Tutorials:
The lecture and course is part of the Basismodul 7 an focuses on key concepts in cultural studies and techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing culture. This part of the BM7 is consists of 6 lectures on Historical Backgrounds and Critical Concepts which are structure into three conceptual blocks:
- Block I: The Formation of historical peroids in literary and cultural studies
- Block II: Primary facts and moments in the study of cultural and literary history
- Block III: Concepts of Cultural Studies
The lectures are followed by 7 courses on Key Concepts of Cultural Studies. Please make sure that you are registered for the lecture and ONE of the courses in Stud.IP and open a wiki account which will enable you to participate in online discussions.
The texts for our courses will come from a common pool, though each course may have a different choice.
The "analytical tools" will be presented by the lecturers (on a handout) in each meeting. The additional reading from which these 'tools' are taken is not obligatory, and it can be done either before or after each session.
Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two XXXX:
Course work: You will be asked to complete a Written Test (Date: tba), and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due on Aug 15). For the Research Paper Outline you will need to find your own topic to work on and document the preliminary work (this includes finding an appropriate title, writing a paragraph on the state of the art of your problem and one that describes your problem and your goal, and presenting a tentative table of contents as well as a short bibliography).
