STUDIENPROGRAMMLEITUNG

Die Studienprogrammleitung ist für die Planung des Lehrangebots, die Organisation des Studienbetriebs und qualitätssichernde Maßnahmen zuständig. Die Studienkonferenz, die je zur Hälfte aus Lehrenden und Studierenden zusammengesetzt ist, hat in diesen Bereichen beratende Funktion. Studienrechtliche und studienorganisatorische Aufgaben, fallen in die Zuständigkeit des vom Rektor ernannten Studienprogrammleiters (SPL) Ao. Prof. Dr. Rudolf Weiss und der Vize-Studienprogrammleiterin Mag. Barbara Olsson. Insbesondere können Sie sich in folgenden Fragen an die Studienprogrammleitung wenden (egal, ob Sie ein Diplom- oder Lehramtsstudium betreiben):

• Doktoratsstudium (ao. Prof. Dr.Weiss) • Nostrifikationen (ao. Prof. Dr. Weiss) • Fragen betr. Studienplanwechsel (Mag. Olsson) • Anrechnung von Vor- und Auslandsstudien mittels Bescheid (Mag. Olsson) • Freie Wahlfächer (Mag. Olsson)

FEHLSTUNDENREGELUNG In Lehrveranstaltungen mit 3 und solchen mit 2 Semester-Wochenstunden ist es erlaubt, 3 Einheiten zu fehlen, in LVA mit 1 Semester-Wochenstunde 2 Einheiten. In besonders begründeten Ausnahmefällen liegt es im Ermessen der Lehrveranstaltungsleiter, 1 weitere Fehleinheit zu gewähren.

WARNUNG

Aus gegebenem Anlass weise ich die Studierenden darauf hin, dass Plagiate mit einem ‚nicht genügend’ und mit dem Ausschluss aus der Lehrveranstaltung geahndet werden. Es ist eine gesamtuniversitäre Regelung in Ausarbeitung, die weitreichendere Konsequenzen – bis zum Ausschluss vom Studium an der Universität Wien – vorsieht. Bei schriftlichen Arbeiten sind sämtliche Quellen (natürlich auch solche aus dem Internet!) genau anzugeben und Zitate gewissenhaft zu markieren. Ao.Prof.Dr.Rudolf Weiss, SPL

DIPLOMPRÜFUNGEN Ich erinnere daran, dass in der vorlesungsfreien Zeit nur sehr eingeschränkt mündliche Diplomprüfungen abgehalten werden. Im Sommer wird bis Mitte Juli und ab der letzten Septemberwoche geprüft. Im Februar werden Termine nur ausnahmsweise angeboten. Ich bitte die DiplomandInnen um Verständnis für diese Regelung. In der vorlesungsfreien Zeit befinden sich viele PrüferInnen auf Forschungsaufenthalten, besuchen Konferenzen oder sind einfach auf Urlaub. Ao. Prof. Dr. Rudolf Weiss, SPL Sämtliche Informationen zur Diplomprüfung, sowie zur Fachprüfung im Lehramtsstudium entnehmen Sie bitte dem Wegweiser zum Anglistikstudium (erhältlich im Zentralsekretariat).

DIPLOMZEUGNISSE Die Unterlagen für das 1. Diplomzeugnis (Diplomfach und Lehramt) und für das 2. Diplomzeugnis Lehramt Anglistik Zweitfach werden bei uns am Institut eingereicht. (2. Diplomzeugnis Anglistik Erstfach bitte gemeinsam mit der Diplomarbeit ans Prüfungsreferat!) Bitte bringen Sie folgende Unterlagen mit: • sämtliche Studienbuchblätter • Lehrveranstaltungszeugnisse • eventuelle Bescheide (z.B. Fächerkombination, Anrechnungen) • ausgefülltes Formular (bitte aus dem Kuvert an der Anschlagtafel „Studienberatung“

entnehmen) Einreichen können Sie im Zentralsekretariat zu den Öffnungszeiten. Bei Fragen, Unklarheiten etc. wenden Sie sich bitte an Monica Dirnberger. Abzuholen sind die Zeugnisse dann ca. drei Wochen später am Prüfungsreferat.

FREIE WAHLFÄCHER (Diplomstudium) Die freien Wahlfächer sind vor Beginn des 3. Studiensemesters auf den vorgesehenen Formularen bekanntzugeben bzw. zu beantragen (Studierende, die vor dem WS 04 mit dem Diplomstudium nach neuem Studienplan begonnen haben, müssen das Formular bis spätestens 30.November 05 abgeben). Formulare sind im Vorraum des Zentralsekretariats (Pinnwand vor dem Lektorenzimmer) zu entnehmen. Bitte befolgen Sie die Anleitung zum Ausfüllen des Formulars!!

spl.univie.ac.at/wahlfaecher wo Sie auch Formulare herunterladen können.

ÜBERGANGSFRIST NEU Die Bestimmung, wonach der Abschluss des ersten Studienabschnitts nach dem alten Studienplan nur bis 30. April 2005 möglich ist, wurde vom Senat der Universität Wien ersatzlos aufgehoben. Die Übergangsfrist für das Diplomstudium und das Lehramtsstudium Anglistik und Amerikanistik endet jedenfalls mit 30. November 2008.

HOMEPAGE Dr. Stephen Ferguson hat mit großem Einsatz und erheblichem Arbeitsaufwand unsere homepage (www.univie.ac.at/anglistik) gestaltet.

Die StRV stellt sich vor... Wir, die Studienvertretung, vertreten – wie der Name schon sagt – die Interessen der StudentInnen an unserem Institut. Seit den letzten ÖH-Wahlen im Mai/Juni 2005 ist das momentane Team gewählter VertreterInnen im Amt. Zusammen mit anderen engagierten StudentInnen nutzen wir so viele Gelegenheiten wie irgend möglich um Wünsche der StudentInnen an unserem Institut einzubringen. So stellen wir die Hälfte der Mitglieder in der Studienkonferenz, um die Interessen der StudentInnen bei der Gestaltung der Lehre so gut wie möglich zu vertreten. Wir sind aber auch in der Arbeitsgruppe an der Erstellung des Bakkalaureatsstudienplanes beteiligt. Weiters sind wir in unseren Journaldiensten für alle da, die Hilfe und Rat brauchen oder einfach nur nett plaudern wollen. Im Rahmen der Inskriptionsberatung, des Erstsemestrigentutoriums, der Betreuung des Kopierers, des Anglistik-Stammtisches und der Organisation von Festln tun wir was wir können! Besonders möchten wir euch auf das Anglistikforum aufmerksam machen, zu dem ihr einen Link auf unserer Homepage findet. Wir wünschen euch einen guten Start ins neue Semester und viel Spaß auf der Anglistik & Amerikanistik. Zu finden sind wir im Kammerl im 1. Stock rechts. Homepage: http://www.univie.ac.at/strv-anglistik. Tel. 01/4277-19681, email: strv.anglistik@blackbox.net, Ankündigungen zu Sprechstunden und JourFixe, zu dem ihr alle herzlich eingeladen seid, findet ihr vor unserem Kammerl.

