*'''Time:''' Thu, 16-18h
*'''Venue:''' A09 0-018
*'''Course:''' 3.02.990
*'''Lecturer:''' [[User:Anton Kirchhofer|Anton Kirchhofer]]
*'''Modul:''' ang991/2/3 - Media and Markets
*'''Course Description''':

Please, make sure to obtain and read / watch the following materials in advance:

1. Mad Men, season 1 (2007?)

2. South Park, season 19 (2015)

3. Anthony Trollope, ''The Struggles of Brown, Jones, and Robinson. By one of the Firm'' (1870)

4. James Joyce, ''Ulysses'' (1922): only chapter 7 'AEOLUS' and chapter 13 'NAUSICAA'

Advertising has been an increasingly visible element in our public sphere ever since the nineteenth century. It hss often been confined to particular sections in print media, or to particular segments and intervals in visual media.
The cultural image of advertising has some paradoxical aspects: it is, on the one hand, a content claiming our attention without being bona fide information.
As a consequence, the ability to distinguish public content by classifying it as either 'information' or 'advertisement' is part of our cultural literacy.
But on the other hand, it has been recognised as an important part of the economic basis sustaining a free and diverse culture of media pluralism.

This course will invite students to explore and reflect the (changing) cultural experience of advertising, on its changing forms and media, on its functions within the public sphere and its relation to other forms of public address (including literature, art but also news media). Our course will not focus on the analysis of advertisements themselves, but on literary representations of the cultural experience and the cultural status and relevance of advertising.
We will analyse and discuss fictional representations of advertising as a cultural practice from the nineteenth century to the present, focusing specifically on 'tales of the advertising industry' (Southpark Season 19 for advertising in contemporary digital media, Mad Men Season 1 for a semi-nostalgic look back at the advertising practices of the 1960s, Anthony Trollope's novel ''The Struggles of Brown, Jones and Robinson'' for a look at the emerging advertising industry of the later 19th century). In addition, in regard to these stories as well as to two chapters from James Joyce's ''Ulysses'', we will pay specific attention to the question of how the stories represent the ways in which advertising affects the ideas and the consciousness of individuals.

PLEASE NOTE: All primary materials will be made available through the university library. A mastercopy of Trollope's novel (which is out of print), based on the Project Gutenberg eBook, will be made available for photocopying. The other materials can also be obtained through the CVO book store.

BM7 - Introduction to Literary and Cultural Studies - Research Paper Outline

2013-06-06T12:59:22Z

Anton Kirchhofer:

'''Research Paper Outline: Choose a question on which you would write a research paper of around ten pages in length (based on the specifications given in the [http://www.anglistik.uni-oldenburg.de/download/BM7/leitfaden_lit-cult_2012.pdf Leitfaden zum Abfassen wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten] Link "works cited sample page" [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/12/]) and do the preparatory work that would allow you to actually start writing. '''

*How to go about it:
**Preferably pick a question that interests you, a genuine question (i.e. one to which you do not already know the answer). --- NOTE: your question must address materials covered in the course of Basismodul 1 "Übung".
**Find out whether other people have already written about this (or related) questions (you can use the MLA Bibliography, for example), and find out what their positions were, whether they agree with each other, or how and why they differ etc.
**Decide what your own position would be in this discussion and how you would support it (using, for example, some of the analytical skills and historical information that you have gained in the course of the Basismodul)
**Then write up your assignment, which must consist of four parts:
***1) Title. This must state the question that you are working on and perhaps even the particular view on it that you will seek to present. (Scholars often choose a two part title: a subtitle indicating the range of topics they are addressing, and a catchy main title indicating their particular perspective.)
***2) Abstract. This should consist of two paragraphs: one paragraph stating the question or problem you have chosen to work on, and giving a brief survey of the current state of research on this question; a second paragraph in which you explain, what the goal of your own contribution is, how you will go about reaching this goal, and why your problem is relevant (what difference it makes and to whom).
***3) Table of Contents. This must function as a structural outline, with "chapter headings" that give an indication of the structure of your paper and your argument.
***4) Bibliography (again according to the specifications of the style sheet) that lists the texts and sources you would use. This should include at least around six titles of critical and scholarly articles or books relevant to your theme.

