Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

Successful completion of basic modules 1 and 2

Inhalt:

The advanced thematic seminar introduces students to a central field of American cultural studies; it builds on systematic theoretical and historical knowledge acquired in module 1. The students apply previously acquired approaches and methods to exemplary case studies. The seminar addresses a variety of materials and cultural media (text, image, film); central topics include cultures of memory, national identity, identity and difference (race, class, gender) etc.
The Master seminar accompanies and complements the coursework of the seminar and deepens and expands students’ competence in contextualizing and evaluating cultural practices and material productions.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students develop disciplinary competence in a selected thematic field of North American cultural studies with a focus on U.S., Canadian, or Caribbean culture. They gain exemplary insight into forms and functions of cultural practices and productions from both a diachronic and a synchronic perspective. They develop their abilities for independent, critical academic work and research suited to their advanced Master’s level.
Students enhance their research skills and their abilities of self-organization. They practice presenting, defending, questioning, and modifying perspectives in historically, theoretically and methodologically informed arguments.