PERSONALMITTEILUNGEN Pensionierung Patricia HÄUSLER-GREENFIELD Pat Häusler-Greenfield, MA., tritt nach vielen Unterrichtsjahren in den Fächern Sprachkompetenz und Cultural Studies mit Beginn des Wintersemesters in den Ruhestand. Ao.Prof. Seidl drückt im folgenden, sehr persönlichen, Beitrag stellvertretend für die Kollegenschaft jene Gefühle von Sympathie, Respekt und Dankbarkeit aus, die wir für Pat empfinden. Wir wünschen unserer langjährigen Kollegin (durch deren Schule viele von uns gegangen sind) alles erdenklich Gute für den neuen Lebensabschnitt! Patricia Ann Häusler, nee Greenfield, has excelled in whatever she has done throughout her professional career. She started her university life as a prize-winning scholarship student at Girton College, Cambridge, where she graduated with a First Class Degree in Modern and Medieval Languages under Raymond Williams. Then came a period of four years outside university, when Pat worked in the then cutting-edge profession of systems analysis(logistics and computing) with Shell Mex and BPLtd., London. This was followed by a move to Germany where she taught at the Städtische Schulen, Bamberg and was developing teaching material for the Centre for British Teachers. In 1970 she took a Diploma in Applied Linguistics under John Lyons and Henry Widdowson in Edinburgh and started to work as a London-appointed Education and English Language Officer for the British Council Austria and got her first Lehraufträge at the Institut für Anglistik and Amerikanistik.

10

From that point on, a total of 35 years, Pat has selflessly devoted all her energy and strength to her work for the department. During this time she extremely successfully conceived, launched and carried out various other projects: she was a teacher trainer for the PI, the BMUK and the British Council; together with her husband Klaus Häusler she co-authored a 14 volume text-book series, she worked free-lance for the ORF (radio), served as president of TEA and was chief editor of ELTNews and research coordinator of the SOCRATES/LINGUA A Project ROMEO. Despite all these achievements she has put most of her imaginative powers, her vigour, vitality and force into her departmental duties. She has masterminded, initiated and set-up a language programme which has drawn students to Vienna from far and wide. Her Friday 8 o’clock cultural studies lecture was always well attended despite the early hour and her meanwhile legendary Friday afternoon sessions were truly inspiring for everyone who was there, and triggered an interest in the study of culture in many a student. However, the new curriculum, which introduced new types of classes into the language programme, almost doubled her workload. The time has come now when she can no longer master the burden and she has wisely decided to retire. Pat will be sorely missed. We’ll all be at a loss without her, we, your students, your colleagues and your friends. You’ll leave a gap no one can fill, you’ve set standards no one can aspire to, you’ll live on in the work of those you’ve taught, who will pass on your very special torch of wisdom and enthusiasm to generations to come. Stellenbesetzungen: Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Prof. Werner HUBER (bisher Univ. Chemnitz) die vakante Professur nach der Pensionierung Prof. Rauchbauers übernommen hat. Er wird in der Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft unserem Lehrangebot neue Impulse geben und wir sehen einer spannenden Zusammenarbeit entgegen. Dr. Liselotte POPE-HOFFMANN, vielen Studierenden bereits aus Lehrveranstaltungen in den Bereichen Sprachkompetenz, Fachdidaktik und Gender Studies bekannt, wird Pat Häusler-Greenfield auf deren Posten nachfolgen. Wir freuen uns, dass sie ihr Engagement für das Institut intensiviert und wünschen ihr viel Energie zur Bewältigung der vor ihr liegenden Aufgaben. Wir begrüßen als Gäste Herrn Hon.Prof. Werner ABRAHAM (Emeritus Univ. Groningen) und Frau Prof. Gabriella MAZZON (Neapel) im Bereich Linguistik. Ein herzliches Welcome Back! an Prof. Mazzon, die wir bereits im WS 04 als Kollegin schätzen gelernt haben. Fulbright-Gastprof. Nancy HARGROVE (Mississippi State University), die das amerikanistische Lehrangebot mit interessanten Kursen bereichert. Wir danken Prof. Keith BROWN (Cambridge University) für seine linguistischen Lehrveranstaltungen im Sommersemester 05, und ganz besonders dafür, dass er als Einspringer im letzten Moment das linguistische Lehrangebot gerettet hat. Prof. Eckart VOIGTS-VIRCHOW, Giessen, für seine innovativen Beiträge im Bereich der Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften, die zwei Semester lang auf großes Interesse gestoßen sind.

11

Wir gratulieren sehr herzlich zur Habilitation: Christiane DALTON-PUFFER hat sich am 30. Juni für Englische Sprachwissenschaft habilitiert und wird insbesonders durch ihren Forschungsschwerpunkt Sprachlehrforschung zur Profilierung unseres Instituts in Forschung und Lehre beitragen. Zur Promotion: Melanie FERATOVA-LOIDOLT und Ursula KLUWICK haben im Bereich Literaturwissenschaft und Julia-Isabel HÜTTNER hat in der Linguistik ihre Dissertation erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Forschungsprojekt: Ao.Prof. Barbara SEIDLHOFER konnte für das Forschungsprojekt VOICE (Vienna Oxford International Corpus of English) die finanzielle Förderung des Wissenschaftsfonds sicherstellen und damit drei ambitionierten jungen AnglistInnen die Mitarbeit an diesem Projekt ermöglichen: Mag. Angelika BREITENEDER (DW 42446), Mag. Marie-Luise PITZL (DW 42446) und Stefan MAJEWSKI (DW 42447). Rückkehr aus der Karenz: Dr. Astrid FELLNER kehrt nach zweijährigem, durch ein Erwin-Schrödinger-Stipendium ermöglichten Forschungsaufenthalt in den USA an ihren Arbeitsplatz zurück. Ao.Prof. Eva MÜLLER-ZETTELMANN hat für November ihre Rückkehr aus der Mutterschaftskarenz angekündigt. Wir freuen uns, dass sie ab dem Sommersemester ihre Lehre wieder aufnimmt. Wir verabschieden uns von Mag. Evelyne GOGER und Mag. Kerstin VRABLITZ, deren Arbeitsverträge im Bereich der Literaturwissenschaft leider auslaufen. Im Zentralsekretariat verlässt uns zu unserem großen Bedauern Martina MOESSNER, die uns sehr unterstützt hat. Wir danken ihr sehr herzlich für ihr Engagement und wünschen ihr viel Erfolg und Freude bei ihrem Auslandsstudium in den USA. Wir begrüßen als neue MitarbeiterInnen in der Lehre Mag. Armin BERGER, Ruth DONALDSON BA., Mag. Diana KARABINOVA, Mag. Thomas MARTINEK (alle im Bereich Sprachkompetenz) Mag. Barbara STEFAN (Fachdidaktik) Dr. Catherine PARAYRE (Gender Studies) Doz. Klaus PUHL (Interdisziplinäre Forschung)

1. STUDIENABSCHNITT PART I (COURSES FOR 1st DIPLOMA EXAMINATION)

SPRACHKOMPETENZ/LANGUAGE SKILLS

Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen, p.15 ff. The language courses are based on the assumption that you have already done English up to Austrian ‘Matura’ level or the equivalent. In other words, you are already more or less ‘Independent Users’ of English (cf Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, B2). By the end of Part I you should be approaching a level that has been described as ‘Effective Operational Proficiency’. This means that you should have relatively little difficulty in using the English language for most personal, public or educational purposes. You will be able to use the language both receptively and productively, in speech and in writing, with due regard for relevant features of context, situation and addressor / addressee. In addition, you will have a good grasp of the nature and structure of the language and its systems. Finally you should have attained a level of learner autonomy which will enable you to continue to develop your language and communication skills independently in the future.

You are strongly recommended to take the Language Analysis lecture course (101) and the practical class (102) in conjunction with each other. Courses 111 through 114 form a coherent whole and must be taken in sequence. Language Analysis (VO and VK) and Integrated Study Skills 1 count as part of the Studieneingangsphase.

