'''Kim
The Structure of the Plot'''

We divided the book into three parts:
''Part 1'': Chapter 1-4
Kim becomes the Chela of the lama
''Part 2'': Chapter 5-10
Kim goes to school
''Part 3'': Chapter 11-15
Everything comes together

There are two main strands of the plot. On the one hand the lama's search for the river and on the other hand the Great Game.

Is there a spiritual and a materialistic plot?

'''Is the quest of the Red Bull the trigger for his other quests?'''

The quest of the Red Bull can be seen as a trigger for his further quests. If the Red Bull was Kim’s only quest the book would have had only five chapters. At the end of chapter five he finds the Red Bull and follows the Great Game. Also he joined the lama on his Spiritual Journey maybe for his own proposes but this is not explicitly said.

'''"MULK RAJ ANAND - UNTOUCHABLE (1935)"'''

structure:'''

1. Work at the latrines (page 9-35)

2. At the temple, 1st and 2nd insult (p.34-65)

3. Begging for food, 3rd insult (p.65-86)

4. At the wedding (p.86-100)

5. The Hockey Game, 4th insult (p.100-117)

6. Colonel Hutchinson (p.117- 132)

7. Gandhi's speech (p. 132-157)

- The book shows one day in the life of the protagonist Bakha

- The daily routine is the structural process of the protagonist

- The reader follows him during the day

- The book has no chapters

- We structured the book according to the main topics into 7 parts

- Our structure is only one possible division, there are others possible

'''SALMAN RUSHDIE - MIDNIGHTS CHILDREN (1981)'''

A general structure:

Book I: Family chronic before his birth (1915-1947)

Book II: His childhood/youth until the age of 18 (1974-1965)

Book III: Saleem as an adult (1965-1981)

The structure above focusses on the historical background and its connection to Saleem's (family) history. It is the most obvious one because it takes into account the tripartive division of the book. It rather goes along some major political breaks and shifts: Book I: India as a colony, from Gandhi's arrival to Independence; Book II: Independent India under Jawaharlal Nehru (died 1964); Book III: India under Indira Gandhi (1966-1977)

Are there any other ways of structurong the novel? Some ideas might include:

Geographical aspects:

Kashmir, Amritsar, Bombay, Pakistan, (and again) Bombay

Generations:

Aadam & Naseem

Amina & Ahmed

Saleem, Pravati, Shiva and the Children of Independence

Aadam and the children / generation of the state of emergency

'''What is his main goal? Does he follow the spiritual journey just to disguise himself for the Great Game?'''

It is difficult to say what his “main goal” actually is because everyone can read the story in a different way. Important here is how someone would interpret the importance of the Spiritual Journey or Kim’s participation in the Great Game. It is not obvious what seems to be more important for him(self).

'''''Group: Similarities and Contrasts in Kim and Untouchable'''''

'''Kim'''

- is not in a caste and therefore behaves freely

- is a part of colonialism as he is a native born English and takes
part in the Great Game.

- got his power through birth (being English and therefore being
independent of the caste system)

- uses his talents for his own purpose

- is open-minded towards: Mohammedans, Hindus, Buddhists

'''Bakha'''

- is trying to life like a British

- his whole life is influenced by colonialism as he admires the British
and their lifestyle and tries to imitate them

- is predominantly powerful in his job which nevertheless does not
influence other parts of his life

- works for the sake of his family

- is open-minded towards: Mohammedans, Hindus, Christians

- sweeper, lowest of the low- castes (p.89); is conscious of his position but not satisfied

- father Lakha, abuses him (12), respects him not least because of his tyranny (83)

- mother is dead (12)- burden of looking after the family on him (13)

- friends:Chota, Ram Charan

- had been working in the barracks of the British regiment; Bristish had treated him as human (9f.)

- wants to be educated (talk to the sahibs; 38)

- he is not allowed to go to school due to his caste (39)

- he also believes in Untouchability (52)

- cannot overstep the barriers between the castes (65)

- ambivalent love towards his sister (64)
→ brother-sister: would do everything to protect his sister like a brother
→ husband's love

- spirit of resignation due to centuries of outcaste ancestors (66)

- begs for bread (71)

- dislikes his home/town and flees into his own created English harmony (78)

- he feels self-pity (83)

-B. starts to feel unequal to his friends because of the insults (97)

- does not have a girlfriend; feels attracted to other girls (Ram Charan's sister, 88)

- likes to play hockey

- he has mood-swings because of his insecurity and lack of self-confidence

- he blames himself for everything that goes wrong (116)

'''Saleem'''

- First person narrator of the book

- finds himself in the centre of public attention from birth on

- desperately longing to “mean something” during his life

- goes through several distinctive phases or 'incarnations' throughout the book

--> his life is a microcosm of India's history

'''Questions'''

- are Kim and Bakha passive or active acting towards the national change?

- is their way of acting determined by the caste system?

- how does Kim feel about christianity? → no clear hints in
the book

'''Mulk Raj Anand "Untouchable"''' ''(Group: Impersonal narration and the ideology of the text: the representation of India and of Bakha's consciousness)''

'''Different possible solutions for Bakhas future or his escape from his untouchability:'''

1.)Christianity because when leaving Colonel Hutchinson he considers Jesus as good → does he take it as a serious option?