*Maximum Length 2 pages
*'''Date due: February 28 (winter term) / August 15 (summer term)'''

For general information and more detailed hints on academic papers, please read our [http://www.anglistik.uni-oldenburg.de/download/BM7/leitfaden_lit-cult_2012.pdf Leitfaden zum Abfassen wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten]

You will be asked to discuss the current state of your work on this assignment in the final meeting of our courses.

==Grading==
You may gain up to 100 points in total. These are distributed as follows:
::20 points: all four components are complete, formally correct and in a plausible order
::20 points: quality of abstract: (is the problem that you are planning to work on stated clearly? Are the reasons for choosing this problem made clear, have you considered possible alternatives? Do you give concrete indications, how you would proceed, and what possible results might be?)
::20 points: quality of outline / structure (does your proposed table of contents have an inherent logic, and does it correspond to your description of your project in the abstract?)
::20 points: Title (Does the (sub-)title match the project described in your abstract? Does the title give a sense of the goals or propositions of the paper?)
::20 points: bibliography (10 points for formal correctness, 10 points for topicality and up-to-dateness of titles)

|}

Both the lecture and the courses are part of the Basismodul 7 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 [[Help:Account|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.

[http://www.anglistik.uni-oldenburg.de/download/BM7/handout_curriculum_BM7.pdf Course work]: You will be asked to complete a Written Test (Date: Saturday, July 06, 2013, 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 [http://www.anglistik.uni-oldenburg.de/download/BM7/leitfaden_lit-cult_2012.pdf style sheet].

Both the lecture and the courses are part of the Basismodul 7 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 [[Help:Account|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.

[http://www.anglistik.uni-oldenburg.de/download/BM7/handout_curriculum_BM7.pdf Course work]: You will be asked to complete a Written Test (Date: Saturday, July 06, 2013, 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 [http://www.anglistik.uni-oldenburg.de/download/BM7/leitfaden_lit-cult_2012.pdf style sheet].

Neil Young: LIVING WITH WAR

2012-06-19T21:43:00Z

Anton Kirchhofer:

LIVING WITH WAR

I'm living with war everyday 
I'm living with war in my heart every day 
I'm living with war right now 

And when the dawn breaks I see my fellow man 
And on the flat-screen we kill and we're killed again 
And when the night falls, I pray for peace 
Try to remember peace (visualize) 

I join the multitudes 
I raise my hand in peace 
I never bow to the laws of the thought police 
I take a holy vow 
To never kill again 
To never kill again 

I'm living with war in my heart 
I'm living with war in my heart in my mind 
I'm living with war right now 

Don't take no tidal wave 
Don't take no mass grave 
Don't take no smokin' gun 
To show how the west was won 
But when the curtain falls, I pray for peace 
Try to remember peace (visualize) 

In the crowded streets 
In the big hotels 
In the mosques and the doors of the old museum 
I take a holy vow 
To never kill again 
Try to remember peace 

The rocket's red glare 
Bombs bursting in air 
Give proof through the night, 
That our flag is still there 

I'm living with war everyday 
I'm living with war in my heart every day 
I'm living with war right now

The seminar part of the Basismodul 7 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering eight parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books:

*William Shakespeare. ''As You Like It''. Ed. Juliet Dusinberre. The Arden Shakespeare, third series. London: A & C Black, 2008.
*Mary Shelley. ''Frankenstein''. Ed. J. Paul Hunter. New York and London: Norton, 2003.

[http://www.anglistik.uni-oldenburg.de/download/BM7/handout_curriculum_BM7.pdf Course work]: You will be asked to hand in three exercise assignments (max. 3 pages, due on 25.11.2011, 16.12.2011 and 03.02.2012 respectively), complete a Written Test, and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due on 28.02.2012). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [http://www.angl-am.uni-oldenburg.de/downloads/leitfaden_wiss_arb_wise_09-10.pdf style sheet], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively, one of which will be tested at the end of the term (Written Test). 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 seminar part of the Basismodul 7 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering eight parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books:

*William Shakespeare. ''As You Like It''. Ed. Juliet Dusinberre. The Arden Shakespeare, third series. London: A & C Black, 2008.
*Mary Shelley. ''Frankenstein''. Ed. J. Paul Hunter. New York and London: Norton, 2003.

