As a [http://www.fictionmeetsscience.org/ccm/navigation/ Fiction Meets Science] research fellow (2014-18; 2018-21), she has worked on the media reception of contemporary science novels, the scientist protagonist, and global dimensions of science in fiction. As a Junior Fellow at the [https://www.h-w-k.de/ Hanse-WissenschaftsKolleg], she is working on a project on "scientific expedition narratives" in contemporary fiction (2018-22). Together with Dr. Simone Broders from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, she is the initiator of [http://limitsofknowledge.eu/ Limits of Knowledge], a research project on the productiveness of ignorance, non-knowledge, and agnotology in Anglophone studies, literature and culture.

2017 AM Expedition Narratives: Literary Representations of British Polar Exploration in the Long Nineteenth Century

2026-03-04T12:10:18Z

Anna Auguscik:

*'''Time:''' Tue, 08:00-10:00
*'''Venue:''' A01 0-010 b
*'''Course:''' 3.02.150
*'''Lecturer:''' [[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]]
*'''Modul:''' ang615 Motifs - Themes - Issues (and their Media)

*'''Course Description''':

Our knowledge of the history of voyages of exploration is largely based on our knowledge of expedition narratives: most of what we know about the journeys of these (mostly) men is based on written accounts. These accounts are partly authored by the explorers themselves (logbooks, diaries, journals, memoirs, scientific papers) and partly penned by others: fellow explorers, biographers, novelists.

In this course, we will focus on representations of the British exploration of the Polar Regions in the long nineteenth century. In particular, we will read various texts based on and inspired by John Franklin’s ‘Lost Expedition’ (1845) and Robert Falcon Scott’s ‘Terra Nova Expedition’ (1910-13). For the Arctic Region, we will read Wilkie Collins’s The Frozen Deep (1874), Robert Edric’s The Broken Lands (1992) and Richard Flanagan’s Wanting (2008). For the Antarctic Region, we will read Apsley Cherry-Garrard’s The Worst Journey in the World (1922), Beryl Bainbridge’s The Birthday Boys (1991), Kim Stanley Robinson’s Antarctica (1998) and Rebecca Hunt’s Everland (2014).

The various non-fictional and fictional texts, literary and genre novels, historical and contemporary texts will allow us to examine the following questions: What plots/themes/motifs/character constellations are typical of the expedition narrative (e.g. in reference to Empire, Englishness, masculinity, or science and culture)? What specific narrative strategies do we find (e.g. multiple narrators, intertextuality, genre mix)? How do these accounts handle the relationship between 'fact' and 'fiction'? What is the motivation for re-narrating these expeditions? What effects might they have on the (contemporary) image of these explorers?

PLEASE NOTE: Beryl Bainbridge's ''The Birthday Boys'' will be made available at the CvO bookshop. Robert Edric's ''The Broken Lands'' is currently out of print. Several second-hand copies can be acquired in my office (EUR 5). If you use an e-book version, please make sure to have a reading device with you in each session (cf. e.g. [http://www.buecher.de/shop/belletristik/the-broken-lands-ebook-epub/edric-robert/products_products/detail/prod_id/41053417| www.buecher.de, EUR 6,99]) Please, contact me if you have difficulties with obtaining the book.

===Quotes===
*“One of the jobs of historical novelists is to uncover those secret histories which, for one reason or another, professional historians have overlooked. Often this involves the apperception of a narrative where others might simply have seen discontinuities.” --Giles Foden, rev. of Richard Flanagan’s Wanting, Guardian, 26 Sept 2009
*"The ship is the heterotopia par excellence. In civilizations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure, and the police take the place of pirates." (Foucault 1986: 27)

==About me==

As a [http://www.fictionmeetsscience.org/ccm/navigation/ Fiction Meets Science] research fellow (2014-18; 2018-21), she has worked on the media reception of contemporary science novels, the scientist protagonist, and global dimensions of science in fiction. As a Junior Fellow at the [https://www.h-w-k.de/ Hanse-WissenschaftsKolleg], she is working on a project on "scientific expedition narratives" in contemporary fiction (2018-22). Together with Dr. Simone Broders from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, she is the initiator of [http://limitsofknowledge.eu/ Limits of Knowledge], a research project on the productiveness of ignorance, non-knowledge, and agnotology in Anglophone studies, literature and culture.

Her research focuses on the novel in the literary marketplace and the relationship between literature and science.

