will be made available at the beginning of term.
The different tasks to accomplish in order to get credit for the seminar will be explained in the course of the first session.

This seminar will trace the aesthetics of irrationality in literature and the fine arts
that have inspired writers and painters alike. Our critical investigation will start in
the second half of the 18th century when Horace Walpole published “The Castle
of Otranto” and founded the Gothic Novel as a literary genre. Next we will consider the Orientalism of “Vathek” by William Beckford, one of the most eccentric
writers of his time, and last but not least finish our discussion with the more philosophical inclinations of Mary Shelley’s 19th century novel “Frankenstein”.
One may regard the Gothic as a phenomenon spanning the arts and therefore
indicative of a “Zeitgeist” rebelling against the rationalism of the 18th century.
Authors of the Gothic novel moved away from the Neo-classic ideals of order and
reason and towards the inviting shades of a more mysterious interpretation of life.
They opened up new psychological areas of experience for the novel which are
manifested in their contemplation of the possibilities of the numinous, the abnormal or monstrous. In a similar manner painters discovered the architectural
equivalent to the sublime horror of the Gothic novel in their depiction of Gothic
architecture, picturesque landscapes, and irrational prisons scenes.
In the seminar we will discuss novels as being representative for a particular
genre and, notwithstanding the differences between the work of such individual
authors as Walpole, Beckford and Shelley, we shall identify recurring motifs that
should be understood in a general cultural context.
Assigments for students include active participation and two response papers.
Our discussion will be based on the following edition:
Three Gothic Novels: The Castle of Otranto, Vathek, Frankenstein, Peter Fairclough (Ed.) with an Introductory Essay by Mario Praz, London: Penguin Classics
1986.

In David Cronenberg’s latest film “A History of Violence” (2005) there is a scene
where we observe a teenage couple hanging out by themselves in what seems to
be a typical American sub-urban setting, sharing a joint, watching the cars passing by. The girl asks her boyfriend what life will be like once they have grown up.
The answer is pretty straightforward: “We will get jobs, we will get married, we will
have affairs and become alcoholics.”
It is the conundrum of youth and the privilege of adolescence to do nothing while
at the very same time seemingly going through and knowing everything.
In this seminar we will approach the stage of adolescence in British literature from
a variety of angles. We will start with an analysis of Martin Amis’ novel “The Rachel Papers”. Amis presents the story of a young man who has yet to learn to
come to terms with his sexuality, his intelligence and the fact that you are easily
hurt when you are young and in love, but also hurt others just as easily.
We will then encounter the strange world of Frank Cauldhame invented by the
Scottish writer Ian Banks in his critically acclaimed novel “The Wasp Factory”.
Frank is a sixteen year old boy growing up on a small Scottish island. The centre
of his life is a bizarre ritual of his own invention that protects his sensitive being
against the outside world and forces beyond his control. There is an air of the
fantastic and Gothic about Banks’ novel which makes it intriguing to read.
Jackie Kay’s collection of poetry will then show us the troubles of adolescence
from a very personal and rather realistic perspective. Born in 1961 as daughter of
a Scottish mother and Nigerian father, Jackie Kay published poems under the title
“The Adoption Papers”. They correspond to the author’s experience of being
adopted by a white couple at birth and her quest of identity.
Assigments for students include active participation and two response papers.
For ur discussion the following texts are recommended and should be purchased
by the participants:
Martin Amis, The Rachel Papers, Vintage Books 1992
Ian Banks, The Wasp Factory, Little, Brown Book Group 1992

We shall analyse essential developments in drama since Shakespeare and, as far
as possible, relate them to social and cultural factors. The selected plays show
characteristic aspects of the historical period, of specific dramatic techniques, or
they elaborate unusual themes. The play will be seen in the historical context and
in the general development of drama.
In our exercises we will discuss various possibilities of producing the plays. This
includes the setting, lighting, dressing, and the movements on the stage, but
above all the performance of the individual actor, his interaction with others, and
the way(s) in which he speaks his text, together with his body language. Hopefully
some students will prepare short scenes to be presented to the seminar, possibly
also the same scene produced in essentially diffferent ways.