[[BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature:Curriculum|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three exercise assignments (max. 3 pages, due on xxx, xxx and xxx respectively), complete a Written Test, and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due on xxx). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [http://www.angl-am.uni-oldenburg.de/downloads/leitfaden_wiss_arb_wise_09-10.pdf style sheet], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively, one of which will be tested at the end of the term (Written Test). 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 seminar part of the Basismodul 7 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering eight parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books.

'''Courses A-D''':
*William Shakespeare. ''As You Like It''. Ed. Juliet Dusinberre. The Arden Shakespeare, third series. London: A & C Black, 2008.
*Mary Shelley. ''Frankenstein''. Ed. J. Paul Hunter. New York and London: Norton, 2003.

[[2007-08 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature:Curriculum|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (max. 3 pages, due on May 6th, May 27th and July 1st respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due on March 15th). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [http://www.angl-am.uni-oldenburg.de/downloads/leitfaden_wiss_arb_wise_09-10.pdf style sheet], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively. 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 seminar part of the Basismodul 7 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering eight parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books.

'''Courses A-D''':
*William Shakespeare. ''As You Like It''. Ed. Juliet Dusinberre. The Arden Shakespeare, third series. London: A & C Black, 2008.
*Mary Shelley. ''Frankenstein''. Ed. J. Paul Hunter. New York and London: Norton, 2003.

[[2007-08 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature:Curriculum|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (max. 3 pages, due on May 6th, May 27th and July 1st respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due on March 15th). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [http://www.angl-am.uni-oldenburg.de/downloads/leitfaden_wiss_arb_wise_09-10.pdf style sheet], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively. 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 seminar part of the Basismodul 7 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering eight parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books.

'''Courses A-D''':
*William Shakespeare. ''As You Like It''. Ed. Juliet Dusinberre. The Arden Shakespeare, third series. London: A & C Black, 2008.
*Mary Shelley. ''Frankenstein''. Ed. J. Paul Hunter. New York and London: Norton, 2003.

[[2007-08 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature:Curriculum|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (max. 3 pages, due on May 6th, May 27th and July 1st respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due on August 15th). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [http://www.angl-am.uni-oldenburg.de/downloads/leitfaden_wiss_arb_wise_09-10.pdf style sheet], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively. 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).

2011 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature

2011-03-03T14:46:12Z

Anton Kirchhofer:

'''Please note''': The BM1 (literature) and BM2 (culture) modules consist of a seminar and a tutorial each. All students beginning in the winter term 2010/11 need to enroll for one of the tutorials called "Reasearch Methods". Additionally, you will choose between a seminar under BM 1 (literature) or BM 2 (culture) for the winter term and then study the other one in the summer term. In the summer term you will enroll for the second tutorial, "Exploring History and Theory".

The seminar part of the Basismodul 1 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering four parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books.

'''Courses A-D''':
*William Shakespeare. ''Richard II''. Ed. Charles R. Forker. The Arden Shakespeare, 3rd series. London: A & C Black, 2002.
*Robert Louis Stevenson. ''Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde''. Ed. Katherine Linehan. New York, London: Norton, 2003.

[[2007-08 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature:Curriculum|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (max. 3 pages, due on May 6th, May 27th and July 1st respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due on August 15th). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [http://www.angl-am.uni-oldenburg.de/downloads/leitfaden_wiss_arb_wise_09-10.pdf style sheet], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively. 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).

2010 MM 1 Literature and Human Rights, Mon 14-16

2010-06-10T18:22:29Z

Anton Kirchhofer: /* 21.06.10 */

* '''Time:''' Monday 14-16

==Course Description==

The question of the universality or cultural relativity of human rights has been the subject of a
growing debate since the turn of the new millennium, and critics and theorists from literary and
cultural studies have taken their share in this debate. The course invites students to discuss
outstanding contributions to this debate; it offers the opportunity to explore the history of the
human rights discourse from around 1800 to the present, and to reflect its significance to literary
studies. At the core of our seminar will be the close reading of two outstanding works of fiction,
Mary Shelley’s _Frankenstein_ (1818) and J. M. Coetzee’s _Waiting for the Barbarians_ (1980).
Against the background of the emergence and development of the human rights discourse, the
particular focus of analysing these texts will be on the construction, the problematisation and the
relevance of descriptive and normative conceptions of the human to these texts and to the
cultural settings which produced them and to which they respond.
Students should purchase and read in advance:

Shelley, Frankenstein (angaben folgen)
Coetzee, waiting for the barbarians (angaben folgen)
[Both texts may be had at a very competitive price at the CvO Bookshop]

Additional materials for preparation, as well as the detailed syllabus, will be made available on
the course’s interactive wiki-website.