As a [http://www.fictionmeetsscience.org/ccm/navigation/ Fiction Meets Science] research fellow (2014-18; 2018-21), she has worked on the media reception of contemporary science novels, the scientist protagonist, and global dimensions of science in fiction. As a Junior Fellow at the [https://www.h-w-k.de/ Hanse-WissenschaftsKolleg], she is working on a project on "scientific expedition narratives" in contemporary fiction (2018-22). Together with Dr. Simone Broders from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, she is the initiator of [http://limitsofknowledge.eu/ Limits of Knowledge], a research project on the productiveness of ignorance, non-knowledge, and agnotology in Anglophone studies, literature and culture.

As a [http://www.fictionmeetsscience.org/ccm/navigation/ Fiction Meets Science] research fellow (2014-18; 2018-21), she has worked on the media reception of contemporary science novels, the scientist protagonist, and global dimensions of science in fiction.

Together with Dr. Simone Broders from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, she is the initiator of [http://limitsofknowledge.eu/ Limits of Knowledge], a research project on the productiveness of ignorance, non-knowledge, and agnotology in Anglophone studies, literature and culture.

2025 AM Physics and Fiction

2025-07-08T06:05:31Z

Anna Auguscik:

*'''Modul:''' ang622 ('Akzentsetzung'), phy355 (physikalische Wahlstudien), pb113, pb114; ang902
*'''Lecturer:''' Petra Groß and [[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]]

*'''Course:''' 3.02.221
*'''Time and Venue:''' regular online Stud.IP/BBB meetings, Wednesday 16-18h (with an option of two longer sessions in presence)

*'''Course Description''':

Physics has often been understood as the opposite of fiction: formulae vs narrative, reality vs constructedness, in short, fact vs fiction. This has not discouraged writers to take up the challenge of merging the two, as a long tradition of science fiction attests. However, the interest in representing physics, physicists and their work on the part of what is considered 'literary fiction' seems to be more recent. This interdisciplinary seminar, co-taught by a physicist and a literary scholar focuses on representations of physics specifically in contemporary fiction. In a rare setting with students from both the English and the Physics departments, as well as across the universities of Oldenburg and Bremen, we will read at least one full science novel and several other science-related short stories and poems. This term, our focus will be on the topic of space and specifically on literary representations of the International Space Station (ISS) programme.

Please, buy and read the following novel and short story anthology:
*Samantha Harvey. Orbital. London: Vermilion, 2024. [ISBN: 978-1-5299-2293-6]
*Ra Page, ed. Litmus: Short Stories from Modern Science. Manchester: Comma Press, 2011. [ISBN: 978-1-905583-33-1]

In addition, we will read poetry written for, about and on the ISS by, among others, current US poet laureate Ada Limón.

PLEASE NOTE: Use the time until the beginning of term to immerse yourself in the reading of these primary sources. All of the above can be obtained at our local book shop, Bültmann & Gerriets. Additional materials for preparation, as well as the detailed syllabus, will be made available here and/or on Stud.IP.

2025 AM Physics and Fiction

2025-06-18T16:05:32Z

Anna Auguscik:

under construction
*'''Modul:''' ang622 ('Akzentsetzung'), phy355 (physikalische Wahlstudien), pb113, pb114; ang902
*'''Lecturer:''' Petra Groß and [[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]]

*'''Course:''' 3.02.221
*'''Time and Venue:''' regular online Stud.IP/BBB meetings, Wednesday 16-18h (with an option of two longer sessions in presence)

*'''Course Description''':

Physics has often been understood as the opposite of fiction: formulae vs narrative, reality vs constructedness, in short, fact vs fiction. This has not discouraged writers to take up the challenge of merging the two, as a long tradition of science fiction attests. However, the interest in representing physics, physicists and their work on the part of what is considered 'literary fiction' seems to be more recent. This interdisciplinary seminar, co-taught by a physicist and a literary scholar focuses on representations of physics specifically in contemporary fiction. In a rare setting with students from both the English and the Physics departments, as well as across the universities of Oldenburg and Bremen, we will read at least one full science novel and several other science-related short stories and poems. This term, our focus will be on the topic of space and specifically on literary representations of the International Space Station (ISS) programme.

Please, buy and read the following novel and short story anthology:
*Samantha Harvey. Orbital. London: Vermilion, 2024. [ISBN: 978-1-5299-2293-6]
*Ra Page, ed. Litmus: Short Stories from Modern Science. Manchester: Comma Press, 2011. [ISBN: 978-1-905583-33-1]

In addition, we will read poetry written for, about and on the ISS by, among others, current US poet laureate Ada Limón.

