==2007-10-29 - I have graded the papers for all my Courses in the Summer Term 2007==

All Papers submitted for courses in the Summer Term 2007 have been graded. You may pick them up or take a look at them in my office hours. (The same is true, of course, for the papers for courses in previous semesters.)

:'''NOTE: If you have not filled in and submitted whatever ''Schein'' or ''Bescheinigung'' you need me to sign, please do so. Otherwise the credits for your performance will not be put on the record.'''

==2007-11-09 - Staatsexamens- und Magisterklausuren Sept 2007==

Your exam papers have been marked and forwarded to the ''NILS''.

''Magisterklausuren'' have been sent on to the Magisterprüfungsamt, but will probably come back to me eventually, where you will be able to take a look into them. ''Magister'' candidates should submit the appropriate ''Schein'' to me to sign.

==Requirements==

Moin Anton! Da ich Dich basteln sehe - [[Aufbaumodul]], [[Mastermodul]], [[Abschlussmodul]], drei Links, die ich dieser Tage mit Dir gerne gefüllt hätte, in denen wir kurz festhalten sollten, was für uns die Requirements sind. Das wird man wohl je nach KP-Wunsch festlegen - manches steht in Stdienordnungen, anderes ist Ermessen des Dozenten... ich fänd's darum glücklich, wenn wir für uns entschieden, was wir als Standard und als Ermessensspielraum haben. Gruß (an der Vorlesung sitzend, doch weitgehend fertig...) --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 09:52, 12 November 2007 (CET)
Bin im Moment ganz anderweitig beschäftigt. Gruß udn bis bald [[User:Anton Kirchhofer|Anton Kirchhofer]] 09:58, 12 November 2007 (CET)

==The Theory of the Novel==
Lieber Anton. Hier ein [[Georg Lukacs, The Theory of the Novel (1920)|link]] zum angefangen Exzerpt. Werde morgen weiter daran arbeiten, den zweiten Teil fertig stellen, eine kürzere Zusammenfassung schreiben und die wichtigsten Zitate fett hervorheben.

:Unsere Tutoren erarbeiten den Wikipedia-Artikel [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novel Novel] - in dem es auch einige Bemerkungen zur Marktorddnung gibt, nur falls Du Bezüge suchst zu dem, was da Grundlage sein sollte. Der Artikel ist nich 100%ig meins, mich quält so, wie ich ihn in Zeug enden ließ, das da bereits stand, statt ihn weiter zu führen... Sieh ihn Dir doch bei Gelegenheit mal an, es könnte uns nutzen, uneingeschränkt auf ihn als unsere Position verweisen zu können. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 16:54, 26 November 2007 (CET)

ich bekam leider nicht heraus, wie ich den Scanner bei John Alistair vom Acrobat reader entkoppeln kann - mit einem Bildverarbeitungsprogramm wäre das Bild besser gekommen. Vielleicht kriegen wir das noch hin (im Internet gibt es das Bild nicht). Auch kann ich dem pdf-reder nicht sagen, wie rum das Bild gehört. Ich speichere ab, und er merkt sich nicht die von mir durchgeführte Drehung... --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 11:53, 11 December 2007 (CET)

Bilder historischer KL Aufführungen sind schlecht zu bekommen, indes geben sicher die Gemälde einen Eindruck davon, was man auf Bühnen wohl versuchte.

Sir Philip Sidney, Not at first sight (1591)

2007-10-18T08:35:43Z

Katharina Schneider: /* Text */

__NOTOC__
==Text==
Not at first sight, nor with a dribbling shot 
Love gave the wound, which while I breathe will bleed; 
But known worth did in mine of time proceed, 
Till by degrees it had full conquest got     
    I saw and liked, I liked but loved not; 
I lov'd, but straight did not what Love decreed. 
At length to love's decrees I, forc'd, agreed, 
Yet with repining at so partial lot. 
    Now even that footstep of lost liberty 
Is gone, and now like slave-born Muscovite 
I call it praise to suffer tyranny; 
    And now employ the remnant of my wit 
To make myself believe that all is well, 
While with a feeling skill I paint my hell. 