2.)technical innovation because Bakha listens carefully to the academics' talk, after Gandhi’s speech, who are discussing a drainage system. Considering this, Bakha is excited to
speak about this technical innovation to his father.

3.)Humanity because the topic evolves in the form of Gandhi (see point Humanity) with whom Bakha sympathizes

Lit-wiss: /* Narratology */

==Narratology==
*Hallo, Wir sind uns unschlüssig, ob sich Aufgabe eins auf den Auszug aus Kapitel 7 bezieht oder auf das gesamte Buch? Mathes Paulus

*Hallo, ich habe eine Frage bezüglich der ersten Aufgabe. Sollen wir den "type of narrator" nur auf den Punkt 1.3 des Handouts beziehen? Oder auch auch ''Narratology II'' ? Außerdem bin ich mir nicht sicher ob wir uns in Bezug auf das ''Narrative Level'' auf den gesamten Text beziehen dürfen, oder ob wir nur von der vorgegebenen Textstelle ausgehen dürfen.

*Ist bei Aufgabe eins das narrative level ebenfalls nur auf diese passage bezogen oder auf das gesamte Buch? Oder sollen wir uns ohnehin nur mit Punkt 1.3 auf dem Handout beschäftigen?

::Die Aufgaben 1-4 fragen Ihre Fähigkeiten im 'close reading' ab; sie führen letztlich auf Frage 5 hin, an welcher Stelle Ihre Kenntnis des gesamten Textes gefragt ist.

:::Das heißt also, ich blende bei Beantwortung der ersten Frage (auch hinsichtlich der Narrative Levels) komplett aus, das es im Preface z. B. Douglas gibt, und komme nur dann darauf zu sprechen, wenn ich bei Aufgabe 5 das Preface als zusätzliche Passage auswähle? Viele Grüße, Frederik Bockmann

==Critical Distance==
*Hallo zusammen, was ist mit "critical distance" in Aufgabe 4 gemeint? Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass das im Seminar angesprochen wurde. Vielen Dank im Voraus und schönen Gruß , Steffi Guhling

*Was genau ist bei Aufgabe vier mit „critical distance“ gemeint? Auf dem Handout steht dazu nichts und im Seminar haben wir es ebenfalls nicht behandelt.

::Stellen Sie sich die Frage, wie kritische Distanz aufgebaut werden kann, und wem gegenüber sie an der Stelle aufgebaut wird. Im alltäglichen Gespräch tun Sie dies durchaus auch: durch Kommentare, Humor, Ironie, indem sie die jeweiligen Sprecher und ihre Motivation hinterfragen etc. Hier haben wir uns im Seminar v.a. gefragt, wie es kommt, dass man als Leser an bestimmten Stellen stutzig wird.

Does anybody know who is addressed in line 12? (Does he mean the addressee or
does the speaker mean himself?)
And how are we supposed to write the metre and the rhyme-scheme down?
Maybe like in the handout that was given to us- in three steps?

Any idea who is meant by "they" in line 5?

==Questions on figurative speech==

What are "figures of speech" (task 2b) - only the tropes (metaphor,metonymy,...) or also alliteration and parallelism?
Greetings,
Lena

:To Lena: I think figures of speech are metonymy, synecdoche, allegory and symbols...you can look them up on the figurative speech handout

Talk:2009 BM2 Introduction to Anglophone Cultural Studies, Part 2

2009-07-08T09:04:37Z

Lit-wiss:

Dear Mr. Simons,

do we have to make a list of contents? How are we supposed to structure our assignment? Introdiction, main part, conclusion etc or just one coherent text (since it's an essay..)?

I have a question concerning the assignment.
Are we supposed to look for secondary literature on "The Intersting Narrative..." in general? Or do we have to come up with a certain question like we had for the RPO?
I did attend the last session on Monday, but still i don't know what to do.
Because the task in the wiki is different from what Mr. Simons told us.
It would be nice to have some further information on what we are actually supposed to do.

Thank you.

I do have the same problem. I am not sure how to start the whole process of researching. And I do have some problems with getting secondary literature from the 18th and 19th century. Especially because all the articles I found yet tell me that "Olaudah Equiano" raised attention back in the days when he published it and nowadays again!
I am getting frustrated and confused and there isn' t the time to have such feelings!!!
Therefore can anybody give me some advice???

-- Your difficulty with finding secondary literature from the 18th and 19th centuries may be that there isn't much... if you go through all the databases and the library and STILL can't find anything, then this is also something worth commenting on in your assignment, I think. As for how to start researching, there is a nice folder filled with secondary literature on StudIP that you can download and go through. Also, check the MLA database. JSTOR. Scholarly journals in the library, if you want to look into research that is older then we are. --A.G.

When we are doing the bibliography are we supposed to organise the different books and articles according to the authors names or the dates they were published? Because someone told us we should organize them chronologically!

Lecture BM1, Summer 2009: Round up

2009-06-23T10:52:58Z

Lit-wiss:

[[User:Sabine Gebken|Sabine Gebken]] writes:

I hope I am not too late to ask some questions for tomorrow’s session. There are four questions that came to my mind while I summed up the lecture.

