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 with its East/West-confrontation (mirrored within the series by disruptions of original interstellar confrontations).
The Seminar will deal with the following series of different topics - it will depend on your contributions where we will expand or contract the course:
The Future and the Present I
Star Trek The Original Series (1966–1969): Where does it reflect ongoing historical developments? Topics from the cold war and the environmental pollution to the present Hippie movement.
The Future and the Present II
The Sequels The Next Generation (1987–1994) and Deep Space Nine (1993–1999) - same question: Where does the ongoing production reflect ongoing historical developments? A comparison of the different generations.
The Future and the Present III
The Sequels Voyager (1995–2001) and Enterprise (2001–2005) same question a third time: Where does the ongoing production reflect ongoing historical developments? A comparison of the different generations.
