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. These will be introduced in a
survey spanning two semesters. This semester’s module will focus on questions of language and meaning,
namely
- semantics (the study of meaning - both of words and sentences);
- pragmatics (the study of utterances and their meaning).
Additionally, a brief introduction to English as a world language will be provided, including some basics of
sociolinguistics.
Credits will be awarded on the basis of a “portfolio”, which will include:
a)
b)
written work (assignments) for both semantics and pragmatics;
a group or team project from a range of topics to be presented at the end of the module.
Each class will be supported by an EWS-Workspace (look them up under the name of your instructor in
(http://ews.tu-dortmund.de), for which you are required to register immediately once you have got a place.
This Registration is obligatory; admission to EWS spaces will be closed after two weeks.

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.
The seminars will be supported by EWS-Workspaces (http://ews.tu-dortmund.de), for which you should
register immediately once you have got a place in either of these seminars.

Language change is a process which affects all languages at all times. It may proceed rapidly or rather more
slowly. Speakers can embrace it or attempt to stop it, or even try to reverse it if it violates their concept of
what is supposed to be “proper English”.
Language change can be observed on the levels of phonology (sound change), morphology (inflection, word
formation), syntax, and semantics (changes in the meanings of words). It can also be seen at work in the
speech and writing preferences of various groups within the speech community, where sociolinguistic factors
motivate innovative usage, as in jargons, group languages, and slang.
The causes of language change have been widely studied. They range from language-internal factors
(systematicity, economy, functionality) to external factors such as social prestige and language contact.
Our case studies will come both from the historical stages of English and from more recent, even (!)
contemporary times.

The label "Cognitive Linguistics" has been given to an approach to the study of language that began in the
1970s and has become more and more productive since the 1980s. Most of the research has focused on
semantics, but morphology and syntax also figure significantly, along with other linguistic areas such as
language acquisition, phonology, and historical linguistics.
There are three major hypotheses which guide the cognitive approach to language (Croft, Cruse 2004: 1):
- language is not an autonomous cognitive faculty, but depends on and is embedded in our general cognitive
faculties;
- grammar is conceptualization, i.e. linguistic structures are closely connected to our non-linguistic concepts
of the world; for instance, syntactic functions like subject and objects mirror the participants in an event that
we witness;
- knowledge of language emerges from language use; in effect, this means that we are not genetically
equipped with an abstract and universal grammar which only requires input from the language which we are
exposed to as children, but that the language acquisition process is closely connected to pairings of nonlinguistic situations with linguistic expressions which we encounter at an early age.
In this seminar, we will focus on different topics related to the domain of cognitive linguistics, such as the
study of metaphor and metonymy, “prototypical” meanings and their extensions, and the cognitive
approaches to grammar. On the basis of the theoretical framework, we will also look at the impact of cognitive
linguistics on EFL teaching.
The exact requirements for credits will be discussed in our first session.

Psycholinguistics is the branch of linguistics which is concerned with the relationship between language and
the human mind. How is language stored in our brain? Which experimental paradigms can be used to
investigate word processing in our mind? Which factors influence the speed of word processing? In this
course we attempt to answer these (and some other) questions by discussing selected psycholinguistic
studies on language processing with special emphasis on visual and auditory word recognition.
Reading materials as well as requirements for credits will be announced in the first meeting.

Like its lexical equivalents in several European languages, the term ‘translation’ denotes both the process
and the results. In this course, we will be chiefly concerned with the former without, however, ignoring the
latter. Translating has – since the Tower of Babel – been an indispensable form of human speech and
writing, and it is, therefore, not surprising that translation theory, or rather theories, have been around since
classical antiquity. Traditional translation theories were largely literature-oriented, and it was only in the 20th
century that the linguistic features of translation began to be examined. We will briefly look at traditional
translation theories before delving into modern approaches. Needless to say, the spin-off for various
linguistic disciplines and also – dare it be said – for language teaching will likewise be addressed.
Participants will be given background material to study and practical assignments to analyse not only source
language texts with regard to translation problems, but also various completed and published target
language translations.
Please note: This is not a translation course for Sprachpraxis!

The course will build on the concepts and theoretical frameworks of syntax established in the Introduction to
Linguistics. These frameworks – and the solutions they propose for a number of problems for syntactic
description – are then contrasted with recent approaches that take a different perspective on syntax. The
vantage points of these approaches are: basic human cognitive processes and the primacy of language use
(cognitive linguistics / the usage based account). Here, not only words, but also syntactic structures are seen
as symbolic units, which contribute to the overall meaning of an utterance. We will discuss the basic tenets
of these approaches and will look at a number of these structural symbolic units in detail. Thus, we will look,
for example, at sentences like a) and b) to find out about the subtle differences between these two seemingly
very similar sentences, and why we judge c) as less acceptable.
A reader will be made available on the EWS workspace. Requirements for credits will be announced in the

This course is not devised as a regular seminar with weekly meetings. There will be a plenary meeting for
all participants near the beginning of the semester in which project teams will be formed and – ideally –
8
topics for projects will be offered and chosen. Also, a general introduction to project work will be provided.
After the formation of the project groups, these will be welcome to seek advice individually by appointment
with me. An interim report about the progress of the project work will be required. Projects can be chosen in
relation to a previously or simultaneously attended Hauptseminar in linguistics, or independently of this.
Participants will include both BML students (module 12, Master) and LPO 2009 students (module 7,
Bachelor).
For those who have registered for this course, it is of crucial importance to register for the
accompanying EWS site (ident: lingpro) straight away, as this is the only way in which participants
can be contacted (and invited) by me. Registration for this course is equivalent to acceptance for it.

Like its lexical equivalents in several European languages, the term ‘translation’ denotes both the process
and the results. In this course, we will be chiefly concerned with the former without, however, ignoring the
latter. Translating has – since the Tower of Babel – been an indispensable form of human speech and
writing, and it is, therefore, not surprising that translation theory, or rather theories, have been around since
classical antiquity. Traditional translation theories were largely literature-oriented, and it was only in the 20th
century that the linguistic features of translation began to be examined. We will briefly look at traditional
translation theories before delving into modern approaches. Needless to say, the spin-off for various
linguistic disciplines and also – dare it be said – for language teaching will likewise be addressed.
Participants will be given background material to study and practical assignments to analyse not only source
language texts with regard to translation problems, but also various completed and published target
language translations.
Please note: This is not a translation course for Sprachpraxis!

This course is not devised as a regular seminar with weekly meetings. There will be a plenary meeting for
all participants near the beginning of the semester in which project teams will be formed and – ideally –
topics for projects will be offered and chosen. Also, a general introduction to project work will be provided.
After the formation of the project groups, these will be welcome to seek advice individually by appointment
with me. An interim report about the progress of the project work will be required. Projects can be chosen in
relation to a previously or simultaneously attended Hauptseminar in linguistics, or independently of this.
Participants will include both BML students (module 12, Master) and LPO 2009 students (module 7,
Bachelor).
For those who have registered for this course, it is of crucial importance to register for the
accompanying EWS site (ident: lingpro) straight away, as this is the only way in which participants
can be contacted (and invited) by me. Registration for this course is equivalent to acceptance for it.
Sprachpraxis
1. STUDIENPHASE
The programme of courses offered as part of the Sprachpraxis module consists of Integrated Foundation
Courses (IFCs), Written and Oral Communication Courses (WOCs), and Academic Writing Courses. You
should attend one of each type of course, starting with an IFC (2SWS) and a WOC (2SWS). You must
successfully complete the WOC in class essay before you can take an Academic Writing Course. These
course types are described in greater detail below.
Integrated Foundation Courses (IFC)
The aim of these courses is to provide systematic and interconnected language training. Hence, all IFCs will
contain elements of grammar practice, mistakes recognition, listening and reading comprehension, vocabulary
building, and some discussions.