PLEASE NOTE: Use the time until the beginning of term to immerse yourself in the reading of these primary sources. All of the above can be obtained at our local book shop, Bültmann & Gerriets. Additional materials for preparation, as well as the detailed syllabus, will be made available here and/or on Stud.IP.

2025 AM Physics and Fiction

2025-04-23T16:22:29Z

Anna Auguscik: /* Online Session: 11 June */

under construction
*'''Modul:''' ang622 ('Akzentsetzung'), phy355 (physikalische Wahlstudien), pb113, pb114; ang902
*'''Lecturer:''' Petra Groß and [[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]]

*'''Course:''' 3.02.221
*'''Time and Venue:''' regular online Stud.IP/BBB meetings, Wednesday 16-18h (with an option of two longer sessions in presence)

*'''Course Description''':

Physics has often been understood as the opposite of fiction: formulae vs narrative, reality vs constructedness, in short, fact vs fiction. This has not discouraged writers to take up the challenge of merging the two, as a long tradition of science fiction attests. However, the interest in representing physics, physicists and their work on the part of what is considered 'literary fiction' seems to be more recent. This interdisciplinary seminar, co-taught by a physicist and a literary scholar focuses on representations of physics specifically in contemporary fiction. In a rare setting with students from both the English and the Physics departments, as well as across the universities of Oldenburg and Bremen, we will read at least one full science novel and several other science-related short stories and poems. This term, our focus will be on the topic of space and specifically on literary representations of the International Space Station (ISS) programme.

Please, buy and read the following novel and short story anthology:
*Samantha Harvey. Orbital. London: Vermilion, 2024. [ISBN: 978-1-5299-2293-6]
*Ra Page, ed. Litmus: Short Stories from Modern Science. Manchester: Comma Press, 2011. [ISBN: 978-1-905583-33-1]

In addition, we will read poetry written for, about and on the ISS by, among others, current US poet laureate Ada Limón.

PLEASE NOTE: Use the time until the beginning of term to immerse yourself in the reading of these primary sources. All of the above can be obtained at our local book shop, Bültmann & Gerriets. Additional materials for preparation, as well as the detailed syllabus, will be made available here and/or on Stud.IP.

*'''Modul:''' ang622 ('Akzentsetzung'), phy355 (physikalische Wahlstudien), pb113, pb114; ang902
*'''Lecturer:''' Petra Groß and [[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]]

*'''Course:''' 3.02.221
*'''Time and Venue:''' regular online Stud.IP/BBB meetings, Wednesday 16-18h (with an option of two longer sessions in presence)

*'''Course Description''':

Physics has often been understood as the opposite of fiction: formulae vs narrative, reality vs constructedness, in short, fact vs fiction. This has not discouraged writers to take up the challenge of merging the two, as a long tradition of science fiction attests. However, the interest in representing physics, physicists and their work on the part of what is considered 'literary fiction' seems to be more recent. This interdisciplinary seminar, co-taught by a physicist and a literary scholar focuses on representations of physics specifically in contemporary fiction. In a rare setting with students from both the English and the Physics departments, as well as across the universities of Oldenburg and Bremen, we will read at least one full science novel and several other science-related short stories and poems. This term, our focus will be on the topic of space and specifically on literary representations of the International Space Station (ISS) programme.

Please, buy and read the following novel and short story anthology:
*Samantha Harvey. Orbital. London: Vermilion, 2024. [ISBN: 978-1-5299-2293-6]
*Ra Page, ed. Litmus: Short Stories from Modern Science. Manchester: Comma Press, 2011. [ISBN: 978-1-905583-33-1]

In addition, we will read poetry written for, about and on the ISS by, among others, current US poet laureate Ada Limón.

PLEASE NOTE: Use the time until the beginning of term to immerse yourself in the reading of these primary sources. All of the above can be obtained at our local book shop, Bültmann & Gerriets. Additional materials for preparation, as well as the detailed syllabus, will be made available here and/or on Stud.IP.