th
Towards the end of the 19 century, the relative stability of mid-Victorian society –
epitomized by the success of the Great Exhibition (1851) – began to crumble. The
interrelated processes of industrialisation, urbanisation and demographic change
produced social fragmentation, intellectual doubt and need of orientations which
threatened the prevailing integrated sense of self-identity and national identity.
Hitherto marginalised voices of dissent became louder: the women’s movement,
the working-class movement, the campaign for Irish independence (or, at least,
home rule), the colonised subjects worldwide – they all questioned the right and
might of the centre.
The resulting fin-de-siècle anxieties found their particularly dramatic forms in literary texts. In the course we shall deal with stories, tales and novels by, amongst
others, Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, Henry James and
Joseph Conrad. A reader will be available by the end of September. The following
books should be bought and read before the beginning of the course:

The years between 1910 and 1945 are often regarded as one of the richest
periods in British and American literature providing a paradigmatic shift in all
forms of the arts as well as in aesthetic perception. Artists who lived through this
period and the horror of the two World Wars challenged old principles and
dedicated themselves to the formula “to make it new”. It was the time of
movements, manifestos and various Isms such as Imagism, Vorticism, Futurism,
Dadaism or Cubism of which some proved to be influential and some to be only
short-lived.
This seminar aims to give students a general idea and understanding of the
varieties of modernist poetry, prose and their sister arts – painting and
photography. We will also approach Modernism as an international phenomenon
and hence works of American exiles who lived and worked on the European
continent will also be discussed. Against this background, works by T. S. Eliot,
Ezra Pound, William Butler Yeats, Gertrude Stein, Katherine Mansfield and
Virginia Woolf will be subjected to close analysis in order to trace recurrent formal
principles and thematic aspects.
A reader will be provided at the beginning of the semester. Course requirements
will be discussed in the first session.

Football is not only about the 90 minutes, 22 players and 1 ball. One need not put
it as drastic as legendary Liverpool F.C. manager Bill Shankly who said that “football is not a matter of life and death, but much more than that”; still, the obsession
with which supporters all over the world take part in rituals before, during and
after a match, and the devotion many of them show for their team, speaks for
itself.
England is not only the cradle of the game; it can also be called the birthplace of
fan culture, a culture which is both admired for impressive choreography and
singing, and loathed for its frequent outbursts of violence. In this seminar, we will
try to analyse different factors and approaches that contribute to the phenomenon
of football spectators, football supporters and football fanatics. Among others, we
will touch the fields of sociology, sociolinguistics, psychology, politics, gender
studies and semiotics, in order to get an overall picture of football fan culture from
a cultural studies perspective. Sessions will deal with the historical development
of fan culture, with phenomena like hooliganism and groundhopping, with fans’
musical repertoire, with political or religious implications as we can see them in
Glasgow’s explosive “Old Firm” derby, and a lot more. As for texts, we will read
and discuss various fanzines, short stories and Nick Hornby’s genre-making fan
biography Fever Pitch. Two additional dates for film screenings (Hooligans, Football Factory) will be announced.
Participants should get hold of a copy of the book listed below. A reader with additional readings will be made available at the beginning of the semester. Students are required to contribute widely to our class discussion, to give a short
class presentation and to write two short response essays.
Required Reading: Hornby, Nick. 1992. Fever Pitch. London et al.: Penguin.

William Butler Yeats is generally considered to be one of the most important English-language poets of the 20th century. He wrote several volumes of poetry and
produced his most acknowledged work in later life; in 1923 he was then awarded
the Nobel Prize for Literature. He also wrote prose and drama and was one of the
founders of the Dublin Abbey Theatre, one of the central institutions in the development of the Irish Renaissance, which shows his interest in Irish national affairs,
cultures and traditions.
In this seminar, we will have a closer look at the different phases in his life, biographical developments, literary achievement and political involvement (he was a
member of the Irish Senate from 1922 to 1928). We will read poetry and plays
and discuss the literary and cultural contexts of his works.
A reader for this seminar will be provided at the beginning of the semester.
Course requirements will be discussed in the first session.

