* '''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).

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).

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).

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

2009-10-29T13:54:21Z

Johannes Reinke: /* 27.10.09 */

* '''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).

2009 MM African Intertextualities: Writing and Rewriting in Anglophone Fiction from Africa

2009-05-20T10:53:23Z

Johannes Reinke: /* 02.06.09 */

* '''Time:''' Tuesdays 10-12 am
* '''Venue''' A1 0-004

==Course Description==

3.02.511 African Intertextualities: Writing and Rewriting in Anglophone Fiction from Africa; auch HS klausurvorbereitend

The seminar will introduce students to some outstanding African fiction in English, and it will explore the connections between these novels and short stories through the lens of a key concept of late 20th century literary theory: intertextuality. The central focus will be on two writers who are rarely placed side by side: Ngugi wa Thiong’o, a Kenyan writer with a strong political commitment who has called for the abolition of English departments in Africa and who even gave up writing in English; and J. M. Coetzee, the South African Nobel prize winner who has sought to place himself in a European rather than African tradition, and has consistently rejected the idea of the political relevance of fiction. The seminar will analyse two of their most famous novels, comparing and contrasting them and exploring the possible intertextual connections between them. Additional material will include shorter fiction by Eskia Mphahlele, Amos Tutuola and Ben Okri.

Students should purchase the following books (preferably in the editions given here) and have read by the beginning of term:
*J. M. Coetzee, ''Disgrace'' (1999), New York: Vintage, 2000 (ISBN: 0099284820).
*Ngugi wa Thiong'o, ''A Grain of Wheat'' (1967), Oxford et al.: Heinemann, 1986 (African Writers Series, ISBN: 0435909878),
or: Ngugi wa Thiong'o, ''A Grain of Wheat'', London: Penguin Classics, 2002 (ISBN 13: 978-0-14-118699-3).

For initial background information you may consult the following: Owomoyela, Oyekan, ed. ''A History of Twentieth-Century African Literatures'', University of Nebraska Press, 1993. -- McLeod, John. ''Beginning Postcolonialism''. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2000. -- Allen, Graham, ''Intertextuality''. London: Routledge, 2001.

'''Course Requirements for credits as a Master Module "English Literatures":'''

*An oral presentation of max. 20 minutes to introduce the seminar discussion in one of the sessions.
*A contribution to one of the "expert groups" which take up recurring aspects of the individual meetings and place them in a comparative perspective.
*A term paper (generally building on one or several of the issues raised in your presentation and “expert” contribution; length ca. 20 pages for M.Ed.Gym.; 10-12 pages for M.Ed.WiPaed.; deadline 1 Sep 2009).

:*Additionally, for students of the MA English Studies, a research project

'''Requirements for candidates for the Staatsexamenklausur''':

2009 MM African Intertextualities: Writing and Rewriting in Anglophone Fiction from Africa

2009-04-22T14:20:23Z

Johannes Reinke: /* 05.05.09 */

* '''Time:''' Tuesdays 10-12 am
* '''Venue''' A1 0-004

==Course Description==

3.02.511 African Intertextualities: Writing and Rewriting in Anglophone Fiction from Africa; auch HS klausurvorbereitend

The seminar will introduce students to some outstanding African fiction in English, and it will explore the connections between these novels and short stories through the lens of a key concept of late 20th century literary theory: intertextuality. The central focus will be on two writers who are rarely placed side by side: Ngugi wa Thiong’o, a Kenyan writer with a strong political commitment who has called for the abolition of English departments in Africa and who even gave up writing in English; and J. M. Coetzee, the South African Nobel prize winner who has sought to place himself in a European rather than African tradition, and has consistently rejected the idea of the political relevance of fiction. The seminar will analyse two of their most famous novels, comparing and contrasting them and exploring the possible intertextual connections between them. Additional material will include shorter fiction by Eskia Mphahlele, Amos Tutuola and Ben Okri.

Students should purchase the following books (preferably in the editions given here) and have read by the beginning of term:
*J. M. Coetzee, ''Disgrace'' (1999), New York: Vintage, 2000 (ISBN: 0099284820).
*Ngugi wa Thiong'o, ''A Grain of Wheat'' (1967), Oxford et al.: Heinemann, 1986 (African Writers Series, ISBN: 0435909878),
or: Ngugi wa Thiong'o, ''A Grain of Wheat'', London: Penguin Classics, 2002 (ISBN 13: 978-0-14-118699-3).

For initial background information you may consult the following: Owomoyela, Oyekan, ed. ''A History of Twentieth-Century African Literatures'', University of Nebraska Press, 1993. -- McLeod, John. ''Beginning Postcolonialism''. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2000. -- Allen, Graham, ''Intertextuality''. London: Routledge, 2001.