The first question concerns the eighth lecture on Drama 1: ''Shakespeare''. On the last slide is said: “Be aware of the problematic aspects in the construction of the Elizabethan period”. I couldn’t remember to have heard anything of problems like that. So what are these problems like?
*(Maybe not all of these points were made explicitly in the original lecture, but:) Many of the received characteristics associated with the period were only put into connection with it much later, and they are part of a larger story told in retrospect, they do not necessarily reflect the perspective of the time (e.g. the Elizabethan world picture is a retrospective construction; the influence of the queen on her age may have been overestimated; Shakespeare was not seen as a central author of the time, but as a successful writer for the theatre.) [[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 11:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

The second question is on the second part of the drama topic. There is a slide that carries the headline “'''Contextualising the Country Wife'''”. The first four points repeat the development of theatre and the fifth says that the “Country Wife” responds to that position. For me it was not clear to what point of the development the “Country Wife” responds. And at least I did not really get how this “crazy” comedy responds to the conservative positions.

*If you want, it is a typical "Restoration Comedy" - fitting into the political context of the new court life Charles II established in London after his return in 1660. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 11:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

The next question concerns the same lecture and the slide with the title “The Early 18th century audience”. There is one point that says that there sat “'''Orange Wenches'''” in the audience. I couldn’t find anywhere what “Orange Wenches” are.

*Prostitution involved prostitutes ("strumpets", "whores"...) and "bawds", women who offered their services to lead you to prostitutes. Wench is (antiquated) derogatory for woman, "orange wench" a contemporary term referring to the women of whom you saw two on Hogarth's picture. They went through the theatre, sold fruits and asked young gallants whether they needed further services, contacts to prostitutes they could procure. If you stumble over such a word you have to check the OED (http://dictionary.oed.com/), accessible among the services the university offers. -[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 11:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

And my last question is again on the same lecture where is said that the 19th century sensational Naturalism had a tendency towards cinematic realism. This statement really confused me! I couldn’t get the connection between Naturalism. I understand the connection between '''Naturalism''' and Realism but what has it to do with '''cinema'''?

*They staged spectacular things like the accidents on board of a passenger ship on stage. You'd rather do that on screen in a movie, than on a stage. You can step from these performances into the age of movies. Theatre went a different way in the 1920s looking for what you would rather do on a stage than in a movie. - [[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 11:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
----
[[User:Daniel Sip|Daniel Sip]] added the following:

Could you recapitulate the Approaches of '''Structuralism and Post Structuralism'''?

*refer to the handout and the lecture and try to ask your question more specifically.

Is '''Formalism''' an author-orientated approach or context-orientated?!

* Typical formalist analysis has dealt with fairy tales and the different constellations and stages such a tale can involve (father bequeaths his heritage to three sons, the last one gets least but manages to do most with his gifts. The individual situations and tests reoccur in numerous variations in several fairy tales. Formalists schematised and labelled the different stages and options to analyse and describe. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 11:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

* it is neither; those who distinguish approaches by such categories would call it "text-oriented". --[[User:Anton Kirchhofer|Anton Kirchhofer]] 11:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

On the "History of Literature" session: Why did [[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] show us 18th century '''Literary Journals''' - was it just to show that such journals are different today?

*it was to show (1) that the things that were considered as literature are quite different from those that "we" consider as literature", and (2) that nevertheless, there is a long tradition in discussing literature (whatever it happened to be) --[[User:Anton Kirchhofer|Anton Kirchhofer]] 11:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

One of the slides read: "The International market of the '''belles lettres''' with fiction being part of the production of histories has been deconceptualized" What is meant with that and why did this "'''deconceptualisation'''" happen?

*There was a big market of belles lettres, elegant publications, histories were seen as part of that market (if elegant and written in modern languages). Fiction again was seen as part of the market of histories. Our 20th/21st-century vocabulary does not allow us to speak of texts in these contexts. We have "de-conceptualised" the words. Literature is a new context we have built and we tend to consider that this context always existed, i.e. that we always had national literatures consisting of play, fiction and poetry.

What is the difference between the "'''Belles Lettres'''", "'''Fiction'''" and "'''Literature'''"? How can I prove that the a text is part of the "Belles Lettres" or "Literature". What is meant with the statement that there is but one global concept of the "Belles Lettres"?

*One and the same text can be put into all three categories. Question is: when do you use which of these categories. If you want to discuss a novel you will speak about its literary merits, not about its ''belletristic'' merits. We speak of different national literatures if we want to speak of different national traditions. The belles lettres are seen as a single market of international entertaining texts, there is not even a plural to speak of English versus French belles lettres (as we do with the "literatures" Britain and France).

On "The early modern novel": The conflict between '''novels and romances''' - does it just mean that the English novel was a reaction on the French romance? The presentation seemed to prove that such a view is problematic...

*There are two rises of the novel, an 17th century rise and one constructed by Ian Watt, they refer to different texts and different developments. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 12:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

How does the publishing history and the reception of '''Robinson Crusoe''' fit in this conflict. ''Robinson Crusoe'' was not the typical English novel of this period, it rather showed aspects of a romance. Was this shown to prove a mistake in the Ian Watt thesis?

*Indeed ''Crusoe'' is a novel that will only fit into Watt's view, not into the early 18th century view. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 12:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

On the "English Novel in the 19th century" session: Could we take another look at the questions given there?

:*we can --[[User:Anton Kirchhofer|Anton Kirchhofer]] 11:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

What was meant with '''"Seriousness" and "Popularity"''' in this lecture?