Academic Writing
Please note: You must successfully complete the WOC in-class essay before you can
take an Academic Writing Course.
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.

War, oppression, environmental ruin, despair and death. Do these topics interest you? They concerned the
likes of Huxley, Orwell, Bradbury and Zamyatin. Dystopian literature often serves as a warning to the present
about a potentially, dreadful future, and while 1984 has long since come and gone, dystopian works continue
to arouse the interest of readers and film audiences. We will be examining dystopian visions both in print
and on screen, and thinking about why it persists with such popularity as a genre.

If you think our society's ongoing fascination with people who commit heinous crimes of the most horrible
nature imaginable over and over and over again is a bit strange and perhaps even intriguing, fret not! You
are not alone. There are countless television series, films, documentaries, novels, comics--even death metal
ballads – about these infamous figures. In fact, there are entire fields of discourse devoted to the study of
serial killers – not just their psychological or neurological condition, but to our own preoccupation with these
individuals and their representation in popular culture and literature. If you'd like to delve a little deeper into
this curious field while at the same time taking a critical look at the finer points of academic writing, you've
found your match. No pervious knowledge necessary though an interest in cultural and literary studies and
the examination of primary texts is highly encouraged.

American theater has a rich history ranging from minstrel shows and burlesque to world famous musicals
and independent Avant Garde productions. The art form is so deeply rooted in American culture that even
the smallest of towns have community theaters and hardly a high school exists without some sort of theater
program. If this sounds interesting, this is the course for you. In addition to learning about and practicing
academic research and writing, this course will analyze American theater, looking at historical developments
as well as individual playwrights and their productions. No prior knowledge of the topic is assumed, however,

marriage on primetime American television in the 1950s, but also by making Lucy and not her Cuban
bandleader husband the title character. Yet Lucy is just one prominent, and sometimes even troubled,
subversive female character in popular culture. In this class, students will have the opportunity to explore Lucy
herself and other such characters and the ways in which they question or sometimes reaffirm cultural standards
of femininity while further developing their academic skills in the English language.

2. STUDIENPHASE
Translation
This course covers several areas, e.g. vocabulary, semantics, collocations, grammar, (morphology and
syntax), contrastive linguistics and stylistics. In addition to the traditional four skills: reading, listening, speaking,
writing, translation constitutes a fifth skill which is not to be underestimated. This skill can only be acquired by
practising translation over a long period of time.
These 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 who require credit points are required to have two translation assignments accepted (i.e.
with pass grades) in the course of the term to gain the points for this course.

The seminar looks at how some films and other media texts present various types of conundrums which
challenge the viewer to make sense of the world she has been plunged into and which disrupt the usual
soothing, immersive experience provided by standard Hollywood fare. Some movies of this kind, such as
Christopher Nolan's Inception, feature several layers of realities; others, such as the Gondry/Kaufman The
Perfect Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, play games with time. The aim of the seminar is to provide new
awareness of the opportunities such hermetic texts offer for analysis and to extend our critical firepower by
unpicking some of the best writing on them. Other potential candidates for analysis would probably include
movies based on Philip K. Dick texts, some Hitchcock movies such as Psycho and Vertigo, Orson Welles's
Citizen Kane, and some noir films. Students can make suggestions. Work expected would include taking
part in a presentation and a 2000-word written piece.

EFL-classroom from a new angle and to familiarize themselves with theoretically and empirically driven
models, concepts, and approaches that are relevant for the field of teaching and learning English as a foreign
language. The aim of this obligatory course is to introduce students to the disciplines "Fachdidaktik Englisch"
and "Applied Linguistics" by providing a state-of-the-art review of relevant issues and current debates. These
include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Fremdsprachendidaktik as an applied science

Bilingual education is implemented in different forms and for different purposes all over the world. Lately, it
has been playing an increasingly large role in the German school system at all levels, from the Primarstufe
to the Sekundarstufe II (and beyond). In this course we will investigate the theoretical foundations and
principles of immersion (total and partial), content and language integrated learning, as well as other
approaches to bilingual education. There will also be a focus on research findings regarding the success of
these approaches, and a discussion of their viability in German schools. In addition, the course will include
practical activities such as designing bilingual teaching materials, tasks, and assessment procedures.
Students from the “bilingualer Zusatzstudiengang / Zertifikatskurs” are welcome.

By many, poetry is considered to be an essentially difficult – and inherently boring – literary genre. Very
often, one hears that the way in which poetry is commonly taught at school has contributed decidedly to its
disrepute. Others simply state that poetry, in a digital age characterised by the proliferation of quickly
accessible and easily digestible information, has outrun its course. It cannot keep up to date.
In this seminar, we will discuss poetry and its relevance especially in the context of teaching literature at
school. Hence, we will both look at a number of poems and interpret them, but also investigate into the
genre's 'use value' today. With a view to the prevailing emphasis on task and process-oriented approaches,
it will be required to not merely stress our and the learners' roles as objective observers engaged in 'rational'
analysis, but also to consider the 'production' side and become creative ourselves! All primary and secondary
material will be accessible via EWS.

"There is in fact no such thing as a 'homogeneous' class, since no two learners are really similar; and
therefore all classes of more than one learner are in fact heterogeneous." This quotation by Ranga
Narayanan (University of Florida) sheds a light on today's EFL classroom at any given type of school. In this
seminar we will try and find ways to come to grips with the widening range of abilities to be found in learning
groups and effectively build up various competences at the same time. We will address questions of
differentiation and individualization as well as teaching pupils with special education needs. Participants are
expected to engage in practical activities such as designing and trying out materials and tasks ready to use
in the EFL classroom.
Credit requirements: Portfolio (for 202), Unterrichtsentwurf (for 203). Details will be announced in the first

the general EFL classroom. In order to achieve this objective we will focus in depth on the current state of
research of teaching English as a foreign language in an inclusive classroom. We will also explore the
distinction between “inclusion” and “integration”. Furthermore we will deal with aspects of team teaching,
focusing more deeply on how cooperation of special needs teachers and English teacher can be organized
successfully. Students who take this class as a Hauptseminar for 203 will have the opportunity to write a
lesson plan.

Many teenagers are understandably fascinated by the major global problems we face today, such as climate
change, the plight of refugees, human rights, war, and many others. This seminar looks at some of these
topics and tries to find ways to teach them in the EFL classroom. We will be looking to devise projects and
to collect materials about the areas we feel our students will be most interested in. The general approach
taken will have affinities with CLIL, task-based learning, and communicative approaches to language
teaching. We will also be looking at the ways we can use literature and films to teach these topics. It will be

Analyzing and interpreting different kinds of media is essential in the English language classroom of
Sekundarstufe II and a mandatory part of any class test or exam; students are expected to be skilled in that
province. At the same time, the focus of English didactics has shifted from the media itself to various new
methods of teaching. However, a considerable number of assistant teachers and even qualified teachers
seem to struggle with these basic skills and depend on educational publishing companies to supply them
with everything they need. Relying on this aid is becoming more and more difficult as modern classrooms
require modern teaching materials that have to be processed by teachers themselves, especially with regard
to the demands of the Zentralabitur. Thus, this class focuses on the analysis and interpretation of different
media (film, fictional and non-fictional texts, advertisements, etc.), research, and development, assessment
and correction of class tests and written or oral exams.

