    PLEASE NOTE: THIS PAGE IS CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED.

Please note: The ang070 module consists of

a seminar ("S/Ü: Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature", offered in the previous winter term),
a tutorial ("TUT: Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature", offered in the previous winter term),
a (biweekly) lecture ("Historical Backgrounds and Critcal Concepts", offered this term) and
a seminar ("Key Concepts of Cultural Studies", offered this term).

If you have already completed parts, but not the entire Basismodul in literary and/or cultural studies in previous semesters, please contact Michaela Koch.

On this page you will find detailed information on the lecture "Historical Backgrounds and Critical Concepts" and on the courses "Key Concepts in Cultural Studies".

3.02.048 - Michaela Koch - Thu, 18:00-20:00, Room: A01 0-009

Both the lecture and the courses are part of the Basismodul ang070 and focus on key concepts in cultural studies and techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing culture. The VL/Ü Key Concepts of Cultural Studies consists of 6 lectures on "Historical Backgrounds and Critical Concepts" and 13 courses/Übungen on "Key Concepts of Cultural Studies".

The Übung 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:

1. What are the specific and medial characteristics of the Material? (See Handouts: Conceptual Tools)
2. How is the material situated and what institutions are responsible for its existence and discussion?
3. What function and effect for identity formation can the material have?

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. 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. Eds. Nellie Y. McKay and Frances Smith Foster. New York and London: Norton, 2001. Print.

   Spiegelman, Art. In the Shadow of No Towers. New York: Pantheon, 2004. Print.

   Fight Club. 1999. Dir. David Fincher. Perf. Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter. 20th Century Fox, 2013. DVD.

Course Work: You will be asked to complete a Written Test (Date: Saturday, July 18, 2015, 10:00-12:00, A14 Hörsaal 1 und 2), 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). The RPO is to be formatted according to the style sheet.