*Much the same as today. "Seriousness" refers to the fact that critics take some fictions seriously enough to interpret them as important statements, e.g. on the condition of contemporary society, or on the larger human questions in general etc. - "Popularity" means that fictions are mainly 'consumed' as entertainment. --[[User:Anton Kirchhofer|Anton Kirchhofer]] 11:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Is there a relationship between the '''"circulating library"''' and the "rise of the novel"?
*circulating libraries only become widespread in the ninetenth century, i.e., a good deal after the period in which the various "rise of the novel" scenarios are set --[[User:Anton Kirchhofer|Anton Kirchhofer]] 11:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Friederike Tiemerding writes:

I have questions concerning the '''legitimate and illegitimate theatres''' under the Walpole's government. I thought that after the Licensing Act all plays had to undergo the censorship of Lord Chamberlain's so that just non-offending, legitimate plays did pass the censorship. Weren't those plays the only ones performed? So what exactly was the difference between those two types of theatres and what did illegitimate theatres show? Where their plays public or was it forbidden and therefore secret? What kind of audience attended these illegitimate theatres? Was there kind of a membership like with the Club Theatres alter on?

*The strict licensing applied to serious plays performed by the companies licensed to perform such plays. A second market existed for other kinds of (predominately) musical entertainment including melodramatic performances and a growing production of commercial entertainments. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 13:49, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Anne-Sophie Sauer asked [[User:Anton Kirchhofer|Anton Kirchhofer]]

ich habe eine Frage bezüglich des Tests und würde mich sehr freuen, wenn Sie mir die Frage beantworten können / dürfen. Ich interessiere mich für das Thema '''"the rise of the novel"''' und wollte mich vergewissern, ob man die verschiedenen Ansichten über die Entstehung des novels vom 17. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert bei der Question 2 untersuchen könnte oder ob der Zeitraum zu groß gewählt wäre. Sollte man sich nur auf ein Jahrhundert oder einen kleinen Zeitraum beziehen?

* In Question 2 sollen Sie sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten eines Zeitraums beschäftigen. "The rise of the novel" in seiner verschiedenen Varianten, ist nur ein solcher Aspekt (Sie bräuchten dann noch 2 andere Aspekte, die vorzugsweise aus anderen Vorlesungen stammen sollten.) Zur Länge des Zeitraums kann ich nur sagen, dass die konventionellen und vergleichsweise sicheren Varianten 1. ein Jahrhundert oder 2. eine Epoche sein werden. Alle anderen Zeiträume sind auch möglich, aber Sie müssen halt sagen können, was an dem Zeitraum und den 3 ihn betreffenden Aspekten literaturwissenscaftlich interesant sein könnte. --[[User:Anton Kirchhofer|Anton Kirchhofer]] 14:32, 18 June 2009 (UTC) (E-mail Kontakt)

Ich möchte nur kurz anmerken, dass ich mir Sorgen um die Zeit mache und zwar, weil es bedeutet, dass wir für 6 Abschnitte jeweils nur 10 Minuten Zeit haben. Ich frage mich, ob es wirklich möglich ist in der kurzen Zeit einen guten Text zu formulieren, der auch "perspectives" und "consequences" beinhaltet. Mit dieser Sorge bin ich auch nicht allein.

:Liebe Frau Wanger, Sie sollen nicht sechs Abschnitte bearbeiten. Sie sollen (Frage 1) ein Thema und (Frage 2) einen Zeitraum mit Erkenntnissen ansprechen.

*Ich meinte es so: Wir sollen uns ein Thema und einen Zeitraum suchen und dazu je "three distinct areas of factual knowledge" präsentieren (zu diesen sollen wir auch die "insights", "perspectives", "consequences" etc. formulieren). Deswegen hatte ich es 6 "Abschnitte" genannt. Zudem sollen wir auch noch "academically relevant reasons for choosing [the topic/ time period]" geben, was dann sogar quasi 8 "Abschnitte" macht. Deshalb mache ich mir Sorgen um die Zeit.

*Keep it simple! Wir müssen/sollten ja nur 2 Seiten pro Aufgabe schreiben, man kann und muss sich dementsprechend auf das Wesentliche konzentrieren und hoffen, dass das, was man als wesentlich ansieht, auch richtig, wichtig, schlüssig und passend ist. Man hat ja meist schon eine Idee dahinter, wenn man sich für ein Thema bzw. die Aspekte entscheidet. Und dann eben noch die perspective(s). Keine Panik, alles machbar. --[[User:Silke Haneborger|Silke Haneborger]] 08:46, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

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

2009-06-08T10:54:39Z

Lit-wiss: /* 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":'''
*Regular attendance (you may miss up to two meetings, whatever the reasons) and active participation
*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''':
*Regular attendance and active participation.
*A contribution to one of the "expert groups". Alternatively, you may join a group that produces short summaries of the seminar meetings which help you revise for the written exam.

Lit-wiss: /* Student Questions */

==Student Questions==

Wir sollen ja maximal 3-4 Seiten schreiben. Bezieht sich das auf den Fließtext, in dem wir erklären, warum und wie wir das Thema untersuchen würden und was dabei rauskäme oder gehören die Gliederung und die Bibliographie auch zu den 3 Seiten?