Please sign up for the seminar site on ews2. Further information will then be sent
to interested students.
This seminar will highlight the extent to which film theory is an integral part of the
cultural studies movement and how it has frequently been in the vanguard of developments in this field. At a more personal level, the seminar aims to show how
knowledge of film theory can enhance one’s own appreciation of movies. We will
watch films which have played a significant role in film history and/or theory and
read commentaries which will exemplify some typical forms of modern film criticism. Movies to be watched will include Welles’s Citizen Kane, Wilder’s Double
Indemnity, Hitchcock’s Spellbound, Lean’s Great Expectations, and Godard’s
Breathless. Approaches to be studied will include psychoanalytic, materialistic
and auteur-based theories. More complete information will be posted on the
eponymous ews2 website from September on. Students participating in this compact seminar will also need to take part in the preliminary meetings, to prepare a
group presentation of a movie, and to watch all the films to be discussed before
the seminar starts. Copies of the films will be available in the video library. Students who are unwilling or unable to do this work may find themselves excluded
from the seminar.

In one of her novels Nadine Gordimer portrays a white woman: blonde and blueeyed, sympathetic to the cause, she is nevertheless rather colourless, looks like a
pig, cannot compete with the beauty of black African women, and like most of
Gordimer’s white women is only beautiful when in the company of an African
lover, or when dressed in traditional African clothes. Her black women are described as vibrant and mysterious Ruritanian beauties. In black African literature
by contrast the white woman is portrayed much more compassionately and the
black woman is seen for what she was – the mainstay of a society whose emasculated men were unable to take responsibility for their families. Ruth First, Winnie Mandela, Mrs. Sizulu, Janet Suzman are just a few of the names that come to
mind when one thinks of the apartheid struggle. Yet it was the “ordinary” women,
black, white, Coloured, who carried a society divided against itself.
Our goal is to explore the image of women in a section of post World War II
apartheid literature. How were they portrayed? How did they see themselves? In
what kind of a society did they live? What coping mechanisms did they develop
and how did they help guide the society beyond the nightmare reality of racial,
social, political, and economic polarisation?

Nelson Mandela is released from prison. Apartheid comes to an end. Mandela
becomes South Africa’s first black president. The world is stunned: there are to
be no Nuremberg-like trials, there is to be no retribution, there is to be no collective punishment. South Africa, at least for now, does not go the way of other “independent” African countries. Instead, the people of South Africa decide to go
through the process of working through years of mutually inflicted pain. There is
the realization that nobody is either only a victim or only an aggressor. Human
decisions and actions can never be described in terms of “black-and-white”.
South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission becomes the arena in which
South African’s of all races are able to talk about their hurts and sufferings, be-
come willing to ask for and extend forgiveness, and in the catharsis which is part
of such a process, learn that a new way of living together may still be possible.
In this course our goal is to look more closely at the process of truth and reconciliation in a country still bleeding after centuries of injustice and mutually inflicted
suffering. We will try to stand back from our own prejudices and listen to the
voices of people who have decided to face themselves and each other. In how far
can legal documents and stories told in court be considered “literature”? Art
needs to be seen to move beyond the documentary nature of the immediate social context to “challenge the whole of mankind” (Sartre). Do these documents
have any artistic value? Who is the audience? What, beyond the simplistic and
moralistic, is the challenge for other societies?
Required Texts: Excerpts from the documents of the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission;

Cape Breton Island, remotely set at Canada’s eastern coast, increasingly inspires
authors to choose it as setting for their writing. Hence, Cape Breton fiction has
become an essential part of Maritime literature. In this seminar, we shall focus on
two key authors of the region: Alistair MacLeod and D. R. MacDonald. Deeply
rooted in the history, culture and geography of the island, their stories mostly focus on (descendants of) transplanted Scots – or otherwise ‘dislocated’ people –
who struggle to find their place in the (new) world. Most stories are shaped by a
strong sense of belonging, paradoxically entangled with “displacement”; the
power of kinship and memory; and the questioning of life concepts as part of a
continuing quest for identity. Furthermore, central themes are the (imagined)
abandonment of rural life; economic hardship; preservation of heritage; the
search for a new home, and the strong, inseparable ties of origin, family, and
love. Besides the focus on the specific history and culture of the island, we shall
also explore to what extent the issues portrayed are universal ones.
Please study the following two collections of short stories:
MacDonald, D. R. (2003), All the Men are Sleeping. Selected Fiction, Anchor
Canada.
MacLeod, Alistair (2001), Island. The Collected Stories. Emblem Editions.
(Please try to get hold of the editions as indicated, as this will make class discussion easier.)

