Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:
Successful completion of intermediary modules 4 and 5
Inhalt:
The advanced thematic seminar introduces students to a
second exemplary field of American literary studies,
addressing e.g.
literary discourse viewed through the lense of theoretical approaches,
the history of genre,
literary rewritings and spinoffs,
cultural evaluation and reception of literary texts as well as processes of canonization,
intermediality and the impact of medial transformations on modes of writing,
ethics and aesthetics,
literature and the sciences,
registers of knowledge production,
cultures of memory,
identity constructions across various differences (ethnicity, race, class, gender and sexual orientation) and processes of transculturation.
Accompanied by independent study resulting in the
presentation of a short oral paper, Module 8 strengthens
students’ increasingly self-directed research in American
Studies.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
Students further enhance their disciplinary competence in a
second thematic field within American literary studies relevant
to recent research. Further practicing their skills in close
reading, contextualizing, evaluating and discussing literary
sources, they reach an analytic and synthetic understanding of
scholarly discourse. On their way towards a master’s thesis,
students solidify their ability to assess and evaluate sources
critically and independently in compliance with academic
standards, both orally and in writing.