*Ist es auch möglich eine Frage wie die Rolle des Schwans in P. Kavanaghs Sonnet zu behandeln?
::An sich kann man jede Fragestellung behandeln. Dabei muss klar werden, ob es von Interesse ist dies zu tun. Welche Relevanz hat die Frage für die Forschung? Was ist der Erkenntnisgewinn? Gibt es darüber eine öffentliche Diskussion? Sollte es eine geben? Und wollen Sie eine solche Diskussion ins Leben rufen?
::''Ein'' Symbol in ''einem'' Sonett scheint etwas eng gegriffen. Kommt der Schwan in Kavanaghs Dichtung öfter vor? Welche Funktion hat dieses "Symbol"? Gibt es andere Elemente deren symbolische Interpretation problematisiert wird? Womöglich dient das Nachdenken darüber, sich mit der weiterführenden Frage zu beschäftigen (Vergleich mit anderen Gedichten). -- [[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]] 18:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

*Sollen wir denn auch eine Schlussfolgerung formulieren?
::Ohne einer Analyse, wird man keine Schlussfolgerung formulieren können. Wohl aber Hypothesen, die man mit der Fragestellung verbindet. --[[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]] 16:57, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

*Muss die Bibliography von dem RPO auch das Format 4cm und 3cm Rand und 1,5 cm Zeilenabstand haben? Dann würde sie bei mir nämlich über zwei Seiten gehen.
::An einer gut recherchierten, relevanten Bibliographieliste soll es nicht liegen. Im Fall eines Zweifels, zögern Sie nicht die jeweiligen Lehrenden zu fragen. --[[User:Anna Auguscik|Anna Auguscik]] 17:36, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

*Können wir für unser Research Paper auch "Learning to Curse" als Sekundärliteratur benutzen und wenn ja, wie sollen wir das in der Bibliographie angeben, da wir ja außer Titel und Autor keine Veröffentlichungsdaten haben?

::Ja, ihr könnt "Learning to Curse" für euer RPO verwenden. Alle Angaben für die Bibliographie findest du hier:

'''Assignment for Nov 12th'''

Here is a list of the fifty states. Please find one other person in the class and analyze the election results in two states. Your presentation (five minutes maximum!) should include some graphics (you can use my laptop and a projector or the overhead projector). Include who won and in which part of the state he received the most votes. You might also mention why you think the particular candidate did better or worse in some areas of the state.

And here are the instructions as to how to do this: First, you have to have already created an account (which you can do at the top righthand corner of the page)

Now click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page. Enter your names (first and last) next to the pair of states you will be looking at (If you just enter the following symbol <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> , this will automatically enter your name with a link to your user page. Very clever!):

By the way, does anyone know how to set tabs and columns without creating a table (so we don't have to use ... in order to create spaces?)?

2008 MM Origins of the Novel 1473-1700

*We 16 - 18,

*[[Mastermodul]] Klausurvorbereitend: English Literature

The modern novel is still generally seen as a production beginning in the period around 1700 – if Defoe was not its father, Aphra Behn, a generation earlier, had to be its mother. Traditionally a production of “romances” was believed to have preceded the early novel – French baroque romances the expert on English literature could dare to ignore.

The seminar will step into the territory before 1700 and look at the various beginnings offered here be it in the form of shorter prose stories (“novels” in the original sense of the word), of “romances”, or of more or less fictitious diaries and histories, of works of taste and of “low” entertainments.

A body of six texts will be discussed in group, individual research should use the debate to branch out into individual fields of interest.

==• 23.04.2008: The market of novels==
Where do we find the word, what does it signify? How does it relate to the ''novella''?

'''Tasks'''
*search The ESTC for the term novel, create an overview of the quantitative production. We can split this and look at centuries or half centuries and put the results together in joint work.
*take a look at Ian Watt's Rise of the Novel and get a gist of the argument. What does he say about the early market?

Fabian tried to access EEBO without a national license access code - which he could not outside the university web. We decided that I would give a link to a novel of my choice:

* ''The English monsieur a comical novel : wherein his travells, amours, and other passages of his life no less strange than delightful, are faithfully set down by an impartial hand : in four parts.'' London: Printed for William Cademan ..., 1679. [http://eebo.chadwyck.com/search/full_rec?SOURCE=pgimages.cfg&ACTION=ByID&ID=12083737&FILE=../session/1208538364_11897&SEARCHSCREEN=CITATIONS&SEARCHCONFIG=var_spell.cfg&DISPLAY=AUTHOR EEBO] [http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/anglistik/lit-wiss/intro-to-literature/d/1679-howard_james-the_english_monsieur.pdf Anglistik Server Oldenburg]

I choose it because it had a French touch and an English topic. You may read this as your preparation or any other novel you rather want to read and find in EEBO. Note: Your title has to bear the word "novel" oder "novela" or "nouvelle" (etc.) on the title page - and I will appreciate a short statement on what made you choose your novel out of the many. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 20:09, 21 April 2008 (CEST)

:--> I (Fabian) have made a choice; if you would like to read two texts or if you would like to read mine rather than the other, please look up the following novel at EEBO:

:* Aphra Behn: "The unfortunate bride, or, The Blind lady a beauty", 1700

That's the following [http://eebo.chadwyck.com/search/full_rec?SOURCE=pgimages.cfg&ACTION=ByID&ID=17891359&FILE=../session/1208801527_6935&SEARCHSCREEN=CITATIONS&SEARCHCONFIG=var_spell.cfg&DISPLAY=AUTHOR EEBO]-Link --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 20:14, 21 April 2008 (CEST)