This course will explore the relationship between second language acquisition (SLA) and linguistic theory.
We will discuss some of the fundamental theoretical issues that inform current research in SLA from a variety
of linguistic perspectives. A special focus will be on the comparison of generative and cognitive models and
on the question how convincingly each model can account for generally agreed-upon observations on
second language acquisition.
The requirements for credits will be announced in our first meeting. Reading materials will be made available
through the EWS-Workspace for this course.
Students from the “bilingualer Zusatzstudiengang / Zertifikatskurs” are especially welcome.

This course will review issues at the core of Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT), with particular
emphasis on its pedagogic implications. Several organizing frameworks for task-based education will be
considered. Applied research and practice in TBLT, in particular such topics as needs analysis, curriculum,
instruction, task design, teachers, learners, assessment, and program evaluation will be the focus of the
course. It will conclude by discussing key contemporary challenges and possibilities for putting TBLT ideas
to work in German schools.
The class will be interactive, with a combination of lectures, hands-on group activities, and instructor- and
student-led discussions of primary sources which will deepen your understanding of the literature and
develop your ability to apply findings from the TBLT research while teaching a second language.

When Edmund Burke, formerly a strong supporter of the independence of the American colonies, published
his Reflections of the Revolution in France in 1790, many liberals and former admirers were flabbergasted
by his staunchly conservative attitude. Burke felt that the French revolutionaries had gone way too far, that
they had betrayed the old values and established traditions on which the state, civilization, and humanity as
such rested. The book, despite its many inaccuracies, became influential quite quickly – Burke sometimes
is called the ‘father of conservatism’ –, but it also prompted many immediate and hardly less powerful
oppositional reactions, first and foremost from Thomas Paine. In Rights of Man (1791), the latter eloquently
upheld democratic principles, defending the rights and the equality of all men against the tyranny of a
monarchical state. Precisely this, however, namely the emphasis on the rights of man, encouraged another
response which emphatically demanded and defined the rights of the other ‘half’ of humanity, namely of
women: Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), an extension of her own Rights
of Men (1790). In brief, in a climate of harsh repression in the 1790s, a range of political, philosophical and
literary writers actively participated in redefining the rights of the individual in society.
In this Hauptseminar, we will read (excerpts of) these and other texts and place them both in relation to each
other and to their respective contexts. Thus, we will have a look at the political events in France and Great
Britain; we will consider the political and philosophical influences that nourish these works; and we will of
course also include the thoughts of other relevant thinkers, like those of Wollstonecraft’s husband William
Godwin, whose novel Caleb Williams (1794) will be analysed in detail.
There will also be a section dedicated to the fate of human rights in the UK today, especially aimed at those
intending to do the seminar as a Kulturdidaktik-Seminar (MA LABG 2009: module 1003).
You are supposed to purchase this edition of Godwin's novel:
Godwin, William. Things as They Are or the Adventures of Caleb Williams. Ed. Maurice Hindle. London:
Penguin, 2005. (ISBN-10: 0141441232: ISBN-13: 9780141441238)

This seminar continues a series of classes evaluating Ralph Waldo Emerson’s key role for a critical
evaluation of 21st century culture. His final volume, Letters and Social Aims, published in 1875, contains
essays originally published in the 1840s as well as essays published in collaboration with his son, his
daughter and his literary executor. It includes the essays “Poetry and Imagination,” “Social Aims,”
“Eloquence,” “Resources,” “The Comic,” “Quotation and Originality,” “Progress of Culture,” “Persian Poetry,”
“Inspiration,” “Greatness,” and, appropriately for Emerson’s last published book, “Immortality.”
Seminar participants will either evaluate the essays’ significance for our time or develop an ‘application’ of
Emerson’s insight in our culture.

Studierende im Masterstudiengang Lehramt nach LABG 09, die ab September 2015 das Praxissemester
absolvieren wollen, müssen im SoSe 2015 ein Vorbereitungsseminar besuchen. Das Praxissemester, das
im Studienverlaufsplan für das zweite Semester im Master vorgesehen ist, ist mit dem Ziel verbunden „die
Studierenden auf die Praxisanforderungen der Schule und des Vorbereitungsdienstes wissenschafts- und
berufsfeldbezogen vorzubereiten.“
Das Vorbereitungsseminar will die Studierenden im ersten Semester des Masterstudienganges dazu
befähigen, die Lerngelegenheiten im anschließenden Praxissemester möglichst gewinnbringend zu nutzen
und die geforderten Studienleistungen (Unterrichtsprojekte planen, durchführen und auswerten) zu
bewältigen. Im Kern geht es um die Verbindung von theoretischen Annäherungen an das Lehren und Lernen
im Englischunterricht mit konkreten Handlungsoptionen für die Gestaltung zentraler Lehr-Lern-Situationen
in der Unterrichtspraxis. Inhaltlich ist das Seminar in fünf Bereiche gegliedert:
1. Englischunterricht planen
2. Förderung funktionaler kommunikativer Kompetenzen
3. Gestaltung von Lernsituationen
4. Leistungsmessung und -bewertung
5. Unterricht beobachten und reflektieren

Bilingual education is implemented in different forms and for different purposes all over the world. Lately, it
has been playing an increasingly large role in the German school system at all levels, from the Primarstufe
to the Sekundarfstufe II (and beyond). In this course we will investigate the theoretical foundations and
principles of immersion (total and partial), content and language integrated learning, as well as other
approaches to bilingual education. There will also be a focus on research findings regarding the success of
these approaches, and a discussion of their viability in German schools. In addition, the course will include
practical activities such as designing bilingual teaching materials, tasks, and assessment procedures.

bilingualism as a conceptual framework for EFL learning and bilingual programs including CLIL
•
theories of second language acquisition and their relevance to EFL learning and teaching in regular
and bilingual classes
•
Bilingual programs in our schools: bilingualer Sachfachunterricht, bilingual modules
•
empirical research on the success of bilingual programs in our schools
•
the special didactic and methodological questions that have to be considered when teaching a
subject such as music or physics or histrory in English
•
the affective side of EFL learning and teaching: concepts of motivation and motivation in the EFL
regular and bilingual classroom
•
strategic aspects of EFL learning and teaching: Why do we need learning strategies and how can
we improve our strategic competences (“Methodenkompetenz”) in regular and bilingual classes
•
planning bilingual modules with English as the language of instruction.
Special attention will be given to the situation in NRW.
A reader will be provided for copying. There will be a final test for those who need it and there will
also be enough topics for critical papers.

