Revision as of 09:32, 12 July 2021
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 Critical Concepts", offered this term) and
- a seminar ("Key Concepts of Cultural Studies", offered this term).
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".
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 "Key Concepts" Revision: Ü "Revision Course"
Ü "Revision Course" Course Outline "Revision Course" |
Both the lecture (VL) and the courses (S/Ü) 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 "Historical Backgrounds and Critical Concepts" consists of 7 lectures and the S/Ü "Key Concepts in Cultural Studies" of 14 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:
- 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.
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. Frances Smith Foster and Richard Yarborough. New York and London: Norton, 2018. Print.
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 ungraded exercise assignments (max. 3 pages) and produce a Research Paper Outline 'Plus' (RPO+), consisting of a research paper outline and a problem-oriented sample analysis (due on August 15). The assignments and the RPO+ are to be formatted according to the style sheet. For the 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.

1. Your RPO+ topic needs to be related to at least one of the key concepts: identity, media, discourse, culture and representation
2. As the material basis for your analysis you will need to pick material from the 'Übungen' (Incidents, Little Miss Sunshine).
You have access to the scholarly discourse on the material from the Übung through the MLA database.
