Die allgemeine Modulbeschreibung des Prüfungsordnungsmoduls Vertiefungsmodul Cultural Studies finden Sie hier.

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

Successful completion of intermediary modules 4 and 5

Inhalt:

The advanced thematic seminar addresses key questions of American cultural studies by studying exemplary cultural phenomena. Possible fields of study:

• North American concepts of identity and alterity (categories of difference such as class, gender, ethnicity, nationality, age, or sexuality)

• Processes of stereotyping

• Popular culture and cultural practices generating hierarchies

• The spatial and temporal dimension of culture; constructions of space and place; memorial cultures of North America

• Transculturation, creolization, hybridization in North American cultures
  

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students further enhance their disciplinary competence in a second thematic field of current American cultural studies (recent research agendas); they practice their analytical skills in doing independent academic work: they write (and deliver) a short scholarly presentation and a final seminar paper. Further practicing their skills in close reading, contextualizing, evaluating and discussing literary sources, they arrive at a deeper understanding of the subject matter. In Independent Study, students gain academic proficiency and train their synthetic and evaluative skills for working on their master’s thesis.