In this course I should like to deal with Joseph Conrad’s ‘loot from Africa’: his
short story ‘An Outpost of Progress’ (1897), his novella Heart of Darkness (1899,
1901) and Francis Ford Coppola’s re-working of the latter text in his film Apocalypse Now Redux (1979, 2001). Both, Conrad’s novella and Coppola’s film, will be
considered in their respective cultural contexts: the colonial exploitation of the
Congo (engineered by Leopold II of Belgium and condoned by Europe and the
US) and the French and, later, American war in Vietnam.
I recommend the following editions:
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness and Other Tales, ed. Cedric Watts, Oxford –
New York: Oxford University Press (The World’s Classics), 1990. (This edition
also contains ‘An Outpost of Progress’.)

(2001) lists the kingdoms of Kent, Wessex, Bernicia, Deira, Northumbria, Mercia,
Gwynedd, Man and the Isles, Scotland, and Ireland besides the kingdom of England (starting with Alfred the Great). In the first part of the course I should like to
briefly review this history of the rulers of the British Isles down to the present day.
In the second part I should like to discuss the present functions of the monarchy,
and in the third part I should like to focus on cultural roles the monarchy has
played in the reign of Elizabeth II. Particular emphasis will be laid on the role of
the media and the way in which the monarchy has dealt with them.

th
Towards the end of the 19 century, the relative stability of mid-Victorian society –
epitomized by the success of the Great Exhibition (1851) – began to crumble. The
interrelated processes of industrialisation, urbanisation and demographic change
produced social fragmentation, intellectual doubt and need of orientations which
threatened the prevailing integrated sense of self-identity and national identity.
Hitherto marginalised voices of dissent became louder: the women’s movement,
the working-class movement, the campaign for Irish independence (or, at least,
home rule), the colonised subjects worldwide – they all questioned the right and
might of the centre.
The resulting fin-de-siècle anxieties found their particularly dramatic forms in literary texts. In the course we shall deal with stories, tales and novels by, amongst
others, Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, Henry James and
Joseph Conrad. A reader will be available by the end of September. The following
books should be bought and read before the beginning of the course:
Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, ed. Martin A. Danahay, Peter2
borough, Ontario: Braodview Press, 2005. (This edition contains the text and

The years between 1910 and 1945 are often regarded as one of the richest
periods in British and American literature providing a paradigmatic shift in all
forms of the arts as well as in aesthetic perception. Artists who lived through this
period and the horror of the two World Wars challenged old principles and
dedicated themselves to the formula “to make it new”. It was the time of
movements, manifestos and various Isms such as Imagism, Vorticism, Futurism,
Dadaism or Cubism of which some proved to be influential and some to be only
short-lived.
This seminar aims to give students a general idea and understanding of the
varieties of modernist poetry, prose and their sister arts – painting and
photography. We will also approach Modernism as an international phenomenon
and hence works of American exiles who lived and worked on the European
continent will also be discussed. Against this background, works by T. S. Eliot,
Ezra Pound, William Butler Yeats, Gertrude Stein, Katherine Mansfield and
Virginia Woolf will be subjected to close analysis in order to trace recurrent formal
principles and thematic aspects.
A reader will be provided at the beginning of the semester. Course requirements
will be discussed in the first session.

In the course of the past thirty years, the American South has changed significantly and today is economically one of the fastest growing regions in the U.S., a
site of innovation and research, major force of globalization and transnationalism,
and new home to many people from other parts of the United States and all over
the world. Still, in many areas of popular culture, the image of the South has remained that of an isolated and exceptional region: it is either romanticized as the
“Old South” or shown as a more or less odd, rural place where people have little
education and speak with a strange “twang”, and where things take their “own
sweet time”.
This image is also wide-spread in other parts if the world. In this class, we will
look at the German “obsession” with the Southern States and analyze the region’s
representation in Germany: we will look at travel guides, documentaries, newspaper articles, magazines; but also at films and books which are set in the South
and enjoy great popularity in Germany in order to see how “our South” is constructed. Participants will also learn about the ways in which the region has
changed in the past few decades and study how Southerners themselves represent these changes.
The class will largely be designed as a project seminar for students of the “Applied B.A./M.A.” courses of study. Thus, all participants should be prepared to
spend time working on their group projects and present their results at the end of
the semester.
A reader will be made available at the beginning of the semester.