The Language Analysis Component 101 VO, 102 VK

This component of your studies comprises the lecture course as well as the accompanying practical class (VK). You are strongly recommended to take the lecture course and the practical classes in conjunction with each other (in the 1st semester), as the two are closely linked: the lecture provides the necessary input, which is further discussed and practised in the smaller practical classes. Your aims for the lecture and the practical class will be as follows: You will be able to - identify and name the individual parts of syntactic structures (using standard terminology) - talk informedly about key grammatical categories and explain their use in a given context - recognise and rectify common errors - make independent and judicious use of reference books As such the Language Analysis Component provides an important foundation for both language classes (Integrated Language and Study Skills, Language in Use) and linguistics courses. Materials: There is a common handout for both lecture course and practical classes. Please pick it up from CopyStudio, Schwarzspanierstr. 10, in the first week of the semester.

27

Assessment: Lecture and practical classes will be assessed separately - Lecture: final test - Practical classes: regular attendance & class participation, two assignments, final test Studierende, die ein positives Zeugnis über diese Lehrveranstaltung benötigen, um im DARAUF FOLGENDEN Semester ein Proseminar, Sprachgeschichte oder Introduction to Language Teaching I zu besuchen, MÜSSEN zum ersten Prüfungstermin (in der letzten Sitzung des Semesters) antreten. Aus organisatorischen Gründen können Ergebnisse aus dem zweiten Prüfungstermin NICHT BERÜCKSICHTIGT werden.

111, 112: Integrated Language and Study Skills 1 and 2 (ILSS 1 & 2)

3st, UE, p.A. Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen, p.15 ff.

Orientation: A standardised test will be administered to all students at the beginning of ILSS 1. Your score will indicate whether you are proficient enough in English to cope with the language demands of English and American Studies. This score will NOT form part of your official academic record. ILSS Aims: - to upgrade your language and study skills, thereby providing support in an English-medium

teaching environment - to encourage you to develop independent study habits (with regard to grammar, usage and

vocabulary) - to identify and address possible deficiencies in your language competence Outcomes: You should be equipped to meet the language demands of your courses in literature, linguistics and cultural and regional studies. Should the occasion arise, you would probably be able to

28

follow higher education courses in the English-speaking world (in fields familiar to you) or work in some English-medium contexts without undue strain. Focus: - study and research skills - learning strategies - language awareness - vocabulary development - reading and writing skills and sub-skills - recognising and remedying errors in the use of the language system in writing and speaking - introduction to formal / informal distinction, levels of formality and the concept of

appropriateness Assessment: This will include attendance, active participation, class work, homework assignments and written tests on material covered. There is a Common Final Test (CFT) at the end of ILSS 2, modelled on the requirements for the International English language Testing System (IELTS), Academic Module.

Toolkit You are strongly advised to invest in books which will assist your learning. Your teachers will present various dictionaries and handbooks which, as students of English, you should possess and make frequent use of. The recommended books are available for consultation in the Library. Courses: 111 Eva Arnoldner, Mon 16-18, Mi 18-19, Room 1 (ab 10.10.) Leigh H. Bailey, Tue 16-18, Thu 16-17, Room 1 (ab 11.10.)

2st, UE, p.A. Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen, p.15 ff.

The second-year classes are based on ‘texts’ of various types: printed texts but also audio broadcasts, images or film / video, for example. Aims: - to deepen and refine your insights into the language system and lexis - to continue work on functional competence and discourse competence - further study of style,

register and appropriateness - to raise awareness of native language / culture influence and to highlight differences

between English and German Outcomes: You will be able to understand and produce a range of spoken and written text-types relevant to the personal, educational and future occupational needs of Arts students and to comment on significant features in such texts. You will also develop an awareness of sources of linguistic or cultural misunderstanding and of the problems of transferring ‘meaning’ from one language to another. Focus: - working with different kinds and genres of ‘text’ - oral discussion and reporting / presentation of findings - oral and written comment and analysis - oral and written personal / critical response Assessment: This will include attendance, active participation, class work, homework assignments and written tests on material covered. At the end of LIU 2 you will be required to submit a presentation portfolio of your work over the year, accompanied by appropriate comments and explanations. Courses:

Language Workout: Grammar, Vocabulary and Writing Skills (freies Wahlfach, auch K301)

2 St, UE, p.A.

Registration: first session

Please note: This class is especially recommended to students who have completed ILSS 1 and ILSS 2 but are aware that they need extra language practice in order to succeed in advanced classes.

John Heath, Tue 16-18, Room 2 (ab 11.10.) The aim of this class is to develop students‘ proficiency and confidence in handling the rules of grammar in English, as well as putting these rules into practice through exercises and longer writing assignments. Through work with texts, students can also expect their vocabulary range to increase. Class sessions will be spent on discussion and illustrated explanation of grammar rules, exercises where they will be put into practice, and the grammatical analysis of various texts (journalism. historical account, speech transcriptions, travel literature etc.). Assessment will take the form of written assignments to be handed in during the semester, and a final test.

SPRACHWISSENSCHAFT/LINGUISTICS

201/K211: Introduction to the Study of Language 1

Studierende, die ein positives Zeugnis über diese Lehrveranstaltung benötigen, um im DARAUF FOLGENDEN Semester ein linguistisches Proseminar, Sprachgeschichte oder Introduction to Language Teaching (601) zu besuchen, MÜSSEN zum 1. Prüfungstermin (in der letzten Sitzung des Semesters) antreten. Aus organisatorischen Gründen können Ergebnisse aus dem 2. Prüfungstermin NICHT BERÜCKSICHTIGT werden.

2st, VO

Christiane Dalton-Puffer, Bryan Jenner, Wed 10-12, Hs C1 (ab 12.10.) This lecture course forms the first part of a one-year introductory programme which will show how human language works to project individual identity and express social meaning. We will therefore begin by looking at how speech sounds are used to convey linguistic meaning and individual identity. In order to achieve this we shall study the best ways of describing and transcribing the sounds and sound systems of English and other languages. We shall then consider how language varies to reflect different social and geographical factors and how this variation may be described and represented in theoretical models. Finally we shall examine how language functions in communication and how humans use language to create meaning. Required course books: Roach, Peter. 2002. Phonetics. (Oxford Introductions to Language Study). Oxford: OUP. Yule, George. 1996. The Study of Language. Cambridge: CUP. Also recommended: Garcia Lecumberri, M. Luisa and John A. Maidment. 2000. English Transcription Course.

London: Arnold. Widdowson, H.G. 1996. Linguistics. (Oxford Introductions to Language Study). Oxford: OUP. Parallel to the lecture course there will be a one-hour programme of practical analysis and transcription. This will be held on Tuesdays 15-16 in Unterrichtsraum (ab 11.10.) (see p. 74).

202/K212: Introduction to the Study of Language 2 2st, VO

Bryan Jenner, Angelika Rieder, Mon 16-18, Hs C2 (ab 10.10.) This lecture forms the second part of a one-year introductory programme and will complement the topics discussed in the course 'Introduction to the Study of Language 1'. After giving an overview of the scope of linguistics, we will investigate the meaning of words and sentences (semantics) and consider different approaches to grammar. We will also analyse the internal architecture of words (morphology) and discuss how they combine to form phrases and sentences (syntax). Furthermore, the course will focus on how language is processed in the mind (psycholinguistics) and on how it is acquired in a first and second language context.

203/K213: Introduction to the History of English

2st, PS, p.A.

Preconditions: - old curriculum: pass grade in Introduction to Phonetics K 211 or Introduction to the Study

of Language 201 - new curriculum: pass grades in Language Analysis 101 and 102 as well as 201/K 211,

UmsteigerInnen with pass grades in Englische Sprachübungen I-IV do not need Language Analysis pass grades.

Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen, p. 15 ff. Language varies geographically, socially and historically: this course focuses on the different forms of English over time. It builds on concepts and terminology familiar from the introductory lecture courses and applies them to a number of developments which have made English the language it is today. Some of the questions raised will be: why is there so little correspondence between English spelling and pronunciation? Why are there hardly any inflectional endings in Modern English and why is its vocabulary so full of words of foreign origin? Answering these questions necessitates reflection on how we can find out about past stages of a language with only written material (or not even that) as a source. Texts from different periods in English language history will be used for illustration. The discussion of all topics touches upon the essential questions as to how and why languages change at all. Marks will be assigned on the basis of homework, class participation and exam(s).

Courses: Christiane Dalton-Puffer, Fri 10-12, Room3 (ab 14.10.) Christian Liebl, Thu 17-19, Room 5 (ab 13.10.) Nikolaus Ritt, Mon 10-12, Room 5 ÄNDERUNG: Mon 12-14, Besprech.zimmer (ab 10.10.) Herbert Schendl, Wed 11-13, Room 4 (ab 12.10.) Viktor Schmetterer, Wed 17-19, Room 3 (ab 12.10.)

204/K215: English Linguistics: Introductory Seminar

2st, PS, p.A.

Preconditions (new curriculum): Pass grades in Language Analysis 101 and 102 as well as in 201/K211. UmsteigerInnen with pass grades in Englische Sprachübungen I-IV do not need Language Analysis pass grades. Preconditions (old curriculum): no formal preconditions but pass grade in K212/202 strongly recommended. Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen, p. 15 ff. These classes focus on one area of linguistics, seeking to attain two basic goals: a) to provide an overview of a specific area as well as a sound knowledge of both past developments and the present "state of the art". Weekly readings (textbook as well as supplementary material) are required.

34

b) to provide a more in-depth treatment of a particular aspect of the area by means of a research paper, which should introduce the student to the basic skills of researching and writing such a paper. In-class presentations or discussion forums on the paper topic give the students the opportunity to argue their ideas. Credit for the course is earned by satisfactorily meeting both of the above goals. Course evaluation will be based on the research paper, oral presentations, contribution to class discussion, a written exam, and weekly (written) assignments. Courses:

The mental lexicon

Julia Hüttner, Thu 12-14, Room 1 (ab 20.10.)

In this course we will explore the nature of the human word-store or 'mental lexicon'. We will be looking at processes of word-formation, at approaches to word meaning, at the phonological and syntactic information in the lexicon, and at formulaic language or pre-fabricated chunks. Furthermore, we will discuss how people learn words (in a first and second language), and how they understand and use them. Finally, we will also acquaint ourselves with the dictionary on the shelf and try to relate it to the one in the head. Participants' own research projects will be based on further and more in-depth reading on selected topics. All participants will present aspects of their projects during a 'mini conference' on 2 and 3 December, replacing 4 weekly sessions. Attendance at this ‘mini-conference’ is obligatory. Textbook: Aitchison, Jean. 2003. Words in the mind. An introduction to the mental lexicon. (3rd edition). Oxford: Blackwell.

Phonetics and Phonology

Bryan Jenner, Tue 10-12, Room 1 (ab 11.10.)

This course will build on the basic introduction to phonetics provided in the first semester course (201) and study applications of phonetics and phonology in the description of varieties of English, including English as a lingua franca. Transcriptions skills will be further developed to include suprasegmental aspects of pronunciation. The adequacy and relevance of a range of theoretical concepts will also be considered. Students’ own research will focus on the description of a particular variety or model of English pronunciation.

Textbook: Roach, P. 2000. English Phonetics and Phonology. Cambridge University Press.

Sociolinguistics

Bryan Jenner, course A: Mon 12.30-14, Room 1 (ab 10.10.) course B: Wed 16-17.30, Room 1 (ab 12.10.)

Language form and language use vary considerably according to differences in society, users, purposes and situations. This course offers an introduction to some of the possible ways of describing such variation systematically. It will also examine some of the social and political

35

consequences of linguistic variation and offer students the chance to select a particular sociolinguistic topic for investigation in greater depth. Textbook: Trudgill, Peter. 2000 Sociolinguistics: an introduction to language and society. Penguin

Phonetics and Phonology Gunther Kaltenböck, Wed 10-12, Besprechungszimmer (ab 12.10.) Building on the basic introduction to phonetics in the Introductory Lecture (201), we will study applications of phonetics and phonology in the description of varieties of English. In doing so we will consider the relevance and adequacy of a range of theoretical concepts. Particular emphasis will be given to suprasegmental aspects of pronunciation, such as intonation, stress and rhythm, and connected speech phenomena. This will also involve further development of transcription skills and ear-training. Class discussion will be based on selected readings on these topics and participants’ own projects will be based on further, more in-depth reading and the analysis of data. All participants will present aspects of their projects during a ‘mini conference’ (replacing 4 weekly sessions) probably on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 December (late afternoon).

Introduction to the Study of Literatures in English

Ewald Mengel, Thu 10-12, Hs C1 (ab 13.10.)

In the first few weeks, we will talk about basic research tools, the use of our library, bibliographies, resources on the internet, and the question of how to write a seminar paper. Then we will deal more specifically with individual genres (fiction, drama, poetry) and theories and methods of their analysis. Towards the end of the term, we will discuss literary theory and literary history. There will be a final written examination in the last week of the term. A reader with useful information will be available at the beginning of the semester.

302/K221: Survey of Literatures in English I

Studierende, die ein positives Zeugnis über diese Lehrveranstaltung benötigen, um im DARAUF FOLGENDEN Semester ein literaturwissenschaftliches Proseminar besuchen zu können, MÜSSEN zum ersten Prüfungstermin (in der letzten Sitzung des Semesters) antreten. Aus organisatorischen Gründen können Ergebnisse aus dem zweiten Prüfungstermin NICHT BERÜCKSICHTIGT werden.

This lecture course offers an introduction to the older period of English literature - a phase which extends from the Middle Ages up to and including the eighteenth century. Individual courses will differ in structure and content but will all contain a section on William Shakespeare’s works. The focus will necessarily be placed on trends, epochs and generic development; prototypical texts will be used as illustrative material. In addition to retracing the evolution of English literature, this lecture course offers a first introduction to some of the more important developments in English cultural history. Students will thus be provided with a contextualising framework which will enable them to read texts as complex responses to their respective cultural, social, historical, political, scientific, philosophical and economic environment. Students are advised to take this lecture course after having successfully completed the introductory course on the study of literatures in English. Course:

From the Renaissance to the Restoration: A Brief Survey Elke Mettinger-Schartmann, Mon 10-12, Hs C2 (ab 10.10.) This course provides a historical survey of the Tudor and Stuart reigns and looks at the roles played by religion, the voyages of discovery and the cult of Queen Elizabeth. A brief outline of the Elizabethan world picture as presented by E.M.W. Tillyard will be the starting-point for a presentation of some more recent and less traditional literary theories that are especially relevant to Renaissance studies, above all New Historicism as adopted by critics such as Stephen Greenblatt or Louis Montrose. The discussion of the literature includes the four major genres, starting with 16th century prose fiction that has often been neglected by literary history. The epic will serve as a link between prose and poetry that will mainly be discussed in terms of the

37

development and analysis of the sonnet, but will also include poems by the Metaphysical Poets. The development of drama will be traced from its medieval origins to the closing of the theatres by the Puritans and mainly focus on Shakespearean drama, in particular A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Macbeth, but also on Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus (all available in paperback editions). A reader with key passages from prose fiction and epic and the poetry dealt with during the term will be provided.

