Lecture: VL "Historical Backgrounds and Critical Concepts"
VL "Historical Background and Critical Concepts" Course Outline "Historical Backgrounds and Critical Concepts" Courses: S/Ü "Key Concepts in Cultural Studies"
S/Ü "Key Concepts in Cultural Studies" Course Outline "S/Ü Key Concepts in Cultural Studies" Both the lecture (VL) and the courses (S/Ü) are part of the Basismodul ang070/ang071 and focus on key concepts in cultural studies and techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing culture. The VL "Historical Backgrounds and Critical Concepts" consists of 12 lectures and the S/Ü "Key Concepts in Cultural Studies" of 12 courses/Übungen. The S/Ü "Key Concepts in Cultural Studies" analyzes material and is relying on concepts and approaches complemented by the lectures. The analysis of the material from a cultural studies perspective is based on three guiding questions:
Please make sure that you are registered for the lecture and ONE of the courses in Stud.IP. 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. Mandatory texts and other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition, you will need to purchase the following works: Jacobs, Harriet. Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. 1861. Oxford: OUP, 2016. Print. [ISBN 13: 978-0198709879] Moore, Alan and Dave Gibbons. Watchmen. 1986-1987. New York: Random House, 2014. Print. [ISBN: 978-1-4012-4819-2] Little Miss Sunshine. Dir. Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. Perf. Greg Kinnear, Toni Collette, Steve Carell, Paul Dano, Abigail Breslin, and Alan Alda. 2006. Twentieth Century Fox, 2013. DVD. Course work: You will be asked to write three exercise assignments (analysing a non-fiction text, a graphic novel, and a film, respectively, max. 3 pages each; and composing a short bibliography, max. 1 page each), take a test about relevant content from the lecture series, and produce a research paper outline and a problem-oriented sample analysis of a relevant passage (RPO+, due on August 15). Both the outline and the sample analysis are preparatory steps for the research papers you will be asked to produce in future seminars. For this RPO+ you will need to find your own topic to work on, 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) and write up a formal and genre-specific analysis of a passage that fits in with the research question and thesis statement put forward in your RPO. All assignments are to be formatted according to the style sheet.