*Compare Ian Watt on the Rise of the Novel with the preface to ''The Secret History, of Queen Zarah, and the Zarazians'' (Albigion, 1705) - which you will find in French, English and German contemporary versions at http://www.pierre-marteau.com/editions/1683-1712-novels.html
*Read either ''The English monsieur a comical novel : wherein his travells, amours, and other passages of his life no less strange than delightful, are faithfully set down by an impartial hand : in four parts.'' London: Printed for William Cademan ..., 1679. [http://eebo.chadwyck.com/search/full_rec?SOURCE=pgimages.cfg&ACTION=ByID&ID=12083737&FILE=../session/1208538364_11897&SEARCHSCREEN=CITATIONS&SEARCHCONFIG=var_spell.cfg&DISPLAY=AUTHOR EEBO] [http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/anglistik/lit-wiss/intro-to-literature/d/1679-howard_james-the_english_monsieur.pdf Anglistik Server Oldenburg]
*or read a "novel" (the word has to appear on the title page) of your choice from EEBO - and offer us a title page reproduction and a short summary.

'''Discussion'''
*What do our novels have in common?
*How do your observations relate to the preface of ''Queen Zarah'' and to Ian Watt's book
*Why should short novels be better than long romances?
*...more questions? Ask them here.

==• 7.5.2008: Rogue stories==
'''Group:''' Bastian Martens, Robert Stahlschmidt, Malte Maria Unverzagt, Iris Poller

Session: Discussion of Ian Watt's ''Rise of the Novel'' - and its problems.

==• 14.05.2008: Rogue stories==

'''Reading material for this session''': [[Rogue Stories Research Group]]

Those who went into the Rogue stories group will find first hints in my book p.525-28. The most important text (which cannot become a seminar reading in its entirety) is Richard Head's ''English Rogue'' (1665 ff.) See the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Head en.wikipedia]-article. More difficult to categorise are the reports on criminals which did also occasionally adopt the title of "rogue" stories. "Satirical romances" are a parallel genre - or the larger genre incorporating these stories...

'''Task'''
*The group should do some research on the ESTC to get an impression of how many of these books were produced between 1473 and 1700
*Each group member should choose a title of his or her interest and propose it as seminar reading. A Thesenpapier of ideas on the questions below would be welcome to feed the discussion.
*Course work: we split the English Rogue into sections of four chapters per person (everyone remembers his or her sections?) Fill in short notes on your chapters here [[Richard Head, English Rogue (1665)]]

'''Seminar debate'''
*What do these titles have in common? Is there a genre - or is it a mixture of crime cases and satirical romances? What does the research in our library say about these titles (see the Handapparat). In case you find secondary literature on the subject in MLA we do not have, tell me and I take care that the library buys them.

==• 21.05.2008: Chap books - the market of cheap books==
'''Group:''' Dorothee Keßler

One can find almost all types of 16th and 17th century fiction in prestigious and in cheap editions - chap books. A list touching all the different genres of cheap books can be found at the end of one of these books published in 1719: ''The Illustrious and Renown'd History of the Seven Famous Champions of Christendom'' (London: T. Norris/ A. Bettesworth, 1719).

Prepare the session with a look through the following four items (of which you will have seen one already) - with the exception of ''Don Bellianis'' they each of these items is shorter than a Hemingway short story:
*Smithson, Samuel. ''The famous history of Guy Earl of Warwick''. 1600.

London, [1713?]. 168pp [http://galenet.galegroup.com/servlet/ECCO?dd=0&locID=bis&d1=0000200200&srchtp=b&SU=All&c=1&d2=4&docNum=CW3314862839&b0=don+bellianis&h2=1&vrsn=1.0&b1=KE&d6=4&ste=10&d4=0.33&stp=Author&dc=tiPG&n=10&d5=d6 ECCO] I choose this edition as it is adorned with spectacular illustrations; read at least four pages to get an impression of style and plot design. The "List of Illustrations" gives you direct access to the wood cuts.
*R. H. ''The life and death of the English rogue'' 1679.

==• 28.05.2008: Pornography - if the term is appropriate==
'''Group:''' Sonja Büsing, Kendall K. Sadler, Marie-Catherine Bartels

Problem is here that the term "pornography" was not in use though we have stories we could put into the category. Some of the titles Inger Leemans listed for the Dutch market had English predecessors. I can provider Ingers dissertation - it is in Dutch. She also gave list on the web.

I still have not got any idea what you colleagues intended to as class reading. I propose you all take a tour through these books. Is there one title (published before 1740) among them you'd accept as pornography - and why? Do you find pornographic passages (Cleland is easy - yet I wonder about the other titles), why should one consider the passages or books you select as pornographic. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 20:45, 26 May 2008 (CEST)

How does the title compare to the titles we read that far?
What sympathies evolve?
Where were you surprised?

Question for those in the politics group:
What do we know about the "real history"? - Janet Todd gives you information here with her edition.

Reading for all: If you do not read Janett Todd's edition you might read my annotated html-version:

*[[Mastermodul]] Klausurvorbereitend: English Literature

The modern novel is still generally seen as a production beginning in the period around 1700 – if Defoe was not its father, Aphra Behn, a generation earlier, had to be its mother. Traditionally a production of “romances” was believed to have preceded the early novel – French baroque romances the expert on English literature could dare to ignore.