==First Edition==

Sir Philip Sidney. "Loving in Truth." ''Astrophel and Stella''. London: Thomas Newman, 1591.

The second part of our Basismodule focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. Please make sure that you are registered on Stud.IP.
You will find information relating to the courses on this page:

The texts for our courses will come from a pool offering a wide variety of material from which I will choose texts for the course. You should make sure to print and read the texts announced in class.

The "analytical tools" will be presented by the lectures (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.

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 Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" read in our course in an Arden Edition (ca. 14 EUR at the CvO bookshop).

[[BM1 Introduction to Literature, Aims and Requirements|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (in week 4, 7 and 10 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (due March 15 2008). The assignments are limited to a max. of 2-3 pages of text, formatted according to the 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 that describes your problem and your goal, and presenting a tentative table of contents and a short bibliography).

Tutorials will help you to practise your analysis skills and support you in doing your assignments and Research Paper Outline.

[[Category:Winter 2007-2008|2008-1]]

The second part of our Basismodule focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. Please make sure that you are registered on Stud.IP.
You will find information relating to the courses on this page:

The texts for our courses will come from a pool offering a wide variety of material from which I will choose texts for the course. You should make sure to print and read the texts announced in class.

The "analytical tools" will be presented by the lectures (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.

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 Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" read in our course in an Arden Edition (ca. 14 EUR at the CvO bookshop).

[[BM1 Introduction to Literature, Aims and Requirements|Course work]]: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (in week 4, 7 and 10 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (due March 15 2008). The assignments are limited to a max. of 2-3 pages of text, formatted according to the 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 that describes your problem and your goal, and presenting a tentative table of contents and a short bibliography).

Tutorials will help you to practise your analysis skills and support you in doing your assignments and Research Paper Outline.

#Analyse the communicative situation. Concentrate on form, length of individual speeches, interruptions and the domination of one speaker or idea.
#Bassanio's line "I like not fair terms and a villain's mind" (I,iii) is an example of a figural-explicit characterisation technique. List other ways of characterising figures and find examples in the play regarding the character of Shylock.

==Shakespeare, William: The Merchant of Venice - ACT I, iii ==

    ''Shy.''  Three thousand ducats, 'tis a good round sum. 
Three months from twelue, then let me see the rate 
    ''Ant.''  Well Shylocke, shall we be beholding to you? 
    ''Shy.''  Signior Anthonio, many a time and oft 
In the Ryalto you haue rated me 
About my monies and my vsances: 
Still haue I borne it with a patient shrug, 
(For suffrance is the badge of all our Tribe.) 
You call me misbeleeuer, cut-throate dog, 
And spet vpon my Iewish gaberdine, 
And all for vse of that which is mine owne. 
Well then, it now appeares you neede my helpe: 
Goe to then, you come to me, and you say, 
Shylocke, we would haue moneyes, you say so: 
You that did voide your rume vpon my beard, 
And foote me as you spurne a stranger curre 
Ouer your threshold, moneyes is your suite. 
What should I say to you? Should I not say, 
Hath a dog money? Is it possible 
A curre should lend three thousand ducats? or 
Shall I bend low, and in a bond-mans key 
With bated breath, and whispring humblenesse, 
Say this: Faire sir, you spet on me on Wednesday last; 
You spurn'd me such a day; another time 
You cald me dog: and for these curtesies 
Ile lend you thus much moneyes 
    ''Ant.''  I am as like to call thee so againe, 
To spet on thee againe, to spurne thee too. 
If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not 
As to thy friends, for when did friendship take 
A breede of barraine mettall of his friend? 
But lend it rather to thine enemie, 
Who if he breake, thou maist with better face 
Exact the penalties 
    ''Shy.''  Why looke you how you storme, 
I would be friends with you, and haue your loue, 
Forget the shames that you haue staind me with, 
Supplie your present wants, and take no doite 
Of vsance for my moneyes, and youle not heare me, 
This is kinde I offer 
    ''Bas.''  This were kindnesse 
    ''Shy.''  This kindnesse will I showe, 
Goe with me to a Notarie, seale me there 
Your single bond, and in a merrie sport 
If you repaie me not on such a day, 
In such a place, such sum or sums as are 
Exprest in the condition, let the forfeite 
Be nominated for an equall pound 
Of your faire flesh, to be cut off and taken 
In what part of your bodie it pleaseth me 
    ''Ant.''  Content infaith, Ile seale to such a bond, 
And say there is much kindnesse in the Iew 
    ''Bas.''  You shall not seale to such a bond for me, 
Ile rather dwell in my necessitie 
    ''Ant.''  Why feare not man, I will not forfaite it, 
Within these two months, that's a month before 
This bond expires, I doe expect returne 
Of thrice three times the valew of this bond 
    ''Shy.''  O father Abram, what these Christians are, 
Whose owne hard dealings teaches them suspect 
The thoughts of others: Praie you tell me this, 
If he should breake his daie, what should I gaine 
By the exaction of the forfeiture? 
A pound of mans flesh taken from a man, 
Is not so estimable, profitable neither 
As flesh of Muttons, Beefes, or Goates, I say 
To buy his fauour, I extend this friendship, 
If he will take it, so: if not adiew, 
And for my loue I praie you wrong me not 
    ''Ant.''  Yes Shylocke, I will seale vnto this bond 
    ''Shy.''  Then meete me forthwith at the Notaries, 
Giue him direction for this merrie bond, 
And I will goe and purse the ducats straite. 
See to my house left in the fearefull gard 
Of an vnthriftie knaue: and presentlie 
Ile be with you. 
Enter. 
    ''Ant.''  Hie thee gentle Iew. This Hebrew will turne 
Christian, he growes kinde 
    ''Bas.''  I like not faire tearmes, and a villaines minde 
    ''Ant.''  Come on, in this there can be no dismaie, 
My Shippes come home a month before the daie. 
Exeunt.