Requirements: for 9 KP (M.Ed. Gym and M.A.):

During the course: regular attendance, an oral contribution in the form of a presentation and
participation in an ‘expert group’ that will prepare a certain aspect of the seminar’s topic for the
final discussion.

After the course (deadline Aug 31, 2010): a term paper of ca. 20 pp. based on the topic of the
presentation.

Requirements for 6 KP (M.Ed. WiPaed):

During the course: as above.
After the course (deadline Aug 31, 2010): a term paper of ca. 10 pp. based on the topic of the
presentation.

The seminar part of the Basismodul 1 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering three parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books.

'''Courses A-C''':
*William Shakespeare. ''King Lear''. Ed. R.A. Foakes. London: A & C Black (3rd Series), 1997.
*Herman Melville. "Benito Cereno". ''Melville's Short Novels.'' Ed. Dan McCall. New York, London: Norton, 2002.

[[2007-08 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature:Curriculum|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (max. 3 pages, in session 4, 7 and 11 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due: tba). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [http://www.angl-am.uni-oldenburg.de/downloads/leitfaden_wiss_arb_wise_09-10.pdf style sheet], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively. 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).

2010 AM Fictions of a Puritan Past: Hogg’s Justified Sinner and Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter, Tues 10-12

2010-05-18T08:03:13Z

Anton Kirchhofer:

* '''Time:''' Tuesday 10-12

==Course Description==

The focus of this course is on two narratives from the first half of the nineteenth century, which
reflect the burning issues of their own time by telling stories from a past which, one may fear, is
not quite completely over. The stories are set in Scotland and New England respectively, and
they ostensibly represent the social oppressiveness, the self-righteousness and hypocrisy of the
Puritans of former times. At the same time, they appear to address dangers arising from a
religious fanaticism that continue to threaten the modern self-conception at the time of their
publication. Along with the close reading of the two narratives, the course will thus engage in a
discussion of the issues of national identities, of tradition vs. modernity, religion vs. secularity,
individual vs. society.
Students should purchase and read in advance:

James Hogg, Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner

Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter and Other Writings, 4th Leland S. Person, (Norton
Critical Editions).[Both texts may be had at a very competitive price at the CvO Bookshop]

Additional materials for preparation will be made available on the course’s interactive wikiwebsite.

Requirements: for 3 KP: regular attendance, an oral contribution in the form of a presentation
and participation in an ‘expert group’ that will prepare a certain aspect of the seminar’s topic for
the final discussion.
Requirements for 6 KP: as above, with a term paper of ca. 10 pp. based on the topic of the
presentation (deadline Aug 15, 2010).

2010 MM 1 Literature and Human Rights, Mon 14-16

2010-05-12T15:29:50Z

Anton Kirchhofer: /* 17.05.10 */

* '''Time:''' Monday 14-16

==Course Description==

The question of the universality or cultural relativity of human rights has been the subject of a
growing debate since the turn of the new millennium, and critics and theorists from literary and
cultural studies have taken their share in this debate. The course invites students to discuss
outstanding contributions to this debate; it offers the opportunity to explore the history of the
human rights discourse from around 1800 to the present, and to reflect its significance to literary
studies. At the core of our seminar will be the close reading of two outstanding works of fiction,
Mary Shelley’s _Frankenstein_ (1818) and J. M. Coetzee’s _Waiting for the Barbarians_ (1980).
Against the background of the emergence and development of the human rights discourse, the
particular focus of analysing these texts will be on the construction, the problematisation and the
relevance of descriptive and normative conceptions of the human to these texts and to the
cultural settings which produced them and to which they respond.
Students should purchase and read in advance:

Shelley, Frankenstein (angaben folgen)
Coetzee, waiting for the barbarians (angaben folgen)
[Both texts may be had at a very competitive price at the CvO Bookshop]

Additional materials for preparation, as well as the detailed syllabus, will be made available on
the course’s interactive wiki-website.