At the height of its power, the British Empire encompassed almost a quarter of the earth’s land mass. India
was the largest British colony and often referred to as the “Jewel in the Crown” of the British Empire. Indeed,
the relationship between Great Britain and India is an interesting and complex transcultural phenomenon.
However, this relationship was also marked by unequal power relations and cultural as well as racial
prejudices.
This course investigates both chronologically and thematically the influence of Britain on India and vice
versa. How did the British view Indian culture and how did they view themselves in India? What was the
influence Great Britain had (and still has) in India? How is India represented in British novels and films and
how do Indian people imagine Britain?
The unique relationship between India and Britain is expressed in a large body of different texts. We will
investigate historical texts, novels, short stories, as well as movies and critically analzye the material. The
course is based on class discussions and will encourage you to improve your ability to communicate your
ideas effectively through writing and speaking.
Please order the following novels and start reading:
E. M. Foster. A Passage to India (1942)
Arundhati Roy. The God of Small Things (1997)
Please make yourself familiar with the following movies (we will not screen movies in class!):
Danny Boyle. Slumdog Millionaire (2006)
John Madden. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012)
A reader with additional reading material will be made available in the first week of semester.
Credits will be awarded on the basis of either, ‘Aktive Teilnahme’ (essays and a short presentation in class),
Literature/Culture Projects (presentation in class and written project paper), a term paper or a written final
exam

SP: The reign of Queen Elizabeth Ist is known for its flourishing cultural life especially regarding literature and
theatre. Some of the most important English playwrights such as William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and
Christopher Marlowe benefited from favourable circumstances for artists during ”The Golden Age” in which
permanent theatres like The Globe were established.
On the basis of selected texts we will analyse different genres of plays and their contemporary performance
conditions in order to assess the exceptional position of the Elizabethan theatre in English history and
literature.
Participants are kindly asked to read the following texts prior to the first session:
Thomas Dekker/Thomas Middleton:
Ben Jonson:
Christopher Marlowe:
The Roaring Girl
Volpone, or The Fox
The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus
Macbeth
Twelfth Night, or What you will
King Richard III
The work forms offered to enable students to finish the course due to their requirements in the respective
examination regulations are ‚Hausarbeit’/term paper and ’Aktive Teilnahme’ which requires a presentation
and regular personal attendance.
The seminar will take place on the following days:
26.05.15/27.05.15: 10 to 18 o’clock

SP: All our lives we have been taught that there are clear conceptions about the distinction between “good” and
“bad”; that serial killers are bad, children are good, drug dealers are bad, policemen are good. However,
recent TV series, books and films tried to prove these concepts wrong. Breaking Bad and Dexter are just
two examples for this. It seems as if “bad” is the new “good”.
In this course we will look at selected examples for this particular trend in modern literature and culture. We
will discuss the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay (2009) and its adaptation (first season of
Dexter, 2006-2013). The role of the anti-hero Dexter Morgan and the implications of the audience’s emotions
towards him will be in the centre of attention. Furthermore, we will look at We Need to Talk about Kevin by
Lionel Shriver from 2003 (adaptation directed by Lynne Ramsay, 2011). Knowledge of the two novels is
mandatory for the course. Apart from the actual texts, we will try to shed light on the literary concepts of the
anti-hero and the evil child.
Credit points can be obtained by presentation (2 CP) or term paper (3 or more CP).

Reading short stories is an ideal introduction to the history and theory of fiction in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. Most well-known writers have written in this format, and this body of work epitomises
the tropes, themes, genres, and styles of the modern literary fiction. This seminar seeks to illuminate some
of the best-known short stories by applying historical, generic and narratological viewpoints. Authors studied
will include Dickens, Hardy, Conan Doyle, Kipling, and Katherine Mansfield, as well as more recent authors.
Thematic approaches will include the uncanny, imperial Gothic, psychological realism, and social
marginalisation. Students wishing to familiarise themselves with the field should read: Adrian Hunter: The
Cambridge Introduction to the Short Story. Cambridge, 2007.
The short stories and theoretical literature will be available on the course’s EWS site.
Students will be able to write the type of assignment they need to complete their course requirements:
Hausarbeit/term paper, aktive Teilnahme ('Referat und Ausarbeitung'), Klausur or literary/cultural project.

Almost everyone knows the Disney version of one of the most beloved books in English literature – The
Jungle Book. That Mowgli is but one character and Kaa, for example, not a ‘bad’ snake is, however, not so
well-known. In this course we discuss Rudyard Kipling’s short stories from the two (!) Jungle Books and
consider the literary-historical background. Additionally, we will consider adaptations of the Mowgli stories
and compare his adventures to another boy who has grown up in the jungle. It is the aim of this course to
make you familiar with a (jungle) world in which “the bare necessities” are not sung about but fought over –
especially in a colonial context.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand,
while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” - Albert
Einstein
It is remarkable that not only Albert Einstein but also many other outstanding personalities valued imagination
highly, sometimes higher than knowledge. Over the centuries literary and cultural critics as well as
philosophers have tried to grasp “imagination” and to determine its relevance for the arts, progress and
mankind in general. They came to different conclusions.
In this course we will trace the history of the concept of imagination and pay special attention to its cultural
contexts. We will read and discuss texts from Romanticism to the present day to learn more about perceptions
of the imagination and the real.
Be prepared to analyse texts written by Samuel T. Coleridge, Percy B. Shelley, C.S. Lewis, Michel Foucault
and Jacques Lacan – among others – and to actively participate in discussions.
All reading material will be made available on EWS. Course requirements will be discussed in the first session.

Whiteness is more than just the colour of one’s skin. Depending on social, cultural and historical
circumstances, it becomes a decisive component of an ideological construct that helps maintain social
hierarchies and inequalities based on ethnic features. Critical Whiteness Studies aim to analyse how
whiteness simultaneously intersects with other identity categories like class and gender, and how it shapes
the perception of non-white sections of the population. Researchers engaging with Critical Whiteness
Studies contend that we are far from living in an equal society that has overcome the effects of racism and
racial binaries.
That this sadly holds true for contemporary British culture has become glaringly evident in the aftermath of
the English Riots of August 2011, echoing similar riots in Handsworth, Birmingham and Tottenham in the
mid-1980s. The debate about issues of white and black British cultures peaked with historian David Starkey
accusing “black gangster culture” of influencing poor white youth during a BBC interview, once more sparking
the discussions about racism in contemporary Britain.
In this seminar, we will focus on issues of ethnicity in British culture and politics since the 1980s in order to
look at how whiteness is still constructed as a hegemonic cultural norm in contemporary Britain, and how it
intersects with other identity factors such as class, gender and nationality. We will look at a number of notable
events in recent history such as the 1980s “race riots”, the Stephen Lawrence murder case as well as the
English Riots, and we will examine representations of whiteness and ethnicity in a range of cultural texts,
including political discourse, documentaries, film and TV, as well as literary texts.
The aim of this seminar is to raise students’ awareness for the role of ethnicity and intersectionality within
cultural processes by introducing them to the theoretical and methodological basics of Critical Whiteness
Studies, and to enable them to apply these in their study of cultural phenomena.
Requirements: Participants are expected to regularly attend class, actively participate in discussions,
thoroughly prepare the material provided for each session (including a number of demanding theoretical
texts), and to fulfill small writing assignments throughout the semester.

Reading poetry is first and foremost a highly concentrated emotional and intellectual experience. This course
seeks to support students seeking to intensify their involvement with this challenging but rewarding genre
by providing historical and literary perspectives on the shorter forms such as sonnets, elegies, ballads and
odes and by developing the literary tools for a close reading of the poems we will be focusing on. They will
range from the early modern humanists such as Thomas Wyatt, include the Metaphysical poets such as
John Donne, Romantics such as Blake and Shelley, and finish with twentieth century poets such as T.S.
Eliot and Sylvia Plath. One method of preparing for the seminar would be to read Michael D. Hurley and
Michael O'Neill's Poetic Form: An Introduction. Cambridge, 2012. Texts of the poems will be available on
the EWS.
Every student will be able to complete the type of assignment required by their course regulations:

The year 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of William Butler Yeats' birth. Yeats (1865-1939), who was
awarded the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1923, is often considered to be Ireland's most outstanding poet,
whose influence on later poets and writers, among them Seamus Heaney, cannot be overrated. At the turn
from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, Yeats, together with others, spearheaded the so-called Irish
Renaissance, a cultural movement that intended no less than to define what it meant to be Irish. This quest
36
for Irishness, which was not uncontested (James Joyce, for instance, was a harsh critic), had a very definite
nationalist edge, and so must be seen as part of the Irish struggle for independence. Until this was
accomplished in 1921/22, though, and also afterwards, Ireland had to suffer many sacrifices, and Yeats'
cultural nationalism became more and more muted. Accordingly, his early emphasis on the Celtic legacy of
Irish culture gave way to a highly sophisticated, but more distanced, experimentalist treatment of
contemporary matters, which made him one of the foremost representatives of high modernism.
In this seminar, we will consider a selection of Yeats' most important poetry, read some of his plays and
study excerpts from his critical prose. It goes without saying that Yeats' works will be contextualised. Hence,
this seminar will also generally deal with the cultural, political and social history of Ireland in the later part of
the nineteenth and the first decades of the 20th century.