British Literature from the 18th to the 20th Century

Ewald Mengel, Tue 11-13, Hs C1 (ab 11.10.) This survey will outline the history of British literature from the end of the 17th/beginning of the 18th century up to our time with an emphasis on major social and political developments. The lectures will include all genres, but a special focus will be on the novel, on drama and on poetry. A reader containing text excerpts, important dates, facts and summaries will be available at the beginning of the term. Students are expected to prepare for – and accompany – this survey by an individual reading of selected chapters from a literary history of their choice – for example, Michael Alexander, A History of English Literature (Macmillan Pb); Andrew Sanders, The Short Oxford History of English Literature (Oxford UP); Ulrich Seeber (ed.), Englische Literaturgeschichte (Metzler). Many of the texts discussed in this survey may be found in the Norton or the Arnold Anthology of British Literature.

North American Literatures and Cultures from the Early 17th to the Late 19th Century

Waldemar Zacharasiewicz, Thu 15-17, Hs B (ab 13.10.)

The course is intended to offer an introduction to literary and cultural documents produced in North America from the first British settlements in the early 17th century to the closing of the frontier in the U.S.A. and the opening of the Canadian Prairies for settlement. A historical survey will provide a framework for a reading of selected texts from the colonial period and the development of a national culture in the U.S.A. in the 19th century and the beginnings of a sense of collective identity in the Dominion of Canada after 1867. Some attention will be paid to texts reflecting the Puritan heritage and the emergence of distinct regional cultures in the U.S.A. Excerpts of texts to be discussed will be taken from vols. i and ii of the MacMillan Anthology of American Literature, ed. George McMichael, and other collections. Among the authors to be considered will be John Smith and William Bradford, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, James Fenimore Cooper and Nathaniel Hawthorne. A mastercopy containing all the texts and including also excerpts from early settlements in Canada, (e. g. texts by Catherine Parr Traill and poems by C. G. D. Roberts) will be provided.

304/K225: Introductory Seminar Preconditions (new curriculum): Pass grades in Language Analysis 101 and 102 plus 301/K223 and either 302/K221 or 303/K222. Students who have pass grades in both literature survey courses will be given preference in case not enough places are available. UmsteigerInnen with pass grades in Englische Sprachübungen I-IV do not require pass grades in 101 and 102.

Preconditions (old curriculum): Pass grades in K221/302, K222/303, K223/301 necessary.

2st, PS, p.A.

Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen, p.15 ff. These classes deepen and extend the subject matter of the introductory lectures. They are intended to help students develop a well founded yet independent critical approach to literary texts. Participants are given a thorough grounding in various skills and techniques required for the writing of academic papers: the use of works of reference; the use and evaluation of secondary literature; more about the theory and practice of critical analysis; the correct use of literary terminology. A selection of literary texts forms the basis for this work. On completing the class, students should be in a position to take an active part in the literary seminar. Evaluation is on the basis of classwork, a longer academic essay written in English (10 pages), and a written final test. Courses:

Dialogues and Contestations in the 'Promised Land'

(Non)- Conformity in North American Jewish Writing

Eugen Banauch, Thu 12-14, Room 4 (ab 13.10.) KURZFRISTIG ABGESAGT!!!

In this course we will focus on constructions and notions of Jewishness(es) in English writing. The primary goal will be the occupation with the deliberate deployment, appropriation and/or refusal of grand narratives - such as the American dream, conceptions of Manifest Destiny, and

39

links with Jewish (prophetic) traditions - by Jewish writers. We will also have investigative looks at texts which are not necessarily written by American Jews but represent Jews as ‘cultural others’. Jewishness and the image of the wandering Jew became a paradigm for the ‘conditio humana’ in the 20th century in which displacement and diaspora were constitutive both in- and outside of literature. We will investigate strategies of constructions of Jewish identities, the employment of markers of identity, isolation and community in the diaspora and writing from the margins. An important focus will also be on voicing the unsayable, i.e. the problematic nature of art and writing about the Holocaust. Not in accordance with the main topic but as a contrastive analysis and in tune with the occupation with representations of cultural otherness, we will start the term with Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. Apart from the play, the readings will be taken from the US-American and Canadian context: Aniza Yezierska Bread Givers (1921), Henry Kreisel’s The Betrayal (1964)and David Gow’s Cherry Docs (2000), poems and short stories by Bernard Malamud, Allen Ginsberg, A.M. Klein, Henry Kreisel, Eli Mandel, Mordecai Richler, Leonard Cohen and Irving Layton, and Woody Allen’s Manhattan (1979).

Journeys into the Unknown Michael Draxlbauer, Mon 12-14, Room 4 (ab 10.10.) In this class we will examine a very productive, and engaging, motif in world literature, the journey into the unknown, with its elements of mystery, adventure and danger. The literary – and largely metaphorical – journeys that we will analyze are Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” (1798), Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno”(1855), Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (1899), Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night (1940), and Patrick White’s Voss (1957). While the emphasis in our work is on literary criticism and the production of a scholarly essay (with a deepened understanding of the terminology and techniques of interpretation) we will also examine the historical, social, cultural, and geographical (the Pacific, the Congo, Australia) dimensions of our texts, as well as – importantly – their biographical aspects. "Masking the Self: Cross-Dressing as Literary Metaphor in American Literature"

Astrid Fellner, Tue 13-15, Room 4 (ab 11.10.)

In this introductory seminar we will investigate instances of cross-dressing in American culture, tracing this theme through three centuries. From cross-dressed female soldiers in the 18th century to gender performers in the 20th century, the figure of the cross-dresser has allowed Americans to confront and smooth over a host of disruptive contradictions. The fact that cross-dressing characters appear repeatedly in American literature suggests that cross-dressing is a useful and important literary device, which gives rise to intriguing questions: What functions does cross-dressing serve in a literary work? What do cross-dressing characters have to say about American culture? And ultimately, what constitutes cross-dressing—i.e., which boundaries of American identity (gender, class, race, etc.) can be crossed by means of dress? We will discuss Charles Brockden Brown’s Ormond (1799), William Wells Brown’s Clotel (1864), Mark Twain’s “How Nancy Jackson Married Kate Wilson” (c. 1902), and Djuna Barnes’s Nightwood (1936). We will also analyze some poems by H.D., examine David Henry Hwang’s play M. Butterfly, and discuss some cross-dressing films (such as Some Like It Hot) as well as Madonna’s music videos.

40

The critical analysis of these texts will be preceded by a discussion of the techniques of writing research papers as well as an introduction to questions of literary theory and interpretative methods.

The Individual and Society

Ursula Kluwick, Mon 16-17.30, Room 3 (ab 10.10.) In this course we will be looking at texts which deal with human attempts to create and recreate societal structures. We will consider various strategies of (re)negotiating the relationship between individuals and society, as well as different forms of human interaction and different models of society. In class, we will discuss a number of texts from different periods and genres. Students’ own papers will be based on Michael Ondaatje’s novel In the Skin of a Lion, which deals with the building of Toronto and the creation of Canadian multicultural society, Timberlake Wertenbaker’s play Our Country’s Good, which depicts the establishment of a convict colony in Australia, and a selection of poetry which will be available in the first session. Apart from its theme, the main purpose of this course is the development of students’ skills in critically analysing and discussing literature. Course requirements: short presentation in class, regular short assignments, one longer academic paper, and a final test.

Writing London – London Writing

Ludwig Schnauder, Fri 9-11, Room 4 (ab 14.10.) 'England is a small island. The world is infinitesimal. But London is illimitable,' says Ford Madox Ford in The Soul of London. If this is true of the city itself, it is equally true of the writing that it has inspired. In this course we will look at representations of the metropolis in poetry, drama and narrative fiction from various periods of English literature. Our main focus will be on Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist, which portrays the underworld of Victorian London, and George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, in which London's turn-of-the-century topography is shown to reflect the hierarchies of social class.

Analysing literary texts for scholarly purposes and classroom teaching

Franz-Karl Wöhrer, Tue 14.30-16, Room 5 (ab 11.10.)

