Inhalt:
The module will further develop the engagement with current concepts in
cultural theory by applying them to a core topic in British Cultural Studies.
Possible core areas are:
• concepts of representation and difference; including constructions
of identity and alterity through categories like class, gender,
ethnicity, nationality, regional belonging, religion, age and sexual
orientation;
• the cultural dimensions of space and time, constructions of centre
and periphery, of cultural history, cultural memory, and cultural
‘heritage’;
• mediality and intermediality; cultural discursivity;
• cultural canons; high and popular culture; high pop, etc.
In class (an Advanced Seminar), this core topic is contextualized, critically
evaluated from different perspectives, and discussed. In a period
of supervised self-directed study/reading assignments, students approach
the topic with a narrower, individual focus. They will work on the
critical concepts and terminology they use in their research; explore the
contexts of their object of study, and read up on current and significant
older scholarship conducted in the field. Students are closely monitored
and assisted in this process.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
The aim of the module is to enable students to apply independently, but
with supervision, current critical concepts and methods in Cultural Studies
to a core topic. This will also enhance their skills in the following areas:
• Subject and Practical Skills: Theories and methods are illustrated,
applied and problematized by reference to a single core topic
in English Studies – both in the context of group work (seminar)
and independent study.
• Intellectual Skills: In the application of methods and theory, a focus
is on the critical reflection of academic description and analysis.