Requirements: for 9 KP (M.Ed. Gym and M.A.):

During the course: regular attendance, an oral contribution in the form of a presentation and
participation in an ‘expert group’ that will prepare a certain aspect of the seminar’s topic for the
final discussion.

After the course (deadline Aug 31, 2010): a term paper of ca. 20 pp. based on the topic of the
presentation.

Requirements for 6 KP (M.Ed. WiPaed):

During the course: as above.
After the course (deadline Aug 31, 2010): a term paper of ca. 10 pp. based on the topic of the

Anton Kirchhofer:

* '''Time:''' Monday 14-16

==Course Description==

The question of the universality or cultural relativity of human rights has been the subject of a
growing debate since the turn of the new millennium, and critics and theorists from literary and
cultural studies have taken their share in this debate. The course invites students to discuss
outstanding contributions to this debate; it offers the opportunity to explore the history of the
human rights discourse from around 1800 to the present, and to reflect its significance to literary
studies. At the core of our seminar will be the close reading of two outstanding works of fiction,
Mary Shelley’s _Frankenstein_ (1818) and J. M. Coetzee’s _Waiting for the Barbarians_ (1980).
Against the background of the emergence and development of the human rights discourse, the
particular focus of analysing these texts will be on the construction, the problematisation and the
relevance of descriptive and normative conceptions of the human to these texts and to the
cultural settings which produced them and to which they respond.
Students should purchase and read in advance:

Shelley, Frankenstein (angaben folgen)
Coetzee, waiting for the barbarians (angaben folgen)
[Both texts may be had at a very competitive price at the CvO Bookshop]

Additional materials for preparation, as well as the detailed syllabus, will be made available on
the course’s interactive wiki-website.

Requirements: for 9 KP (M.Ed. Gym and M.A.):

During the course: regular attendance, an oral contribution in the form of a presentation and
participation in an ‘expert group’ that will prepare a certain aspect of the seminar’s topic for the
final discussion.

After the course (deadline Aug 31, 2010): a term paper of ca. 20 pp. based on the topic of the
presentation.

Requirements for 6 KP (M.Ed. WiPaed):

During the course: as above.
After the course (deadline Aug 31, 2010): a term paper of ca. 10 pp. based on the topic of the
presentation.

2010 AM Fictions of a Puritan Past: Hogg’s Justified Sinner and Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter, Tues 10-12

2010-05-04T07:59:32Z

Anton Kirchhofer:

* '''Time:''' Tuesday 10-12

==Course Description==

The focus of this course is on two narratives from the first half of the nineteenth century, which
reflect the burning issues of their own time by telling stories from a past which, one may fear, is
not quite completely over. The stories are set in Scotland and New England respectively, and
they ostensibly represent the social oppressiveness, the self-righteousness and hypocrisy of the
Puritans of former times. At the same time, they appear to address dangers arising from a
religious fanaticism that continue to threaten the modern self-conception at the time of their
publication. Along with the close reading of the two narratives, the course will thus engage in a
discussion of the issues of national identities, of tradition vs. modernity, religion vs. secularity,
individual vs. society.
Students should purchase and read in advance:

James Hogg, Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner

Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter and Other Writings, 4th Leland S. Person, (Norton
Critical Editions).[Both texts may be had at a very competitive price at the CvO Bookshop]

Additional materials for preparation will be made available on the course’s interactive wikiwebsite.

Requirements: for 3 KP: regular attendance, an oral contribution in the form of a presentation
and participation in an ‘expert group’ that will prepare a certain aspect of the seminar’s topic for
the final discussion.
Requirements for 6 KP: as above, with a term paper of ca. 10 pp. based on the topic of the
presentation (deadline Aug 15, 2010).

The seminar part of the Basismodul 1 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering five parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books.

'''Courses A-E''':

2009-10 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature

Anton Kirchhofer:

'''Please note''': The BM1 (literature) and BM2 (culture) modules consist of a seminar and a tutorial each. All students beginning in the winter term 2009/10 need to enroll for one of the tutorials called "Reasearch Methods". Additionally, you will choose between a seminar under BM 1 (literature) or BM 2 (culture) for the winter term and then study the other one in the summer term. In the summer term you will enroll for the second tutorial, "Exploring History and Theory".