“In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice.” (Marquis De Sade)
Marquis De Sade is one of the most notorious characters when it comes to the connection between sexual
pleasures and the ways to obtain them. Living and writing in the eighteenth century, his life as well as his
stories were so infamous he even gave a specific sexual practice its name.
In this course, we will look at depictions and representations of sex, sexualities and sexual acts as they have
progressed through the ages, from the Middle Ages through Victorianism to the twenty-first century.
Moreover, students will consider the politics of bodies; bodies that govern and that are governed – be that
by lust or by shame.
Please be aware that students must be at least eighteen to attend this course and should be prepared to
consider representations that might upset them. Requirements to obtain credit for this course will be
discussed in the first session, which must be attended!
A reader will be made available in the first week and the following novel has to be bought and read:

Reading poetry is first and foremost a highly concentrated emotional and intellectual experience. This course
seeks to support students seeking to intensify their involvement with this challenging but rewarding genre
by providing historical and literary perspectives on the shorter forms such as sonnets, elegies, ballads and
odes and by developing the literary tools for a close reading of the poems we will be focusing on. They will
range from the early modern humanists such as Thomas Wyatt, include the Metaphysical poets such as
John Donne, Romantics such as Blake and Shelley, and finish with twentieth century poets such as T.S.
Eliot and Sylvia Plath. One method of preparing for the seminar would be to read Michael D. Hurley and
Michael O'Neill's Poetic Form: An Introduction. Cambridge, 2012. Texts of the poems will be available on
the EWS.
Every student will be able to complete the type of assignment required by their course regulations:

There is no study of culture(s) without some theories which describe, define, and debate how culture(s) should
be studied. Theory, however, should not be an end in itself; theories should help us explain the world and the
40
cultural contexts in which we live. This course is intended as an introduction to the study of culture(s), covering
such topics as identity and difference, representation, high versus popular culture, etc.
As our basic textbook we will use: Judy Giles & Tim Middleton (2008), Studying Culture. A Practical
Introduction [2nd ed.], Oxford: Blackwell.

Almost everyone knows the Disney version of one of the most beloved books in English literature – The
Jungle Book. That Mowgli is but one character and Kaa, for example, not a ‘bad’ snake is, however, not so
well-known. In this course we discuss Rudyard Kipling’s short stories from the two (!) Jungle Books and
consider the literary-historical background. Additionally, we will consider adaptations of the Mowgli stories
and compare his adventures to another boy who has grown up in the jungle. It is the aim of this course to
make you familiar with a (jungle) world in which “the bare necessities” are not sung about but fought over –
especially in a colonial context.

Whiteness is more than just the colour of one’s skin. Depending on social, cultural and historical
circumstances, it becomes a decisive component of an ideological construct that helps maintain social
hierarchies and inequalities based on ethnic features. Critical Whiteness Studies aim to analyse how
whiteness simultaneously intersects with other identity categories like class and gender, and how it shapes
the perception of non-white sections of the population. Researchers engaging with Critical Whiteness
Studies contend that we are far from living in an equal society that has overcome the effects of racism and
racial binaries.
That this sadly holds true for contemporary British culture has become glaringly evident in the aftermath of
the English Riots of August 2011, echoing similar riots in Handsworth, Birmingham and Tottenham in the
mid-1980s. The debate about issues of white and black British cultures peaked with historian David Starkey
accusing “black gangster culture” of influencing poor white youth during a BBC interview, once more sparking
the discussions about racism in contemporary Britain.
In this seminar, we will focus on issues of ethnicity in British culture and politics since the 1980s in order to
look at how whiteness is still constructed as a hegemonic cultural norm in contemporary Britain, and how it
intersects with other identity factors such as class, gender and nationality. We will look at a number of notable
events in recent history such as the 1980s “race riots”, the Stephen Lawrence murder case as well as the
English Riots, and we will examine representations of whiteness and ethnicity in a range of cultural texts,
including political discourse, documentaries, film and TV, as well as literary texts.
The aim of this seminar is to raise students’ awareness for the role of ethnicity and intersectionality within
cultural processes by introducing them to the theoretical and methodological basics of Critical Whiteness
Studies, and to enable them to apply these in their study of cultural phenomena.
Requirements: Participants are expected to regularly attend class, actively participate in discussions,
thoroughly prepare the material provided for each session (including a number of demanding theoretical
texts), and to fulfill small writing assignments throughout the semester.

At the height of its power, the British Empire encompassed almost a quarter of the earth’s land mass. India
was the largest British colony and often referred to as the “Jewel in the Crown” of the British Empire. Indeed,
the relationship between Great Britain and India is an interesting and complex transcultural phenomenon.
However, this relationship was also marked by unequal power relations and cultural as well as racial
prejudices.
This course investigates both chronologically and thematically the influence of Britain on India and vice
versa. How did the British view Indian culture and how did they view themselves in India? What was the
influence Great Britain had (and still has) in India? How is India represented in British novels and films and
how do Indian people imagine Britain?
The unique relationship between India and Britain is expressed in a large body of different texts. We will
investigate historical texts, novels, short stories, as well as movies and critically analzye the material. The
course is based on class discussions and will encourage you to improve your ability to communicate your
ideas effectively through writing and speaking.
Please order the following novels and start reading:
E. M. Foster. A Passage to India (1942)
Arundhati Roy. The God of Small Things (1997)
Please make yourself familiar with the following movies (we will not screen movies in class!):
Danny Boyle. Slumdog Millionaire (2006)
John Madden. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012)
A reader with additional reading material will be made available in the first week of semester.

“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s
a long way down the road to the drug store, but that’s just peanuts to space.”
In this quote, Douglas Adams is actually talking about outer space, but have you ever considered that space
(here on earth, your direct surrounding, your local supermarket) can be something else than just
‘geographical’?
This course is dedicated to this other geography, namely cultural geography. Introducing you to important
ideas and influential thinkers of the discipline, we will explore places, spaces and locales that are more than
just a location. Topics include: How to map a piece of fiction, parties as expressive spaces of youth culture,
religion and geography, the architecture in and of your mind and the (culturally geographical) body in
photography.
This course is designed to connect and intertwine theory with practice which is why there are mandatory
field trips, which you have to attend. To successfully pass this course, you will have to hand in a portfolio
which ‘maps’ your progress and displays your skills of analysing a text from a cultural geography point of
view. A reader will be made available to you in the copy shop below the Food Fakultät.

Raymond Williams and Richard Hoggart are two names that students of Cultural Studies will come across
in the first few pages of most introductory textbooks; together with E.P. Thompson both are credited with
bringing about the shift in thinking about culture in the late 1950s and early 1960s which paved the way for
a whole new discipline. The actual texts in which Williams and Hoggart laid down their ideas are however
largely, and sadly, neglected by many scholars in the field. This is regrettable because in their works we can
find an almost infinite wealth of sharp observations about literature, culture, history, philosophy, etc.
In this seminar we will read excerpts from the two scholars' seminal works, first and foremost from Williams's
The Long Revolution (1961) and Marxism and Literature (1977), and from Hoggart's The Uses of Literacy
(1957). We will discuss these texts against their historical background but will also analyse how relevant
these ideas are in the 21st century.