During the first six weeks of the proseminar students will be introduced (cursorily) to electronic and conventional methods of bibliographical research and, more specifically, to the basic skills of literary interpretation and the scholarly analysis of poetry, narrative fiction and drama. Particular emphasis will be put on the study of the narrative technique, motifs and aspects of poetic language (imagery, rhetorical figures). The texts discussed in class will be interpreted against the given historical and cultural contexts and placed into the appropriate literary tradition(s). Considering the fact that the majority of students are going to be teachers of English, didactic aspects – approaches to teaching literature in the EFL classroom - will likewise be considered (albeit only cursorily and depending on the number of participants studying Anglistik/Lehramt). Students are invited to make proposals for literary texts they would like to discuss in class. Suggestions are welcome by e-mail until October 4 (at the very latest). The list of texts proposed for discussion will include plays,

41

poems and short stories from various periods and areas of anglophone literature from the late Middle Ages to the present. (The list of proposed texts will include, amongst other works, Marlowe’s The Jew of Malta, Timberlake Wertenbaker's Credible Witness (2001), love poems by Donne, Shakespeare, religious verse by Herbert and Vaughan, lyrical verse by Wordsworth, as well as short narrative literature from Chaucer through Hardy and Joyce to Helen Simpson, T. C. Boyle and contemporary Irish writers. The provisional list of suggested texts will be put up on the notice-board in September. The definitive selection will be made in class at the first meeting in October (for the date see the notice board). Requirements: regular attendance, contributions to the discussions in class, oral presentation of a chosen topic (min. 20 mins), a proseminar-paper (about 3.500 words), final test (requiring a thorough knowledge of the study-materials (handouts) and of all the texts discussed in class.)

Introduction to Cultural and Regional Studies

Werner Huber, Tue 12-13, Hs C2 (ab 11.10.) This lecture course will introduce students to major theoretical approaches, selected practices and key issues relevant to the study of culture(s). It will begin by exploring the notion of “culture as text” and explore the “cultural studies turn” in the ‘philological’ disciplines. A survey of definitions and rival schools of cultural studies will be attempted in accordance with the trans- and multidisciplinary nature of this extremely heterogeneous field. By way of illustrating the contents further the following key words may serve as chapter headings: literary anthropology, cultural materialism, mentalities, new historicism, post-colonialism, identity vs. alterity/otherness, national/regional identities, images and stereotypes, subcultures, intermediality/media cultures, gender studies, memory and culture.

Introduction to Cultural and Regional Studies

Waldemar Zacharasiewicz, Fri 10-12, Unterrichtsraum (ab 14.10.) (every 2nd week)

The introductory course is to explore a number of problem areas especially relevant to students interested in getting intimately acquainted with other national cultures and ready to prepare themselves for the roles of mediators between members of different language communities. The course will deal with general questions concerning conceptions of culture, and will address the

42

complex issue of the tension between globalization and regionalization apparent in the last decades of the 20th century. It will introduce key issues and terms, describe some methods of inquiry practiced in the multidisciplinary field of Cultural Studies and will approach relevant issues, especially from the angle of Imagology. It will analyze the construction of collective identities and deal with the related concepts of center and periphery. The texts and phenomena to be studied are primarily taken from North America, with the American South and Canada supplying examples for a debate on topics such as ethnicity, regionalism, post-Colonialism and gender construction. A reader containing essays and excerpts from relevant studies will be available. These and similar issues will also be dealt with in guided workshops, in which a detailed discussion of issues and concepts introduced in the lecture course will be conducted.

2st, VO

From the City Upon a Hill to Global Hegemony

Michael Draxlbauer, Tue 13-15, Hs C2 (ab 11.10.)

The 20th century has been called “the American century”. These days, in the era of George W. Bush, we may well witness the beginning of “the Anti-American century”. What has become of the Puritans' early-17th-century “City upon a Hill”, promising religious and political freedom in the “New World” (though the “Indian” tribes that were being colonized at the time will very much disagree with this Eurocentric point of view)? How come the USA, the paradigmatic (?) nation of liberty, democracy, and surplus goods, is now seen as a global threat, with its turbo-capitalism, its crusade agendas, its violation of human and civil rights? This survey lecture course is designed to analyze the changes in the popular image of the United States. Introducing students to the comparative and interdisciplinary study of USAmerican culture(s), it sets out to provide the background in history, geography and demography – the social constructions of identity, ethnicity and “race”– necessary for a deeper understanding of USAmerican life in a foreign-language-learning context. We will also focus on topical issues of the day – and all along the way, we will look at the many historical, political, and ideological differences (and similarities?) between the USA and Canada. A reader and handouts will be provided. Students will be also invited to conduct specified internet research. The written final examination (90 minutes) will address the issues discussed in class.

"Through the Looking Glass": Female Artistic Selves Re-fractured and Re-imagined Beyond the Patriarchal Camera Obscura

Melanie Feratova-Loidolt, Fri 12-14, Room 5 (ab 14.10.) The course focuses on texts which centre on female protagonists who cross a threshold at a critical moment in their lives. Understanding the notion of “the looking glass” as transition path to an inverted world, we will explore how such thresholds constitute themselves (in other texts) in water-surfaces, the wall, the bell jar, the window, the lighthouse. Our aim is to trace the symbolic significance of this transition for women who are of different age but share an artistic female self, which is declared in the patriarchal-cultural context (mostly) as oddity, separatist, narcissist, maddened. As a starting point we focus on Tennyson’s poem and Carroll’s story which centre on and allude to symbolisms widely tackled in 20th cent. poststructuralist feminist/gender theory and which allow us to unlock the female-authored literary texts in a new perspective: the Platonic allegory

44

of the cave and the symbolism of Alice crossing the looking-glass. Feminist theoretical discussions of these two topics (e.g. Elisabeth Grosz, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Teresa de Lauretis, Kaja Silverman, Margaret Whitford) will provide the methodological framework for the course. We will see that female separatist selves develop, in the process of interrogation of their facture, a potential to decipher patriarchal cartographies of spaces of memory, the psyche, the body, and a potential to read/see/imagine “other” spatio-temporalities by engaging with self-expressive artistic forms of writing or painting. Apart from following the deconstructionist logic of paradox we engage the metaphor of weaving, originating the myth of the Parcae and Arachne, widely applied in literature and feminist studies (e.g.Bonnie Kime-Scott) to convey women’s re-envisioning, re-writing of patriarchal identity patterns. The following texts will be discussed and analysed: Lord Alfred Tennyson. “The Lady of Shallott” (1832); Lewis Carroll. Through the Looking Glass. (1872) Charlotte Perkins Gilman. “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892);Virginia Woolf. To the Lighthouse. (1927) Sylvia Plath. The Bell Jar. (1962/3); Margaret Atwood. Surfacing. (1973)

Approaching ESP Texts

Julia Hüttner, Thu 15-17, Room 5 (ab 20.10.) Registration see p. 15 ff.

In this interactive course, we will focus on ESP texts of different kinds within an applied linguistic framework. By keeping the overall aim of ESP teaching in mind, we will describe and analyse the features and structures of a selection of text types, or genres. Apart from a reflective introduction to discourse and genre analysis, this will also entail learning to use language corpora, i.e. computerised collections of texts, and the associated concordancing software. This course aims to show students how to access and work with text sources as an aid in using and developing teaching materials. This course falls into three parts: introduction to the applied linguistic framework; practical experience in analysing ESP genres; and student projects on specific language aspects of an ESP genre and how they could be taught. This is Course 2 of the module on Teaching English for Specific Purposes, and should be attended after Course 1 ("World of Work").