The seminar will step into the territory before 1700 and look at the various beginnings offered here be it in the form of shorter prose stories (“novels” in the original sense of the word), of “romances”, or of more or less fictitious diaries and histories, of works of taste and of “low” entertainments.

A body of six texts will be discussed in group, individual research should use the debate to branch out into individual fields of interest.

==• 23.04.2008: The market of novels==
Where do we find the word, what does it signify? How does it relate to the ''novella''?

'''Tasks'''
*search The ESTC for the term novel, create an overview of the quantitative production. We can split this and look at centuries or half centuries and put the results together in joint work.
*take a look at Ian Watt's Rise of the Novel and get a gist of the argument. What does he say about the early market?

Fabian tried to access EEBO without a national license access code - which he could not outside the university web. We decided that I would give a link to a novel of my choice:

* ''The English monsieur a comical novel : wherein his travells, amours, and other passages of his life no less strange than delightful, are faithfully set down by an impartial hand : in four parts.''

I choose it because it had a French touch and an English topic. You may read this as your preparation or any other novel you rather want to read and find in EEBO. Note: Your title has to bear the word "novel" oder "novela" or "nouvelle" (etc.) on the title page - and I will appreciate a short statement on what made you choose your novel out of the many. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 20:09, 21 April 2008 (CEST)

==• 7.5.2008: Rogue stories==
'''Group:''' Bastian Martens, Robert Stahlschmidt, Malte Maria Unverzagt, Iris Poller

Session: Discussion of Ian Watt's ''Rise of the Novel'' - and its problems.

==• 14.05.2008: Rogue stories==

'''Reading material for this session''': [[Rogue Stories Research Group]]

Those who went into the Rogue stories group will find first hints in my book p.525-28. The most important text (which cannot become a seminar reading in its entirety) is Richard Head's ''English Rogue'' (1665 ff.) See the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Head en.wikipedia]-article. More difficult to categorise are the reports on criminals which did also occasionally adopt the title of "rogue" stories. "Satirical romances" are a parallel genre - or the larger genre incorporating these stories...

'''Task'''
*The group should do some research on the ESTC to get an impression of how many of these books were produced between 1473 and 1700
*Each group member should choose a title of his or her interest and propose it as seminar reading. A Thesenpapier of ideas on the questions below would be welcome to feed the discussion.
*Course work: we split the English Rogue into sections of four chapters per person (everyone remembers his or her sections?) Fill in short notes on your chapters here [[Richard Head, English Rogue (1665)]]

'''Seminar debate'''
*What do these titles have in common? Is there a genre - or is it a mixture of crime cases and satirical romances? What does the research in our library say about these titles (see the Handapparat). In case you find secondary literature on the subject in MLA we do not have, tell me and I take care that the library buys them.

==• 21.05.2008: Chap books - the market of cheap books==
'''Group:''' Dorothee Keßler

One can find almost all types of 16th and 17th century fiction in prestigious and in cheap editions - chap books. A list touching all the different genres of cheap books can be found at the end of one of these books published in 1719: ''The Illustrious and Renown'd History of the Seven Famous Champions of Christendom'' (London: T. Norris/ A. Bettesworth, 1719). [http://galenet.galegroup.com/servlet/ECCO?dd=0&locID=bis&d1=0005901300&srchtp=b&c=1&SU=All&df=f&d2=163&docNum=CW3310550649&b0=Seven+Famous+Champions+of+Christendom&h2=1&vrsn=1.0&b1=KE&d6=163&d3=163&ste=10&stp=Author&d4=0.33&n=10&d5=d6 ECCO]

Prepare the session with a look through the following four items (of which you will have seen one already) - with the exception of ''Don Bellianis'' they each of these items is shorter than a Hemingway short story:
*Smithson, Samuel. ''The famous history of Guy Earl of Warwick''. 1600.

The "List of Illustrations" gives you direct access to the wood cuts.
*R. H. ''The life and death of the English rogue'' 1679.

==• 28.05.2008: Pornography - if the term is appropriate==
'''Group:''' Sonja Büsing, Kendall K. Sadler, Marie-Catherine Bartels

Problem is here that the term "pornography" was not in use though we have stories we could put into the category. Some of the titles Inger Leemans listed for the Dutch market had English predecessors. I can provider Ingers dissertation - it is in Dutch. She also gave list on the web.

I still have not got any idea what you colleagues intended to as class reading. I propose you all take a tour through these books. Is there one title (published before 1740) among them you'd accept as pornography - and why? Do you find pornographic passages (Cleland is easy - yet I wonder about the other titles), why should one consider the passages or books you select as pornographic. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 20:45, 26 May 2008 (CEST)

How does the title compare to the titles we read that far?
What sympathies evolve?
Where were you surprised?

Question for those in the politics group:
What do we know about the "real history"? - Janet Todd gives you information here with her edition.