The seminar part of the Basismodul 1 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering five parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books.

'''Courses A-E''':
*William Shakespeare. ''Hamlet''. 1603. Eds. Neil Taylor and Ann Thompson. London: Arden (3rd Series), 2000.
*Henry James. ''Turn of the Screw''. 1898. Eds. Deborah Esch and Jonathan Warren. New York, London: Norton, [2] 1999.

[[2007-08 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature:Curriculum|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (max. 3 pages, in session 4, 7 and 12 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due: 28.02.2010). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [[Literary Studies:Style sheet|style sheet]], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively. 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).

Eine Anfrage zu den Expert Groups:

Sehr geehrte Herr Kirchhofer
> Nach ihrer Email bin ich mir noch immer nicht im klaren was genau wir nun
> zu tun haben bis zu nächsten Wochen. Soweit ich es verstanden habe sollen
> wir lediglich unsere Handouts und die zusammenfassung der Seminarstunde im
> Anglistik Wiki hochladen, sollte dies wirklich der Fall sein, verstehe ich
> nicht ganz den Sinn und Zweck da zumindest unsere Gruppe beide Dateien

> Ich hoffe sie können Licht ins Dunkel bringen und vielleicht nochmal mit

> Mit freundlichen Grüßen

:Meine Antwort war:

:... es geht darum, ihr Material nocheinmal neu zu sortieren und es dadurch in einen neuen Zusammenhang mit den Ergebnissen der anderen Gruppen zu bringen.
:Wenn Sie dem Link folgen, werden Sie die möglichen Überschriften sehen, unter denen Sie Ihr Material einsortieren können. Dann schauen wir, was sich an den neuen Zusammenstellungen beobachten lässt. Versuchen Sie's und wir reden dann nächste Woche über die Ergebnisse.

2009-10 AM Fictions of India: Colonial, Postcolonial, Contemporary

2010-01-27T11:15:49Z

Anton Kirchhofer: /* Expert Groups */

* '''Time:''' Tuesday 10-12

==Course Description==

Our seminar is organised around three novels in each of which the fate of a memorable young male protagonist is entangled with the political history of India. In reading Rudyard Kipling’s Kim, Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable and Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, the seminar provides the setting for an exemplary encounter with colonial, modernist and postmodernist fiction, as well as with the complex relationships that exist between historical backgrounds (colonialism, decolonisation, postcolonial politics) and literary discourse, not only in relation to topical and textual analysis, but also in relation to their cultural status and their conditions of production and circulation.

Students must purchase:
Rudyard Kipling, Kim [1901], ed. Alan Sandison, Oxford: OUP (World’s Classics), 1987 [current reprint].
Mulk Raj Anand, Untouchable [1935], London: Penguin [current reprint, preface by E. M. Forster]
Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children [1981], London: Vintage, 2006.

[All texts may be had at a very competitive price at the CvO Bookshop]
Further materials will be made available on the course’s wiki-website.

As an introduction to key concepts and major regions and historical perspectives in postcolonial studies, I recommend Tobias Döring, Postcolonial Literatures in English, Stuttgart: Klett, 2008.

Requirements: for 3 KP: regular attendance, an oral contribution in the form of a presentation and participation in an ‘expert group’ that will prepare a certain aspect of the seminar’s topic for the final discussion.

Requirements for 6 KP: as above, with a term paper of ca. 10 pp. based on the topic of the presentation (deadline Feb 29, 2010).