Gendering Disability Studies: A Few Examples in US Literature and Culture

Gastprof. Catherine Parayre, Wed 14-16, Unterrichtsraum (ab 12.10.) Registration see p. 15 ff.

An emerging field in the United States, Disability Studies develop an interdisciplinary approach (including social, cultural, historical and literary inquiry) to better understand disability. Of particular significance in the field are a strong interest in the study of marginalized groups and in the political scope of scholarship and teaching as well as an emphasis on questions about agency and identity and how they relate to the body. Referring to disability-studies scholarship and other theoretical debates, the course will examine in what ways gender / women's studies and disability studies intersect and will apply these two related perspectives to the reading of literary examples selected from US literature. Some of the topics to be discussed are: minority models, the

45

representation of race and disability in literature, the motif of the "madwoman", the grotesque in southern literature, beauty issues, the representation of disability in US culture (from nineteenth-century "freak-shows" to today's art projects for individuals with disabilities). In addition to literary texts, we will consider examples in the visual and performance arts. Required readings: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (Maya Angelou), Virgin Suicides (Jeffrey Eugenides), The Loony-Bin Trip (Kate Millett), Beloved (Toni Morrison), "Good Country People" and "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" in Collected Works (Flannery O'Connor), critical articles. Assessment: One short oral report; one guided position paper (about 3 pages); one essay (about 10 pages). Grading criteria: emphasis will be given to content and structure.

English Studies and the Philosopher's Toolbox Klaus Puhl, Mon 14-16, Room 5 (ab 10.10.) English Studies has drawn on a variety of approaches, theories, concepts, and topics which have been developed within the domains of, for example, anthropology, psychoanalysis, sociology, and philosophy. Especially philosophy offers distinctive models of explanation as it deals with problems concerning the constitution of identity, questions of aesthetics and those associated with language, meaning, textuality, representation, power and agency. Contesting positions have developed out of these discussions: Structuralism, post-structuralism, and deconstruction, hermeneutics, feminist criticism, etc. In this introductory course we will look at these philosophical positions and concepts primarily as tools for English Studies, emphasising their trans- and multidisciplinary character. Requirements: regular attendance, regular set readings, participation in class discussions, oral presentations, final written exam.

2. STUDIENABSCHNITT

PART II (COURSES FOR 2ND DIPLOMA EXAMINATION)

SPRACHKOMPETENZ/LANGUAGE SKILLS By the end of your course of studies you should have reached a level of English that has been described as ‘Mastery’. This does not imply a native-speaker-like command of the language, it simply means that you are a very advanced or highly proficient user of English, with a wide range of different language competencies at your disposal. You will be equally at home using English for day-to-day personal or public communication, or for teaching, or for any other professional activity for which you have the relevant subject qualifications.

At this stage in your studies you may want to ‘specialise’, which is why the Topic Related Courses round off the language programme. Here you can choose from various options that interest you or are relevant to your present or future needs, for instance English for Specific Purposes, Creative Writing, Academic Writing Skills, Advanced Oral Skills, Literary Translation, The Language of Newspapers / Magazines. Details of the courses available in the current semester appear below. OVERVIEW Language Skills, Part II

UE 2

123 - 126 Topic-related course UE 2 Students on the old curriculum: Since the old type Englische Sprachübungen V / VI are no longer taught, students on the old curriculum have to obtain pass grades in three courses from the new curriculum in order to complete the language competence component. One of these courses must involve translation (121), another must focus on advanced writing (122, 123) and the third class is to be chosen from the remaining codes. In accordance with regulations for the old curriculum, language courses of the second part of studies need not be taken in a particular sequence. Depending on availability it will be possible to attend two classes (with different codes!) in one term. Registration for the second class is only possible from 10. – 14. October (Nachmeldefrist) in the central office. Please note: If you have already completed Englische Sprachübungen V and VI, registration for a topic related course (Freifach K 801) is only possible in the Nachmeldefrist. Students who have not yet completed the language programme are given preference. Students on the new curriculum: If you have already passed the first diploma examination, you can choose from all code numbers. In this case - and depending on availability - it is also possible to register for a second course (with a different code) in the Nachmeldefrist (10-14 October central office). If, however, you have not yet completed the first part of studies, registration is only possible for 121, this being the only language competence course that can be brought forward, regardless of whether you are a Diplom- or a Lehramts-candidate. Lehramtsstudierende should keep in mind that for them 121, 122 (in this sequence!) plus one topic related course are obligatory. (It is, of course, possible to complete additional topic related courses under the heading of “Freie Wahlfächer”).

50

The courses "World of Work 1" and "World of Work 2" (124) have been designed as part of the new ESP module (see page 53) and are thus especially recommended to students (on both the old and the new curriculum) who intend to complete all parts of the ESP module. Contact Mag. B. Mehlmauer-Larcher if you are interested.

121, 122: Advanced Integrated Language Skills 1 & 2 The overall concern of these courses is to enhance linguistic awareness and sensitivity. The aim of 121 AILS 1 is to use the analysis and production of texts in English and German to enable participants to gain insights into the way specific languages work, on the basis of comparing and contrasting different types of texts in these two languages. The approach used will be wide-ranging, from examining details of linguistic usage to considering the cultural background and the ‘clash of cultures’. This will involve both translation criticism and practical translation between English and German. Having successfully completed the course, students should find that they are better equipped to function as ‘transcultural mediators’. Assessment will be based on homework, classwork and tests. The aim of 122 AILS 2 is to help students generate original texts of various kinds, with special emphasis on essays of a general as well as an academic nature. The overall concern at this level is to develop sensitivity to stylistic differences and to help students handle the wide range of lexical and syntactic options available in English. Courses:

123: Adapting for the Stage Martin Buxbaum, Thu 16-18, Besprechungszimmer (ab 13.10.) The purpose of this course is to adapt a well-known novel for a stage production, thereby developing a deeper understanding for the two different text types and also honing one’s writing skills, particularly in the academic realm as well as in the areas of contemporary dialogue and genre transfer. The course content includes the (oral and written) analysis of the original novel, its main plot and sub-plots, story-line(s) and characters, followed by the selection of a suitable dramatic format as well as the transfer of the identified main features of the novel into the new format. Before finalizing the novel to be worked on, I will conduct a survey among English teachers in and around Vienna to increase the project’s general appeal.

Course requirements:

51

Participants will be asked to analyze the original text in order to determine its structure, key story-line(s) and characters. In a second step, a suitable dramatic format for the chosen novel will be selected. In a third step, then, the relevant elements of the novel will be transferred onto the selected dramatic structure:

Grading scheme 10% submitted work on structural elements of the novel 10% submitted work on plot(s) of the novel 10% submitted work on characters of the novel 10% submitted work on suitable dramatic format 50% new scenes 10% participation

124: World of Work 1 (ESP) Liselotte Pope-Hofmann, Mon 12-14, Room 5 (ab 10.10.) This course has been designed as part I of the new ESP module and thus is based on the assumption that participants will complete all parts of the ESP module. It offers students an introduction to text types relevant in a wide range of professional contexts, e.g. business, tourism, marketing, technology, fashion, design, food science and horticulture. The overall aim of the course is to develop students' expertise and to increase their self-confidence in dealing with specialist texts. The skills acquired in the course are of particular relevance for future teachers at "BHS" schools as well as for students who intend to use English in a professional context other than teaching. Semester grades will be based on continuous assessment and a written exam.