This introductory survey course will deal with significant developments in American literary and cultural
history since the Puritan period; emphasis will be placed on the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first
centuries. We will focus on major American texts and study the historical development of important features
such as imagery, genre, and theme. Texts will mostly be taken from the Heath Anthology of American
Literature. Groups A through J are parallel courses covering the same material.

“The Times They Are a-Changin”, written and released by Bob Dylan in 1964, became the anthem for the
American Civil Rights and Anti-War movement. America had, and still has, contributed much to the Civil
Rights as well as the peace movements – Hiroshima, Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan, Gay Rights, African
Americans and the many others who still find themselves at the bottom line of society. Similarities can be
seen in Germany, but also differences: a divided Germany until 1989 was met by a huge number of peace
protesters in the West who joined forces with the world-wide peace movement. At the same time the voices
of the dissidents in the East – the former GDR – grew louder and stronger. In this seminar we will be looking
at and comparing a variety of politically committed poets and singers / songwriters from the U.S. and
Germany. What made their poems political? What turned their songs into protest songs? What exactly drove
them?
Political poetry and songs from both nations will be discussed and compared, from Bert Brecht to Bob Dylan,
from Woody Guthrie to Gregory Corso and June Jordan, from Günter Grass to Wolf Biermann and Franz
Josef Degenhardt – to name just a few. We will read poets from the Gruppe 47 and from the New York
School and the Beat Generation. In-group translations of some of the works will be integrated into the course.
This should be no means discourage non-native speakers of German! Some theoretical texts about political
poetry will be read alongside the primary texts.
For Aktive Teilnahme attendance, in-class participation, a presentation and a short essay are mandatory.
All other requirements will be discussed at the first – preliminary and mandatory – meeting, which is
scheduled for 18 May 2015 from 14.15 to 15.45 in 0.420. A reader with all the relevant texts will be available.
This course is part of the International Summer Program.

According to psychoanalysis, unpleasure arises as a result of the obstruction of the pleasure drive, which is
suddenly ruptured when put into motion. Deriving from avant-garde approaches of the so-called counter
cinema, Catherine Wheatley points out that the cinema of unpleasure’s radical belligerence against a
Hollywood blockbuster cinema includes a change of its basic assumptions and conventions, namely of its
basic aim to provide pleasure. Contemporary transnational filmmakers like Catherine Breillat, Lars von Trier,
Gaspar Noé or Michael Haneke provide us with an upgraded understanding of how pleasure can actively be
destroyed in the viewer.
This film seminar is dedicated to this phenomenon by using theoretical approaches on feel bad films, the
new cinematic extremism, and questions of what is deemed un/watchable in times of a postmodern anythinggoes mentality. What does it imply to feel unpleased, even though we decide to pay for and watch a certain
53
film? What attracts us when we consciously participate in a film’s economy of painful pleasure? Which
tangible consequences do films evoke in us in terms of their degree of violence, cruelty, disturbance, disgust
or other and rather silent shock tactics? The objective of the seminar consists of a problematization of
un/pleasure in terms of current film theories and how they might contribute to an innovative as well as
subversive film narrative. During the summer term, we will watch and analyze a distinct selection of films.
Please note that the seminar is rated PG 18 due of explicit sexual and violent content.

Diseases have always existed and their medical symptoms hardly change. The perception of a disease,
however, varies over time and between cultures. From a historical perspective, certain diseases dominate
for decades or even centuries but sooner or later, disappear from view – the Black Death in the Middle Ages,
tuberculosis in the late 19th and early 20th century, cancer in the post-war years and AIDS in the 1980ies and
1990ies. The seemingly sudden omnipresence of diseases leads to changing metaphors, stereotypes,
explanatory models, and prejudices: poisoned wells “explained” the existence of the plague. Tuberculosis
was fashionably considered the “disease of the artist.” The roots of cancer were psychologized as
“unexpressed negative feelings or grudges.” These examples depict how diseases are culturally loaded.
Literature contributes to the cultural discourse about pathologies because it communicates narratives about
disease. Literature condenses meaning by depicting a disease in poetic language: physiological, individual,
social, psychological, mythological and metaphysical aspects are combined in the metaphoric body of a
disease.
In this seminar, we will discuss theoretical texts about the cultural implications of a disease and pair them
with English and German literary fiction and film. We will investigate the following questions: Why does a
society never treat a disease neutrally? How does the social status of a disease affect the personal status
of a sick individual? Is the contemporary health craze nothing but a sick obsession? Is writing a form of
disease?

Work is a phenomenon which structures our everyday life, defines our personality and is culturally controversial. Work forms our society and integrates individuals into that very society. The political powers that
be maintain the illusion that only a fully employed society is a good society. However, the ideal of full
employment is far from being achievable nowadays. How can we explain this? Does work disappear? Why
are many people unemployed while Wall Street professionals have to work 80 hours a week? The
boundaries between what is work and what is leisure are in the process of total collapse: Is blogging about
fashion and food considered work? And what about banking from home or assembling a bookshelf from
IKEA? Why do we have to love and take pleasure from the work we are doing? There is less and less paid
work available, but it appears that we have to work more and more. Why does laziness have such a bad
reputation? Why can we not just play if there is no work anyway? How important is work and leisure for the
subject?
With the help of American and German literature, film, intellectual theory, and public media, we will
investigate the questions mentioned above with a comparative eye: How and why do Americans and
Germans work and play?

Joseph Smith, Jr., Mormonism’s first prophet, has been characterized as a man of God and a religious
genius, but also a madman and a fraud. A famous anti-Mormon work, Mormonism Unveiled, was published
in 1834 and countless exposés were to follow, all of which painted Smith and his followers in the worst
possible light.
Yet today, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is known for its patriotism and family values. In
this class, we will focus on representations of Mormonism from past to present to see how Mormons went
from being a threat to the nation in the 19th century to true blue citizens in the 21st. Mormonism will function
as a case study through which we can ask questions about American religious identity, both past and
present, and what it means to be religious in America.
Please be advised this is a block seminar. Class dates are June 20-21 and 27-28.

What is universal about war? Which qualities and characteristics of warfare span across cultures, traditions,
and individual human experience to arrive at a uniform construction of militarism? The term “uniform” stands
for and carries all the labels of war that turn it into a template of power relations – unquestionably structured
and gendered. Apart from the international, political, economic, and personal levels of reference, the one
that focuses predominantly on the socio-cultural interplay between the formally structural (military
organization) and the socially structured (gender and sexuality) emerges as a core of interest to be explored
and analyzed in class. This interdisciplinary workshop style seminar therefore seeks to interrogate various
gendered discourses, codes, and practices of social behavior in order to undermine the legitimacy of
dominant representations of male and female figures, thus giving voice to the voiceless and silenced. We
will try to push for reversal of the most common traditional imperatives and use this tricky correlation between
gender and militarism, with its different mutations and transgressions, to expose weaknesses and
imperfections of the dominant/hegemonic forms of representation. Equipped with adequate theoretical and
conceptual tools, we will attempt to deconstruct and reconstruct such structural dichotomies as power vs.
weakness, hegemony vs. subordination, oppression vs. victimization, or male vs. female across the lines of
class, race, ethnicity, and sexuality with a transatlantic touch.