In our critical approach to Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997), we will trace the cultural
relevance of one of America’s most prominent and influential poets since the secth
ond half of the 20 century. After an overview of contemporary U.S.-American
performance poetry as well as a discussion of Beat Poetry and the Beat Generation in particular, we will look at a diverse range of works by Allen Ginsberg himself. Our approach to his poems will be two-fold: on the one hand we will investigate them from a media studies perspective since Ginsberg’s poems range from
live performance to print poems, audio poems, video poems, as well as animated
poems on the Web. Secondly, by means of newspaper articles, scholarly articles,
and reviews as well as by analyzing his poems, we will discuss Ginsberg’s vigorous role as a public figure in the U.S.A., which ranges from gay activist poet and
counter culture rebel to 'Poet in Residence' and 'Distinguished Professor of Literature'.

Families: Love them, hate them, or simply try to ignore them. In the end, all boils
down to one issue: how to cope with them. Literature introduces to readers possible answers to this question. Family narratives have enjoyed a long history of
dealing with humans’ most profound emotions: love, hate, jealousy, boredom,
grief… The list is endless, and so seem to be the reasons for transforming these
emotions into narratives.
st
In this course, we will discuss the question of how 21 century literature deals
with the state and status of the family in society. To what extent does it challenge
traditional notions of the family and opt for more diversity? The readings of this
course will also include a short introduction to psychoanalysis in literature and to
analytical tools provided by trans-generational family therapy.
Please have read Matthew Sharpe’s The Sleeping Father (ISBN: 0 340 83790 X)
including chapter 15 (p. 82) by the beginning of the semester. A syllabus and
additional reading material will be provided in the first session.

This course will examine manifestations of the cross-cultural in both contemporary US-American and contemporary German literature. What do US-American
and German manifestations of the cross-cultural have in common, what distinguishes them? What difference does it make that the United States has long been
aware of being a country of immigrants, whereas Germany is just recently coming
to acknowledge its long existent de-facto status as an Einwanderungsland?
Among the texts we will read in the course are Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Louise
Erdrich’s Love Medicine, Jamaica Kincaid’s A Small Place, Emine Sevgi Özdamar’s Das Leben ist eine Karawanserei, Rafik Schami’s Gesammelte Olivenkerne aus dem Tagebuch der Fremde, and Feridun Zaimoglu’s Leyla. We will
investigate how historical, political, and social contexts influence both the writers
and us as readers of cross-cultural texts. On what grounds can we try to grasp
and compare German and US-American cross-cultural representations/embodiments/constructions? We will read some introductory texts to the
theories of multiculturalism, Orientalism, and postcolonialism to help us develop
our own idea of how to define various terms and concepts, such as “culture”, the
“cross-cultural,” or “hybridity” for the purpose of the course.

The practice of honoring and remembering those who have fallen in war memorials is common in most cultures. In the United States there are many memorials
and holidays commemorating the past. A memorial to a person or an event and
often also serves as a landmark object. This seminar will focus on different memorials and different forms of commemorating in architecture, cookbooks, music,
biographies and online memorials in order to find out whether and how the act of
commemorating has changed over time. Who decides what to remember and
whom to forget? We will also deal with the question of how to remember the
traumatic events of 9/11 and the debates about the “Freedom Tower” which is
going to replace the World Trade Center in New York. Additionally, we will discuss matters how remembering and the memory plays a role in movies like Titanic, Strange Days and The Spotless Mind.
To pass this class regular attendance, thorough preparation, and active participation are expected from everybody. For students have to hand in two essays and
have to present some of your research to the class and to write a paper at the
end of the semester.

Billy Joel can be considered one of the most successful singers/songwriters in
th
pop history. From the early 1970s up until the end of the 20 century he had a
considerable impact on popular culture. In this for a pop musician incredibly long
period of time he seemed to have always pushed the right buttons since none of
his records failed success. We will look at Billy Joel's life and his times to find out
which 'cultural buttons' he might have pushed that caused his lasting popularity.
Questions that will be raised are: Does the work of this (mostly) mainstream artist
reflect the mainstream of American culture? In what way does his biography –
which prominently includes, for instance, New York, the Yankees, and suburbia –
play a role?