*'''Course Description''':

Physics has often been understood as the opposite of fiction: formulae vs narrative, reality vs constructedness, in short, fact vs fiction. This has not discouraged writers to take up the challenge of merging the two, as a long tradition of science fiction attests. However, the interest in representing physics, physicists and their work on the part of what is considered 'literary fiction' seems to be more recent. This interdisciplinary seminar, co-taught by a physicist and a literary scholar focuses on representations of physics specifically in contemporary fiction. In a rare setting with students from both the English and the Physics departments, as well as across the universities of Oldenburg and Bremen, we will read at least one full science novel and several other science-related short stories and poems. This term, our focus will be on the topic of space and specifically on literary representations of the International Space Station (ISS) programme.

Please, buy and read the following novel and short story anthology:
*Samantha Harvey. Orbital. London: Vermilion, 2024. [ISBN: 978-1-5299-2293-6]
*Ra Page, ed. Litmus: Short Stories from Modern Science. Manchester: Comma Press, 2011. [ISBN: 978-1-905583-33-1]

In addition, we will read poetry written for, about and on the ISS by, among others, current US poet laureate Ada Limón.

PLEASE NOTE: Use the time until the beginning of term to immerse yourself in the reading of these primary sources. All of the above can be obtained at our local book shop, Bültmann & Gerriets. Additional materials for preparation, as well as the detailed syllabus, will be made available here and/or on Stud.IP.

*'''Course Description''': This course is designed to accompany the lecture ‘Introduction to Literary History and Textual Analysis’ (3.02.040) with additional discussions of the ideas, theories, and texts mentioned there. The course is meant to add to students' construction of a ‘narrative’ of this field, or, in other words, to students’ understanding of the history and culture of literary studies as an academic discipline. Why do we read certain texts? Why do we read them with certain ‘analysis tools’? Each week, we will discuss the contents of the lecture and read texts that will open up this perspective. Please note that we will concentrate on reading secondary literature but that you will also need to familiarize yourself with the current BM's corpus. Hence, please '''buy and read''':

* Shakespeare, William. ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''. Ed. Sukanta Chaudhuri. The Arden Shakespeare, third series. London: Bloomsbury, 2017. Print. [ISBN: 978-1408133491]
* Stevenson, Robert Louis. ''Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Tales''. Ed. Roger Luckhurst. Oxford: OUP, 2008. Print. [ISBN: 978-0199536221], read ''Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'' only

2025 AM Physics and Fiction

2025-01-11T18:30:56Z

Anna Auguscik:

under construction
*'''Modul:''' ang622 ('Akzentsetzung'), phy355 (physikalische Wahlstudien), pb113, pb114
*'''Lecturer:''' Petra Groß and [[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]]

*'''Course:''' 3.02.221
*'''Time and Venue:''' regular online Stud.IP/BBB meetings, Wednesday 16-18h (with an option of two longer sessions in presence)

*'''Course Description''':

Physics has often been understood as the opposite of fiction: formulae vs narrative; reality vs constructedness; in short, fact vs fiction. This has not discouraged writers to take up this very challenge, as a long tradition of science fiction attests. However, the interest in representing physics, physicists and their work on the part of what is considered 'literary fiction' seems to be more recent.

In this summer term, we offer an interdisciplinary seminar focusing on representations of physics specifically in contemporary fiction. In a rare setting with students from both the English and the Physics departments, we will read at least one full science novel and several other science-related shorter texts (poems, short stories, etc.). We want to approach questions such as: How much science is contained in these texts and how is it incorporated? How relevant is it for the text? Is the representation correct or plausible? What is the underlying scientific context, and how does it relate to society or politics-related discussions? How do these writings contribute to the 'two cultures' debate, or even the so-called 'science wars'? And how can physicists and literary scholars, or future teachers of either discipline, profit from such a reading? This time, our focus will be on the topic of space and specifically the ISS programme.

Please, '''buy and read''' the following novel and short story anthology:
*Harvey, Samantha. ''Orbital''. London: Vermilion, 2024. [ISBN: 978-1-5299-2293-6; also available via Bueltmann & Gerriets]
*Page, Ra, ed. ''Litmus: Short Stories from Modern Science'' Manchester: Comma Press, 2011. [ISBN: 978-1-905583-33-1 ; also available via Bueltmann & Gerriets]

In addition, we will read several ISS poems.

PLEASE NOTE: Use the time until the beginning of term to immerse yourself in the reading of these primary sources. All of the above can be obtained at our local book shop, Bültmann & Gerriets. Additional materials for preparation, as well as the detailed syllabus, will be made available here and/or on Stud.IP.