BM7 - Introduction to Literary and Cultural Studies - Research Paper Outline

2010-01-26T08:39:24Z

Anton Kirchhofer:

'''Research Paper Outline: Choose a question on which you would write a research paper of around ten pages in length (based on the specifications given in the [http://www.angl-am.uni-oldenburg.de/downloads/leitfaden_wiss_arb_wise_09-10.pdf Leitfaden zum Abfassen wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten]) and do the preparatory work that would allow you to actually start writing. '''

*How to go about it:
**Preferably pick a question that interests you, a genuine question (i.e. one to which you do not already know the answer). --- NOTE: your question must address materials covered in the course of Basismodul 1 "Übung".
**Find out whether other people have already written about this (or related) questions (you can use the MLA Bibliography, for example), and find out what their positions were, whether they agree with each other, or how and why they differ etc.
**Decide what your own position would be in this discussion and how you would support it (using, for example, some of the analytical skills and historical information that you have gained in the course of the Basismodul)
**Then write up your assignment, which must consist of four parts:
***1) A Title. This must state the question that you are working on and perhaps even the particular view on it that you will seek to present. (Scholars often choose a two part title: a subtitle indicating the range of topics they are addressing, and a catchy main title indicating their particular perspective.)
***2) An Abstract. This should consist of two paragraphs: one paragraph stating the question or problem you have chosen to work on, and giving a brief survey of the current state of research on this question; a second paragraph in which you explain, what the goal of your own contribution is, how you will go about reaching this goal, and why your problem is relevant (what difference it makes and to whom).
***3) A Table of Contents. This must function as a structural outline, with "chapter headings" that give an indication of the structure of your paper and your argument.
***4) A Bibliography (again according to the specifications of the style sheet) that lists the texts and sources you would use. This should include at least around six titles of critical and scholarly articles or books relevant to your theme.

*Maximum Length 2 pages
*'''Date due: Feb. 28, 2010'''

For general information and more detailed hints on academic papers, please read our [http://www.angl-am.uni-oldenburg.de/downloads/leitfaden_wiss_arb_wise_09-10.pdf Leitfaden zum Abfassen wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten]

You will be asked to discuss the current state of your work on this assignment in the final meeting of our courses.

Example of Research Paper Outline [[BM1 - Introduction to Literature - Assignment 4: Research Paper Outline:Example]].

==Grading==
You may gain up to 100 points in total. These are distributed as follows:
::20 points: all four components are complete, formally correct and in a plausible order
::20 points: quality of abstract: (is the problem that you are planning to work on stated clearly? Are the reasons for choosing this problem made clear, have you considered possible alternatives? Do you give concrete indications, how you would proceed, and what possible results might be?)
::20 points: quality of outline / structure (does your proposed table of contents have an inherent logic, and does it correspond to your description of your project in the abstract?)
::20 points: Title (Does the (sub-)title match the project described in your abstract? Does the title give a sense of the goals or propositions of the paper?)
::20 points: bibliography (10 points for formal correctness, 10 points for topicality and up-to-dateness of titles)

The seminar part of the Basismodul 1 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering five parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books.

'''Courses A-E''':
*William Shakespeare. ''Hamlet''. 1603. Eds. Neil Taylor and Ann Thompson. London: Arden (3rd Series), 2000.
*Henry James. ''Turn of the Screw''. 1898. Eds. Deborah Esch and Jonathan Warren. New York, London: Norton, [2] 1999.

[[2007-08 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature:Curriculum|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (max. 3 pages, in session 4, 7 and 12 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due: 28.02.2010). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [[Literary Studies:Style sheet|style sheet]], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively. 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).

2009-11-30T19:16:42Z

Anton Kirchhofer:

'''Please note''': The BM1 (literature) and BM2 (culture) modules consist of a seminar and a tutorial each. All students beginning in the winter term 2009/10 need to enroll for one of the tutorials called "Reasearch Methods". Additionally, you will choose between a seminar under BM 1 (literature) or BM 2 (culture) for the winter term and then study the other one in the summer term. In the summer term you will enroll for the second tutorial, "Exploring History and Theory".

The seminar part of the Basismodul 1 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering five parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP and open a [[Help:Account|wiki account]] which will enable you to participate in online discussions.

All parallel courses have a common structure. 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.

Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books.

'''Courses A-E''':
*William Shakespeare. ''Hamlet''. 1603. Eds. Neil Taylor and Ann Thompson. London: Arden (3rd Series), 2000.
*Henry James. ''Turn of the Screw''. 1898. Eds. Deborah Esch and Jonathan Warren. New York, London: Norton, [2] 1999.

[[2007-08 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature:Curriculum|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (max. 3 pages, in session 4, 7 and 12 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due: 28.02.2010). The assignments are to be formatted according to the [[Literary Studies:Style sheet|style sheet]], and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively. 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).