When we think about cities we may have certain images in our minds, for instance, Paris being a romantic city, or New York as the "city that never sleeps."
But what about the city that you are studying in? This will be the question dealt
with in this course. We will take an in depth look at the way Dortmund is represented, at the 'stories' that are used to create a certain image. For this we will look
at a large variety of material such as traveling guides or PR texts. Participants are
expected to prepare for this course by collecting material about Dortmund in all
shapes & sizes (newspaper snippets, TV documentations, flyers etc.).
For this project seminar participants have to write two texts. The first is a creative
text in which you use the results of the course work to create your own representation of Dortmund. The second text is a scientific reflection on your first work. In
the first part of this block seminar we will analyze a wide variety of texts dealing
with the topic as a preparation for your projects. This will be followed by the individual work on the projects. In the final part of this course the projects will be
presented by all participants.
This seminar is only offered for students of the angewandte Studiengänge.

Biologically, hair is nothing but the outgrowth of dead cells from the skin. From a
cultural studies point of view though, hair becomes the object of cultural practices
which are indicative of a complex system of beliefs, attitudes and ideologies. It
thus bears the possibility to become a marker of class, gender, race, sexuality
and ethnicity. But what makes this natural material capable of being invested with
such a load of meanings? The discourses on hair in African American culture are
deeply embedded into a long history of discrimination and empowerment and
reflect shifts and consistencies in the assertion of communal identity. From the
Middle Passage to the Black Power Movement hair has played a significant role
in African American culture and despite Postmodernist proclamations of the end
of race, hair still is an important factor in the social construction of racial identities.
In this seminar we will discuss hair as a cultural phenomenon in African American
literature and culture. In addition to working with texts, students will participate in
projects – for example interviewing hair dressers, portraying Afro shops, producing visual representations of the symbolic quality of hair etc.
Readings include: Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Danzy
Senna’s Caucasia, Malcolm X’s The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Gloria Naylor’s Mama Day. We will also deal with slave narratives, children’s books, poems
and movies. A reader containing secondary literature will be provided at the beginning of the semester.

Moralist, feminist, humanist. Impassioned critic, political essayist, experimental
author. The work of Susan Sontag (1933-2004) defies easy categories, be they
aesthetic, political, or intellectual. As such, it poses a number of challenges, but
also holds a unique promise: a fresh and unsettling perspective on a range of
cultural and political issues that have shaken the United States since the 1960s in
the vision of one of America’s most perceptive public intellectuals. In this course
we will read a variety of Sontag’s texts, including her classical essays on photography, the pornographic imagination, and AIDS, her short stories, a novel and a
play, as well as her pieces on 9/11, war, and torture.
A reader will be available at the Copyshop (below the Sonnendeck) at the beginning of the term.
This course can also be taken as a project seminar.

In the course of the seminar, students should develop an understanding of the
meaning of important seasonal events in the US-American culture. In a next step,
building on these insights, students should investigate to which extent US concepts of seasonal events have been incorporated into the German cultural context. Since nowadays seasonal events have a cultural dimension as well as an
important economic relevance, interdisciplinary student teams (business/cultural
studies students; Dortmund/U.S. students) should consider both aspects in their
work in the two cultures under consideration. With respect to the cultural as well
as the economic side of seasonal events, students have to make sure that they
approach the group topics from the perspective of consumers (e. g. consumption
culture, family acivities, gift giving) and the providers of merchandise (e. g. marketing strategies, product and service assortment, advertising campaigns).
As this class is conducted with students from the Wiso-Fakultät, only a limited
number of students will be accepted. Preference will be given to Lehramt students
and BA/MA Angewandt with economics/business in their second field as well as
students of journalism.
In order to participate, you must attend the introductory session on 25 June, 2-4

