Star Trek is far more than a TV-series. It is a cultural phenomenon with enormous ramifications marked by substantial plot developments, and it is a powerful piece of fiction due to its wide range of cultural, philosophical, aesthetic and political allusions. The original series became a cult classic, the Star Trek universe it created does in retrospect bridge generations and political gaps such as the Cold War East/West-confrontation (mirrored within the series by disruptions of original interstellar confrontations).
The seminar could deal with
- plots of the original series which can be seen in the contexts of philosophical, social or political debates,
- character developments (the actors were in fact quite able to create and develop their own characters during the twenty years they belonged to the Star Trek universe),
- developments of the fictional settings (with the different ramifications of the series),
- developments of the fan community,
- the merchandising of the Star Trek universe.
