Cultural evaluation and reception of literary texts, processes of canonization
History of genre (forms and functions)
Literary and cultural memory
Ethics and aesthetics
Medial aspects of literary and cultural studies; changes in mediality, intermediality, the cultural impact of electronic media and digitalization
Transculturation, creolization, hybridity in North American literatures
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
Students acquire currency in a second thematic field within American literary studies and with relevance to contemporary research; they practice their ability to work critically and independently in compliance with academic standards, which they test by writing a short scholarly presentation and a final seminar paper. The Independent Study prepares students for their work towards a master’s thesis and trains them in academic methodology and argumentation.