The mid-nineteenth century was a historical moment of intense conflict and hightening pressures on basic conceptual categories in American culture. The issue of
slavery was high on the national agenda; nativism was rampant; expansionism
moved millions. This course takes a close look at this defining moment – suspended between the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the Civil War
(1861-1865), between Josiah Nott and George Gliddon’s Types of Mankind
(1854) and Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859). It is no coincidence that
the 1850s also constitute a formative moment in American literary history, memorably labeled “American Renaissance” in 1941 by F.O. Matthiessen. Names such
as Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Herman Melville, and Walt
Whitman have dominated the literary canon and should ring bells for anyone who
has ever heard that American literature exists. We will take one year of this crucial decade, 1855, and read it through literary texts published around that year
and the intertextual connections they establish. Readings will include: Herman
Melville’s “Benito Cereno” (1854), Henry David Thoreau’s Walden (1854), John
Rollin Ridge’s Joaquin Murieta (1854), Frederick Douglass’ My Bondage and My
Freedom (1855), Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass (1855), Harriet Beecher
Stowe’s Dred (1856).

Literacy has been an important issue in American culture(s) at least since Puritanism. Questions of agency and political control have always been discussed with
respect to media literacy.
At the same time, contemporary Poststructuralist theory assumes that we cannot
know what exactly the texts we produce will do. Judith Butler emphasizes in Excitable Speech: A Politics of the Performative (1997) that we always say more
than we mean to say, even when speaking. If we ourselves do not know what we
say, how, then, can we understand what somebody else is saying? And how can
written texts or films be understood?
In this class, we will discuss conventions of 'reading' different media: reading the
body which is speaking as well as print texts, movies, and digital media. Be prepared to read many theoretical texts and to attend additional film nights. (Monday,

The posthuman is a concept used to describe contemporary bodies. These bodies are no longer assumed to be 'natural.' Rather, they are thought of as heterogenious, multifaceted, contradictory. The cyborg stands for the concept of the
posthuman body – it consists of wetware (flesh) as well as hardware (wiring) and
software (digital components). Such posthuman creatures can be found in many
contemporary texts; they defy commonly known borders of gender or ethnicity.
We will read and analyze science fiction books, films, and music videos which
construct such beings.
Be prepared to read many theoretical texts and to attend additional film nights.

From the beginning of modern times, the interrelationship between scientific and
narrative approaches to realty has become a trademark of occidental worldmaking, though Descartes' and Bacon's harmoniously biased starting points have long
since been abandoned. Within the terrain of Anglo-Saxon and especially American culture, the historical convergence between scientific and narrative world(re)presentations reached a close affiliation within naturalism. But modernism's
introspective verve fostered ideas about two different forms of rationality, leading
to diverging epistemological concepts (and a popular European version in E.P.
Snow's "two cultures"). After some decades of almost peaceful disinterestedness
and postmodernist fascination with literary adaptations of scientific concepts, the
latent conflict culminated again, some years ago, in Alan Sokal's successful publication of a 'poststructuralist' article - full of scientific absurdities - in an American
cultural-studies journal.

Inhalte
In diesem Seminar werden die texte bedeutender Kulturwissenschaftler gelesen.
Kulturwissenschaft wird in diesem Zusammenhang als eine Disziplin aufgefasst,
welche Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaften transzendiert. Es handelt sich also
weder um literarische Texte noch um solche aus den genannten Disziplinen. Die
Vielfalt von Kulturalität und ihre Erforschung in der Wissenschaft stehen somit im
Mittelpunkt des Seminars.
Organisation
Das Seminar wird teilweise in Seminarsitzungen und teilweise als Blockseminar
unterrichtet. Der genaue Plan der Sitzungen wird zu Semesterbeginn bekannt
gegeben. Einige Sitzungen sind zur Projektrecherche freigegeben (s.u.). Eine
Lektüreliste und ein Reader werden zur Verfügung gestellt. Zur Anmeldung müssen interessierte Studierende sich auf der Internetseite www.semiotik.fb15.uni-
dortmund.de anmelden. HINWEIS: Dieses Seminar ist für Studierende des Lehramtes nicht vorgesehen.
Scheinerwerb
In dieser Veranstaltung wird keine Klausur angeboten. Der Scheinerwerb ist ausschließlich möglich innerhalb eines durchzuführenden Projektes. Diese Projekte
sollen innerhalb eines thematischen Fokus mit praktischer Orientierung entstehen. Verbunden damit ist eine regelmäßige Vorstellung des Standes der Arbeit im
Seminar. Das genaue Vorgehen wird zu Semesterbeginn erläutert.