Assignment 2: Merchant of Venice

Please answer the following questions using complete sentences only!
Stick to the rules for assignments concerning layout etc. given on the style sheet!

1) Summarize the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice", ACT I, iii.
2) How does this excerpt relate to the rest of the play?
3) Analyse the communicative situation. Concentrate on form, length of individual speeches, interruptions and the domination of one speaker or idea.
4) Bassanio's line "I like not fair terms and a villain's mind" (I,iii) is an example of a figural-explicit characterisation technique. List other ways of characterising figures and find examples in the play regarding the character of Shylock.

Shakespeare, William: The Merchant of Venice - ACT I, iii

[...]

SHYLOCK.
Three thousand ducats; 'tis a good round sum.
Three months from twelve; then let me see the rate.

ANTONIO.
Well, Shylock, shall we be beholding to you?

SHYLOCK.
Signior Antonio, many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
About my moneys and my usances;
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For suff'rance is the badge of all our tribe;
You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog,
And spet upon my Jewish gaberdine,
And all for use of that which is mine own.
Well then, it now appears you need my help;
Go to, then; you come to me, and you say
'Shylock, we would have moneys.' You say so:
You that did void your rheum upon my beard,
And foot me as you spurn a stranger cur
Over your threshold; moneys is your suit.
What should I say to you? Should I not say
'Hath a dog money? Is it possible
A cur can lend three thousand ducats?' Or
Shall I bend low and, in a bondman's key,
With bated breath and whisp'ring humbleness,
Say this:--
'Fair sir, you spit on me on Wednesday last;
You spurn'd me such a day; another time
You call'd me dog; and for these courtesies
I'll lend you thus much moneys?'

ANTONIO.
I am as like to call thee so again,
To spet on thee again, to spurn thee too.
If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not
As to thy friends,--for when did friendship take
A breed for barren metal of his friend?--
But lend it rather to thine enemy;
Who if he break thou mayst with better face
Exact the penalty.

SHYLOCK.
Why, look you, how you storm!
I would be friends with you, and have your love,
Forget the shames that you have stain'd me with,
Supply your present wants, and take no doit
Of usance for my moneys, and you'll not hear me:
This is kind I offer.

BASSANIO.
This were kindness.