Reading for all: If you do not read Janett Todd's edition you might read my annotated html-version:

The entire first volume published in autumn 1683 counted 344 pages - 12mo (duodecimo), that is the smallest format, with hardly any text printed on them. My html version counts 103 pages A4 (with massive margin using the firefox browser). You should manage to read 50 pages of the 103 pages your browser will produce, that is up to page 190 of the original pagination. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 18:33, 28 May 2008 (CEST)

__NOTOC__
==Course Description==
The historical novel is one of the classical subgenres of the modern novel. This course will introduce students to the beginnings and the early history of the genre. In the first half of the semester, we will read Walter Scott's Waverley (1814) and become familiar with the main characteristics of a genre which invites its readers to reflect on the relation in which their romantic past stands towards their current modernity. In the second half of term, we will encounter a set of shorter eighteenth-century texts which were also called 'historical novels', although they were not at all concerned with 'history' in the modern sense. We will analyse a selection of these texts, attempt to identify their generic features and examine their differences to the modern form. In doing so, we will also seek to understand the developments that led from one type of historical novel to the next.
By the beginning of term, students should have purchased and read Walter Scott, ''Waverley; or, 'Tis Sixty Years Since'', ed. Claire Lamont, Oxford World's Classics, Oxford University Press, 1998.
As introductory reading please consult the essays by Borgmeier and Trevor-Roper (cf. below, reading materials)

'''Course Requirements for credits as a Aufbaumodul:'''
#Regular attendance and active participation (you may miss up to two meetings, whatever the reasons).
#An oral presentation of ca. 20 minutes that will form the basis for your subsequent term paper (you present information and develop an argument that must allow you to formulate research questions concerning a particular text and topic, which will then be discussed by the seminar).
#Joining one of three 'expert groups'.
#A term paper (generally dealing with one or several of the issues raised in your oral contribution; length ca. 10 pages; deadline September 1, 2008).

NOTE:
*Fulfilling all four requirements successfully will earn you a total of six credit points towards your module (6 KP)
*Fulfilling only the first three requirements will earn you a total of three credit points towards your module (3 KP). [For students who plan to take 3 KP it is especially important to be active in an 'expert group'.]

#What does Borgmeier say about Scott's models, and about the tradition of the historical novel?
#What are the characteristic ways of referring to real historical events and real historical persons, according to Borgmeier?
#At what points does Borgmeier simply present information, and at what points does he engage in a critical debate about the interpretation of the text?
#Can you see any problems that Borgmeier's essay might raise for the context of our seminar?

2008 MM The Figure of the Governess in Victorian Culture and 19th Century

2008-04-22T09:40:25Z

Lit-wiss: /* 19.06.2008 */

* '''Time:''' Thursdays 10-12 am

==Course Description==

This course will link the problematic figure of the governess in nineteenth-century culture to the numerous nineteenth-century fictions which takes governesses as their heroines. The governesses' precarious social position and their role as 'home educators' place them at the centre of unsolved issues in family structures, gender relations and gender differentiation in education. The course will thus introduce students to the main issues and developments in nineteenth-century education and nineteenth-century constructions of gender, and invite them to analyse the use which some of the major fictions of the nineteenth century make of this problematic figure. By the beginning of term, students should have purchased and read the following three novels.
*Anne Bronte, ''Agnes Grey'', ed. R. Inglesfield and H. Marsden, Oxford World's Classics, Oxford University Press, 1998. (c. 6-7 EUR, see note below!)
*Charlotte Bronte, ''Jane Eyre'', ed. Steve Davies, Penguin Classics, Harmondsworth: Penguin, 2006. (c. 8-9 EUR)
*Henry James, ''The Aspern Papers AND The Turn of the Screw'', ed. Anthony Curtis, Penguin Classics, London: Penguin, 1986. (c. 8 EUR)

'''Requirements for candidates for the Staatsexamenklausur:'''
#Regular attendance and active participation.
#An oral presentation of ca. 20 minutes that will allow you to practice collecting, selecting and focusing information and textual analysis, as you will be asked to do in the written exam (you present information and develop an argument that must allow you to formulate research questions concerning a particular text and topic, which will then be discussed by the seminar). Alternatively, you may join a group that produces short summaries of the seminar meetings which help you revise for the written exam.

==Course Description==

This course will link the problematic figure of the governess in nineteenth-century culture to the numerous nineteenth-century fictions which takes governesses as their heroines. The governesses' precarious social position and their role as 'home educators' place them at the centre of unsolved issues in family structures, gender relations and gender differentiation in education. The course will thus introduce students to the main issues and developments in nineteenth-century education and nineteenth-century constructions of gender, and invite them to analyse the use which some of the major fictions of the nineteenth century make of this problematic figure. By the beginning of term, students should have purchased and read the following three novels.
*Anne Bronte, ''Agnes Grey'', ed. R. Inglesfield and H. Marsden, Oxford World's Classics, Oxford University Press, 1998. (c. 6-7 EUR, see note below!)
*Charlotte Bronte, ''Jane Eyre'', ed. Steve Davies, Penguin Classics, Harmondsworth: Penguin, 2006. (c. 8-9 EUR)
*Henry James, ''The Aspern Papers AND The Turn of the Screw'', ed. Anthony Curtis, Penguin Classics, London: Penguin, 1986. (c. 8 EUR)

Lit-wiss: Novel for the 23rd April 2008

==Course outline==
As this will be a [[Master Module]] I intend to offer you some freedom of - guided - research. [http://eebo.chadwyck.com/home ECCO] is freely available on campus, I myself will give hints, yet I would appreciate if participants formed groups to investigate different fields.

Seminar sessions should
*deal with search results
*lead to discussions of individual texts our groups can present
*include short presentations of important secondary literature

Use this page if you already want to grab a topic. --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] 17:40, 25 February 2008 (CET)