*'''Modul:''' ang622 ('Akzentsetzung'), phy355 (physikalische Wahlstudien), pb113, pb114
*'''Lecturer:''' Petra Groß and [[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]]

*'''Course:''' 3.02.221
*'''Time and Venue:''' regular online Stud.IP/BBB meetings, Wednesday 16-18h, and two longer sessions in presence Wednesday, 13-18h (tentatively scheduled for 29 May and 26 June)

*'''Course Description''':

Physics has often been understood as the opposite of fiction: formulae vs narrative; reality vs constructedness; in short, fact vs fiction. This has not discouraged writers to take up this very challenge, as a long tradition of science fiction attests. However, the interest in representing physics, physicists and their work on the part of what is considered 'literary fiction' seems to be more recent.

In this summer term, we offer an interdisciplinary seminar focusing on representations of physics specifically in contemporary fiction. In a rare setting with students from both the English and the Physics departments, we will read at least one full science novel and several other science-related shorter texts (poems, short stories, etc.). We want to approach questions such as: How much science is contained in these texts and how is it incorporated? How relevant is it for the text? Is the representation correct or plausible? What is the underlying scientific context, and how does it relate to society or politics-related discussions? How do these writings contribute to the 'two cultures' debate, or even the so-called 'science wars'? And how can physicists and literary scholars, or future teachers of either discipline, profit from such a reading? This time, our focus will be on the topic of space and specifically the ISS programme.

Please, '''buy and read''' the following novel and short story anthology:
*''Orbital''.
*Page, Ra, ed. ''Litmus: Short Stories from Modern Science'' Manchester: Comma Press, 2011. [ISBN: 978-1-905583-33-1 ; also available via Bueltmann & Gerriets]

In addition, we will read excerpts from the following texts:

PLEASE NOTE: Use the time until the beginning of term to immerse yourself in the reading of these primary sources. All of the above can be obtained at our local book shop, Bültmann & Gerriets.

*'''Course Description''': This course is designed to accompany the lecture ‘Introduction to Literary History and Textual Analysis’ (3.02.040) with additional discussions of the ideas, theories, and texts mentioned there. The course is meant to add to students' construction of a ‘narrative’ of this field, or, in other words, to students’ understanding of the history and culture of literary studies as an academic discipline. Why do we read certain texts? Why do we read them with certain ‘analysis tools’? Each week, we will discuss the contents of the lecture and read texts that will open up this perspective. Please note that we will concentrate on reading secondary literature but that you will also need to familiarize yourself with the current BM's corpus. Hence, please '''buy and read''':

The course is meant to add to students' construction of a ‘narrative’ of this field, or, in other words, to students’ understanding of the history and culture of literary studies as an academic discipline. Why do we read certain texts? Why do we read them with certain ‘analysis tools’? Each week, we will discuss the contents of the lecture and read texts that will open up this perspective. Please note that we will concentrate on reading secondary literature but that you will also need to familiarize yourself with the current BM's corpus. Hence, please '''buy and read''':

* Shakespeare, William. ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''. Ed. Sukanta Chaudhuri. The Arden Shakespeare, third series. London: Bloomsbury, 2017. Print. [ISBN: 978-1408133491]

Anna Auguscik:

*'''Modul:''' ang902, ang622, pb113, pb114
*'''Lecturer:''' [[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]]

*'''Course:''' Literature, Literary History and Literary Studies
*'''Time:''' Friday 10-12h
*'''Venue:''' A06 2-212

*'''Course Description''': This course is designed to accompany the lecture ‘Introduction to Literary History and Textual Analysis’ (3.02.040) with additional discussions of the ideas, theories, and texts mentioned there. The course is meant to add to students' construction of a ‘narrative’ of this field, or, in other words, to students’ understanding of the history and culture of literary studies as an academic discipline. Why do we read certain texts? Why do we read them with certain ‘analysis tools’? Each week, we will discuss the contents of the lecture and read texts that will open up this perspective.

*'''Course:''' Literature, Literary History and Literary Studies

*'''Course Description''': This course is designed to accompany the lecture ‘Introduction to Literary History and Textual Analysis’ (3.02.040) with additional discussions of the ideas, theories, and texts mentioned there. The course is meant to add to students' construction of a ‘narrative’ of this field, or, in other words, to students’ understanding of the history and culture of literary studies as an academic discipline. Why do we read certain texts? Why do we read them with certain ‘analysis tools’? Each week, we will discuss the contents of the lecture and read texts that will open up this perspective. Please note that we will concentrate on reading secondary literature but that you will also need to familiarize yourself with the current BM's corpus. Hence, please '''buy and read''':
