    (Masterseminar, 3 SWS, Anwesenheitspflicht, Christian Krug, Thu, 16:15 - 19:00, C 601)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

Students should have completed the Core Module Culture before beginning this module. (übernommen aus dem Prüfungsordnungsmodul Master Module I: Culture)

Inhalt:

The Master-Course is designed to provide a very detailed examination, contextualization and discussion of:

• either a group of discourses from selected cultural fields (e.g. the arts, science, politics, religion, etc.) that have been filtered through various media and institutions – and the theoretical con-cepts and methods needed for their analysis

or

• a theoretical concept, approach, or critical theory – and its (histor-ically specific) application
  

At this stage of their degree programme, students will be expected to conduct substantial amounts of independent and self-reliant work in the seminar. They will also learn to present and defend the findings of their research.
In the second course, a seminar, students will read and discuss current scholarship from the relevant field. This course also enables students to further improve their language skills in the form of advanced conversa-tion and presentation skills. The seminar includes a presentation of an academic paper in the context of a student conference or a workshop, with discussion.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

In this module students continue their work on core topics in (British) Cultural Studies. The emphasis is now firmly on independent application and research. In the first of the two Master Modules (Master Module I) students will first and foremost improve their oral communication skills. They carry out independent research and present, discuss, and defend their findings in a key academic format: a presentation on a panel in a conference setting, with discussion.

Students particularly improve their skills in the following areas:

• analytical and methodological thinking – students critically reflect on methods of cultural analysis and description

• presentation skills, particularly oral presentations in a formal academic setting