SHYLOCK.
This kindness will I show.
Go with me to a notary, seal me there
Your single bond; and, in a merry sport,
If you repay me not on such a day,
In such a place, such sum or sums as are
Express'd in the condition, let the forfeit
Be nominated for an equal pound
Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken
In what part of your body pleaseth me.

ANTONIO.
Content, in faith; I'll seal to such a bond,
And say there is much kindness in the Jew.

BASSANIO.
You shall not seal to such a bond for me;
I'll rather dwell in my necessity.

ANTONIO.
Why, fear not, man; I will not forfeit it;
Within these two months, that's a month before
This bond expires, I do expect return
Of thrice three times the value of this bond.

SHYLOCK.
O father Abram, what these Christians are,
Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect
The thoughts of others. Pray you, tell me this;
If he should break his day, what should I gain
By the exaction of the forfeiture?
A pound of man's flesh, taken from a man,
Is not so estimable, profitable neither,
As flesh of muttons, beefs, or goats. I say,
To buy his favour, I extend this friendship;
If he will take it, so; if not, adieu;
And, for my love, I pray you wrong me not.

ANTONIO.
Yes, Shylock, I will seal unto this bond.

SHYLOCK.
Then meet me forthwith at the notary's;
Give him direction for this merry bond,
And I will go and purse the ducats straight,
See to my house, left in the fearful guard
Of an unthrifty knave, and presently
I'll be with you.

ANTONIO.
Hie thee, gentle Jew.

[Exit SHYLOCK]

This Hebrew will turn Christian: he grows kind.

BASSANIO.
I like not fair terms and a villain's mind.

ANTONIO.
Come on; in this there can be no dismay;
My ships come home a month before the day.

[Exeunt]

== Hamlet ==

Hallo Olaf,

wann müsste ich morgen noch mal bei dir sein, wenn ich bei dem Hamlet-Treffen mitmachen möchte? Und sollte ich noch irgendetwas mitbringen, außer dem Buch? Der "Ich bin krank - bringt Suppe-Beitrag" ist doch nicht aktuell, oder?

Liebe Grüße,
Rebecca Polster

:Liebe Rebecca. Nichts ist mitzubringen. Ich werde irgendetwas kochen, wofür ich unverderbliche Vorräte habe (da man ja nie weiß, wie viele es sein werden). Ich selbst sollte mir noch eine Hamlet-Ausgabe ausdrucken, da ich sehen will, wie gut sich die Erstausgabe liest. Gruß, --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 13:32, 12 May 2007 (CEST) (Ach ja: es ist 16.00 - glaube nicht, daß wir Durch den ganzen Text durchkommen - obwohl - beim ''Merchant of Venice'' haben wir das geschafft... Mal sehen)

Nein, ich habe leider das Passwort nicht. Wie bekommt man solche Passwörter denn? Ich habe die Penguin Classics Ausgabe und hoffe einfach mal, dass die sonst auch reicht.

Rebecca, sei doch so gut und eröffne in diesem Wiki einen Account, dann kann ich Dir das Institutspasswort unter der Hand zukommen lassen. Einen html-Text nach der Erstausgabe stellte ich gerade unter http://www.pierre-marteau.com/editions/1603-hamlet.html zu Verfügung, der ist auch eine ganz brauhbare Fassung.

== Frage zum Assignment ==

Hallo Olaf, es fällt mir sehr schwer, die Antworten, meine vielen Ideen zu den Fragen auf nur 3 Seiten unterzubringen, zumal das Stylesheet so breite Ränder und einen großen Zeilenabstand vorsieht. Wäre eine vierte Seite noch vertretbar oder laufe ich dann Gefahr, dass meine Arbeit abgelehnt wird? Gruß Hilke
:kein Problem. Ich muß mich allenfalls mehr mit der Korrektur der 90 Arbeiten abmühen. Geduldig, --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 16:04, 14 May 2007 (CEST)

Hallo Olaf,
so, das Ding steht drin. Nur beim Editieren sollte mir vielleicht noch jemand helfen...gern auch bei der Formulierung der Fragen.
Lieben Gruß,