On the surface, translation might seem a fairly straightforward endeavor: familiarize oneself with a source
text, choose a target language, employ a well-regarded dictionary, select appropriate words to accurately
convey content, arrange them on the page in an aesthetically pleasing manner that adheres to syntactical
standards, proofread, edit, peer review, and publish, then sit back and reap the fruits of your labor. But then
you wake up and realize translation is much trickier than that. What happens when, in addition to content,
you consider criteria such as rhythm, intonation, tempo, poetics, slang, style, and flow? Translation at that
point becomes a precarious balancing act where aesthetics and content equally demand our attention.
This course will concern itself with the translation of a specified number of bi- and multilingual rap songs and
lyrics. Titles like TickTick Boom’s “Wissen wer die Zecken sind”, modeled after a successful Haftbefehl track,
might seem deceptively easy to translate: “Know who the ticks are” – write it down, move on. But where the
track functions to introduce a collective of radical leftwing rappers, and Zecke is a deeply loaded culturalhistorical term, does “Know who the ticks are” really suffice? One might equally suggest “We’re the Ticks”
or “Meet the Ticks”. Which one is right? Which one is more right? Why?
After familiarizing ourselves with some nuts and bolts of translation theory in the first few sessions, songs
will be assigned. As translators, you will be expected to log your experiences during the translation process,
either textually (in a journal) and/or via the use of audio and video techniques. As the translator, how do you
make your decisions? Which words are the right words, why do you say it this way and not that way, and
what, for you, is the final determiner? You will then present your translation log, drafts-in-progress, and final
draft in a traditional classroom presentation—with musical accompaniment.
The course will be conducted in English, but bi- and multilinguality will be encouraged throughout.
Knowledge of German, Turkish, French, Spanish, Greek, Italian, Arabic, Russian, and all other languages
is whole-heartedly welcome.

“I am large . . . . I contain multitudes”, the American poet Walt Whitman boasted in 1855. In this seminar, we
will trace some of these ‘multitudes’ by reading Whitman against his times. Indeed, his Leaves of Grass—
the poet’s major work, expanded and reconfigured over the course of nearly four decades—shows an almost
encyclopedic attention to mid- to late ninteenth century issues: From modern science and philosophy to
popular culture and American politics, Whitman’s peculiar book seems to contain it all. Which particular
themes in Leaves of Grass and its culture at large we will focus on will mainly depend on the interest of the
members of the group. At the beginning of the semester, we will do an online brainstorming activity to figure
out what topics you are most interested in: the Civil War? Sex? Darwinism? Religon? Whatever points of
interest we will settle on will determine our course of reading. While such an approach might seem odd when
56
it comes to other poets, it certainly fits Whitman—as he said himself: “Missing me one place, search another.”
That, we will do.

In the early years of the Cold War, Western nations began to turn towards popular music in their cultural
diplomacy. While the diplomatic use of popular music was initially limited to such genres as jazz and gospel,
the second half of the twentieth century saw a growing presence of various popular genres in diplomatic
contexts, including country, bluegrass, rock, punk, reggae, and hip-hop. As an instrument of cultural
diplomacy, popular music plays a complex role in a contested terrain. Whether it functions as cultural
subversion, as a reaffirmation of cultural hegemony, or as a combination of both is conditioned by a web of
interdependent factors ranging from the music itself to its mediation in different contexts.
This seminar explores cultural diplomacy in the United States and in Germany from a transnational and
transatlantic perspective. Students will analyze major debates and narratives in cultural diplomacy, such as
the role of government and non-governmental institutions, the signficance of artists and musicians, and the
impact of musical projects in diplomatic contexts on local audiences. Students are encouraged to pursue
their own musical diplomacy projects which will be exhibited at the first international conference on Popular
Music and Cultural Diplomacy in November 2015.
The interdisciplinary seminar is open for a maximum of 30 Lehramt students of English/American Studies,
Musicology, and students of the Angewandte Studiengänge.

In 1976 Ellen Moers claimed that there existed not only a literary genre called Gothic, but also a subgenre
she calls “Female Gothic.” In her opinion, Female Gothic makes room for the experiences of a persecuted
female protagonist and at times even makes the heroine tell her own tale of terror. We will read American
prose texts in the dark mode following the British authors Ann Radcliffe and Mary Shelley until today. Gender
plays a central role in these fictional universes, but their power relations are complex and hotly debated even
as late as in the 21st century. For example, Andrew Smith and Diana Wallace insist on the importance of the
Gothic for today’s transgressive writers, be they African American such as Toni Morrison, Canadian like
Margaret Atwood, or lesbian
(see >http://www4.ncsu.edu/~leila/documents/TheFemaleGothic-ThenNow.pdf<).

In spite of Friedrich Nietzsche’s enormous significance in international critical discussion in the past several
decades, the National-Socialist reception of this philosopher continues to block his reception in Germany.
This seminar will contribute to the opening of this impasse by demonstrating Nietzsche’s American roots.
The nexus between Ralph Waldo Emerson and Friedrich Nietzsche is well known, though actual
comparative readings are actually not so common. This seminar is going to look at the two authors from the
angle of cultural criticism and attempt to combine a transatlantic reading with a re-contextualization of their
work in the 21st century. Nietzsche’s texts can be read either in German or in English; thus, students without
a knowledge of German can also participate.

This course is a part of the TU Dortmund University summer program and is open to all international
students, both participants of the summer program and regular exchangees. As a seminar in the intercultural
classroom format, it is also open to German students, especially of the Angewandte Studiengänge. The
seminar is based on Tony Judt’s seminal book Postwar: A History of Europe since 1945, published in 2005.
Using this text, students will enter into a dialogue with the instructor and each other regarding the
development of Germany and Europe in the past sixty years and investigate their transatlantic and transnational context(s).

What can we learn from the cultural work produced and circulated by developing nations in crisis? Spanning
the period beginning in 1861 and closing around 1876, readings for this course will draw from ephemera as
well as canonical works of literature that documented and assisted the public’s recovery from the trauma of
the American Civil War. A semiotic approach to cultural texts including (but not limited to) stationary,
broadsides, periodicals, books, and architecture will afford us a panoramic view of the crisis that gave us the
corporate capitalist structure of the modern U.S. Primary texts will include writings by Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Walt Whitman, Louisa May Alcott, Emily Dickinson, and Rebecca Harding Davis. Secondary texts will include
the likes of Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, and Judith Butler.

framework of astronomy. Our readings will build a foundation for understanding the high-stakes
controversies surrounding astronomical systems in the history of Western culture in the writings of Philolaus
of Croton, Copernicus, Galileo, Descartes, Hume, and Diderot. This foundation will guide our readings in
Romanticism, when poetics and science began to part ways in the works of Rousseau and Wordsworth but
also began to form new relations in the modern mysticism of Emerson, Whitman, Nietzsche, and Mallarmé.
Our readings will end with the neo-primitivism of Modernists Ezra Pound and Wyndham Lewis alongside

In recent decades, the American South has become an important site of technological and cultural
innovation, and the home of people from all over the world. Nevertheless, in popular culture, its image has
remained that of an isolated region, a part of the U.S. that is somehow “stuck in the past”, an odd, rural
space where Southern Belles still make gentlemen fall for them and where things tend to take “their own
sweet time”. Looking from a transatlantic perspective, this class will deal critically with the representation
and image of the American South in Europe, and specifially in Germany.
Our sources will range from films to travel guides, from novels to restaurant websites. Please note that while
the regular class meetings will begin in June, Dortmund students should attend the preliminary meeting on
Monday, April 20, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and be prepared to complete some reading and writing before June.

The American Renaissance is a significant cultural epoch for women’s advancement in American society
and culture. American Romanticism is often exclusively associated with male writers such as Walt Whitman,
Herman Melville, Henry David Thoreau or Ralph Waldo Emerson. However, the 1820s to 1860s were also
a crucial time for women’s rights and their position as writers, artists, and “working girls”. The Seneca Falls
Convention of 1848, for instance, was one of the first conventions which demanded gender equality. While
the idea of “separate spheres” was still a dominant ideology in American culture, women increasingly entered
the workforce which inspired them to write about their experiences. White middle-class women earned
money as teachers and writers and working-class white women worked in factories and in sweat shops.
African American women, by contrast, used literature to address various forms of (sexual) oppression as a
result of slavery. Those shifts and developments resulted in a very diverse literary production which involves
new movements, genres, and narratives, such as the so-called feminine fifties, the sentimental novel, and
the slave narrative. Romantic women’s writers affirm the idea that the very act of writing is an act of female
empowerment.
This seminar aims at exploring Romantic women’s writing in a wide variety of literary, cultural, and media
texts. Students will problematize gender as an analytic category in American Cultural Studies and analyze
some of the major issues, debates, and narratives that are constiuitive of Romanticism. Then they will
investigate how those issues relate to some of the key texts by writers, such as Margaret Fuller, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Fanny Fern, Rebecca Harding Davis, Harriet Jacobs, E.D.E.N. Southworth, and Susan
Warner. Special emphasis will be placed on the dialogue of women’s literary production between the mid19th and the early 21st centuries.

In American Studies, the 1940s have not gained much attention as a literary decade. Instead, they are first
and foremost associated with Word War II, which is considered one of the most defining event in the 20th
century that has shaped the American nation. Nevertheless, the 1940s as a decade were not only influenced
by war, but it was a decade of numerous tensions and contradictions within the U.S. While Americans had
to endure social crisis and hardships from the 1930s to the early 1940s, they enjoyed full employment, good
wages, and new opportunities (especially for women and African Americans) during the war years. However,
social gains for women and African Americans were once more put to a halt and almost reversed in the
immediate postwar years, when new domestic tensions and fears aroused.
This course will explore how these tensions of the 1940s are reflected in the literature of this decade. We
will critically discuss short stories, plays, novels, and comics in class and how these texts reflect political and
social issues of this unique decade. Authors to be discussed include: Richard Wright, John Steinbeck,
Carson McCullers, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Shirley Jackson, and William Faulkner.
Books to be purchased and read: Richard Wright: Native Son (1940), John Steinbeck: The Moon Is Down
(1943), Carson McCullers: The Member of the Wedding (1946), Tennessee Williams: A Streetcar Named
Desire (1947). Please make sure to purchase the books and start reading! A reader with additional texts will
be made available at the beginning of semester.

In this seminar, we will begin with the precept that there is no single, identifiable “environment” and will focus
instead on just how we imagine and construct wildly dissimilar environments through words and actions. Our
material will include advertisements, films, newspaper articles, plays, poems, pop songs, short stories and
television shows from the Middle Ages through the present day. Using these multifarious examples as case
studies, we will consider the ways in which human cultural production is both a reaction to natural forces but
also a way of exerting real and imagined control over an unstable and unpredictable planet.

Humor is a most intangible and mysterious facet of an individual. While each of us can assert that we do or
do not find something funny, we are hard pressed to articulate the reasons for this judgment. Humor or sense
of humor are depicted as radically unique, unassailable and impervious to the scrutiny of outsiders. My
sense of humor is purportedly distinct and at most only partially comparable to your sense of humor. No
matter how thoroughly we single out the cultural, societal and linguistic markers contained within a
supposedly humorous moment, text, picture, etc., identifying what might be humorous offers no guarantee
that anyone will laugh.
In the full awareness that few things are less funny than someone trying to explain why something is funny,
we will explore the subjective and objective essence of humor: how does it work? Where does it come from?
Why does it matter? Drawing on examples from canonical literature, intellectual theory and popular culture
in both English and German, our route will cause us to broach questions of aesthetics, critical autonomy and
individualism.

In 1976, Ellen Moers claimed that there existed not only a literary genre called Gothic, but also a subgenre
she calls “Female Gothic.” In her opinion, Female Gothic makes room for the experiences of a persecuted
female protagonist and at times even makes the heroine tell her own tale of terror. We will read American
prose texts in the dark mode following the British authors Ann Radcliffe and Mary Shelley until today. Gender
62
plays a central role in these fictional universes, but their power relations are complex and hotly debated even
as late as in the 21st century. For example, Andrew Smith and Diana Wallace insist on the importance of the
Gothic for today’s transgressive writers, be they African American such as Toni Morrison, Canadian like
Margaret Atwood, or lesbian
(see >http://www4.ncsu.edu/~leila/documents/TheFemaleGothic-ThenNow.pdf<).

In spite of Friedrich Nietzsche’s enormous significance in international critical discussion in the past several
decades, the National-Socialist reception of this philosopher continues to block his reception in Germany.
This seminar will contribute to the opening of this impasse by demonstrating Nietzsche’s American roots.
The nexus between Ralph Waldo Emerson and Friedrich Nietzsche is well known, though actual
comparative readings are actually not so common. This seminar is going to look at the two authors from the
angle of cultural criticism and attempt to combine a transatlantic reading with a re-contextualization of their
work in the 21st century. Nietzsche’s texts can be read either in German or in English; thus, students without
a knowledge of German can also participate.

result of slavery. Those shifts and developments resulted in a very diverse literary production which invovles
64
new movements, genres, and narratives, such as the so-called feminine fifties, the sentimental novel, and
the slave narrative. Romantic women’s writers affirm the idea that the very act of writing is an act of female
empowerment.
This seminar aims at exploring Romantic women’s writing in a wide variety of literary, cultural, and media
texts. Students will problematize gender as an analytic category in American Cultural Studies and analyze
some of the major issues, debates, and narratives that are constiuitive of Romanticism. Then they will
investigate how those issues relate to some of the key texts by writers, such as Margaret Fuller, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Fanny Fern, Rebecca Harding Davis, Harriet Jacobs, E.D.E.N. Southworth, and Susan
Warner. Special emphasis will be placed on the dialogue of women’s literary production between the mid19th and the early 21st centuries.

In American Studies, the 1940s have not gained much attention as a literary decade. Instead, they are first
and foremost associated with Word War II, which is considered one of the most defining event in the 20th
century that has shaped the American nation. Nevertheless, the 1940s as a decade were not only influenced
by war, but it was a decade of numerous tensions and contradictions within the U.S: While Americans had
to endure social crisis and hardships from the 1930s to the early 1940s, they enjoyed full employment, good
wages, and new opportunities (especially for women and African Americans) during the war years. However,
social gains for women and African Americans were once more put to a halt and almost reversed in the
immediate postwar years, when new domestic tensions and fears aroused.
This course will explore how these tensions of the 1940s are reflected in the literature of this decade. We
will critically discuss short stories, plays, novels, and comics in class and how these texts reflect political and
social issues of this unique decade. Authors to be discussed include: Richard Wright, John Steinbeck,
Carson McCullers, Tennessee Williams Truman Capote, Shirley Jackson, and William Faulkner.
Books to be purchased and read: Richard Wright: Native Son (1940), John Steinbeck: The Moon Is Down
(1943), Carson McCullers: The Member of the Wedding (1946), Tennessee Williams: A Streetcar Named
Desire (1947). Please make sure to purchase the books and start reading! A reader with additional texts will
be made available at the beginning of semester.