124: World of Work 2 (ESP) Amy Krois-Lindner, Thu 10-12, Room 2, (ab 13.10.) World of Work II is offered in addition to World of Work I, and can be taken as Course 1 or Course 4 in the ESP module. The course offers students an introduction to key concepts and text types from a range of professional contexts, including business, law, technology, science and medicine. The overall aim of the course is to develop students' expertise and to increase their self-confidence in dealing with specialist texts. Attention will be paid to developing strategies for dealing with unfamiliar content areas, with an emphasis on analyzing relevant text types. The skills acquired in the course will be of use to future ESP teachers as well as to students who intend to use English in a professional context other than teaching. Semester grades will be based on continuous assessment (including an oral presentation) and a written final exam. This course has been designed as part of the new ESP module and thus is based on the assumption that participants will complete all parts of the ESP module.

125: Advanced Oral Presentation Skills

Amy Krois-Lindner, Tue 9-11, Room 3 (ab 11.10.) This course offers students in part two of their studies an opportunity to work on presentation and discussion skills. The course focuses on developing advanced oral presentation and speaking skills necessary for seminar presentations and discussions. Topics include the planning of an oral

52

presentation (narrowing a topic, analyzing the audience, clarifying the message, etc.), “physical” aspects of public speaking, such as

• body language and use of the voice; • presentation aids (using Powerpoint, talking about visual material, etc.);

as well as language-related aspects of oral communication, such as • expressions for structuring a talk; • rhetorical devices for emphasis; • useful phrases for interrupting, making a point, agreeing, etc.

Students will engage in a variety of speaking activities and will be required to hold one shorter talk as well as a longer formal presentation. Students must also submit a written portfolio documenting the learning process.

126: Shakespeare in German Translation (gemeinsam mit der AR "Shakespeare in the Cinema" anrechenbar

für ein interdisziplinäres Schwerpunkt – Modul 526/528) Leigh Bailey, Tue 14-16, Room 2 (ab 11.10.) Since the middle of the eighteenth century there has been an unbroken tradition of both translating the works of Shakespeare into and performing them in German, with some critics going so far as to claim Shakespeare as a ‘German’ writer. In this course we will compare selected texts in the original and in a number of German translations. In doing so we will try to work out the specific areas which pose problems for the translator and analyse the techniques used to overcome them, and hence to establish criteria for evaluating the quality of these translations. Assessment will be based on classwork and homework exercises, the most important component being a long essay devoted to a translation critique, which will also be presented orally in class. Having completed the course, students should have gained insights into the strategies adopted by Shakespeare’s German translators and to be able to assess their effect on readers and audiences who have had to rely on these translations for their knowledge of Shakespeare’s works.

SPRACHWISSENSCHAFT/LINGUISTICS

221/K518, K531: Core Lecture Linguistics

Bitte beachten Sie: Wegen der angespannten Personalsituation im Bereich der Sprach-wissenschaft kann nicht garantiert werden, dass im Sommersemester 2006 sowohl die Core Lecture (221) als auch die sprachhistorische Vorlesung (K 517, alter Studienplan) angeboten werden. Bitte beziehen Sie diese Möglichkeit eines eingeschränkten Angebots im Sommersemester bereits jetzt in Ihre Studienplanung ein. This lecture course is intended as a follow-up to the Introduction to Linguistics of the first part of studies and will introduce students to different theoretical and descriptive approaches (including their historical background where appropriate) in order to prepare them for the more specialised work in advanced Seminars and other courses. Students are expected to do extensive reading on their own based on an obligatory reading list provided during the term, and will be examined both on the lecture itself and the reading list. Lehramtsstudenten who have already opted for the „Neue Studienplan“ can either take the exam at the end of this course as a credit or be examined on the topics of this lecture in a final exam („Fachprüfung“).

Core Lecture

2st, VO Nikolaus Ritt, Mon 14-16, Hs C2 (ab 10.10.)

This lecture will deal with phonology (the study of sound structure), morphology (the study of word structure both from an inflectional and a derivational point of view), morphonology (the interaction of phonology and morphology), and semantics (the study of meaning) both from a theoretical and a descriptive point of view. It will also include an historical perspective, although the focus will be on the synchronic aspect. The lecture is intended as a follow up on the Introduction to Linguistics course of the first "Studienabschnitt" and will introduce students to different theoretical and descriptive approaches (including their historical background) in the domains mentioned above in order to prepare them for the more specialised work in advanced Seminars and other courses. There will be an obligatory reading list accompanying the lecture, and students will be examined both with regard to the lecture itself and the reading list.

Courses: English as a medium of instruction

Christiane Dalton-Puffer, Fri 12.30-14, Room 3 (ab 7.10.)

The use of English for the teaching of ‘content-subjects’ (e.g. geography, science, music) has become popular practice in many schools in Europe and elsewhere. The advantage of integrating language and content is thought to lie in the potential of such classrooms to provide a ‘language

55

bath’ in which students can develop their foreign language competence beyond what is possible in traditional language classrooms. This course will involve studying various aspects of how English is used in such classrooms by analysing an existing collection of English-medium lessons recorded at Austrian secondary schools. After an initial intensive phase that introduces basics about a) content-and-language-integrated learning and b) the analysis of classroom discourse, participants will work on their individual projects. Oral presentations will be given during a second intensive phase before Christmas. When registering for this course please bear in mind that several sessions in October and December will extend over the whole of Friday afternoon and attendance is obligatory. Required text: Tsui, Amy 1995. Introducing classroom interaction. Harmondsworth: Penguin.

English historical morphology

Dieter Kastovsky, Mon 16-18, Room 2 (ab 10.10.) Requirements: Seminar paper, presentation in class Morphology deals with the structure of words, i.e. with their grammatically conditioned forms (inflection) and their formation (word-formation, derivational morphology). Both domains have undergone radical changes since the Old English period. Inflectional endings have been drastically reduced, resulting in a shift from stem-based to word-based morphology, stem-variability (pervasive morphophonemic alternations) has been replaced by stem-invariancy (in regular inflection and native word-formation), and the existence of several parallel inflectional classes has been replaced by a simple dichotomy of “regular” and “irregular”. On the other hand, English has acquired numerous non-native word-formation patterns, which have introduced new morphophonemic alternations. The seminar will look at these developments, their causes, the parameters used for setting up inflectional classes, the fate of strong verbs, the source of irregular verbs in Modern English, the role of language contact, and it will also involve descriptions of the morphology of historical (OE, ME, EModE) texts.

The sociolinguistics of L2 Englishes Gastprof. Gabriella Mazzon, Tue 12-14, Room 2 (ab 11.10.) This seminar will concentrate on the impact of the adoption of English as a second language on pre-existing sociolinguistic situations in various linguistic communities. The spread of English as an intra-national means of communication, usually taking place as the aftermath of colonisation, has had dramatic consequences on the sociolinguistic profiles of the communities involved. The opening sessions of the seminar will be devoted to an overview of such consequences in terms of: language attitudes, repertoires, educational systems, language mixing, ideological and political overtones, literatures in English, and other related issues. Students joining this seminar (to which attendance is compulsory) will be expected to give presentations and write research papers on set topics within the abovementioned areas. Presentations will be scheduled by the beginning of December; papers will have to be handed in no later than 15th January 2006.

56

Diachronic pragmatics: evidence from Early English texts Gastprof. Gabriella Mazzon, Wed 14-16, Room 4 (ab 12.10.) This seminar aims at making students familiar with the application of the theory and methods of pragmatics to the study of texts from earlier stages of English. Diachronic pragmatics has recently received close attention from several scholars in English linguistics, and the possibility, as well as the limitations, of applying pragmatics to evidence from linguistically and culturally distant times, have been explored; such developments will be reviewed in the first sessions of the seminar, touching on topics such as: genre and text-type development, dialogue analysis, address rules, politeness theory, speech-act analysis, and discourse markers. Students joining this seminar (to which attendance is compulsory) will be expected to give presentations and write research papers on set topics within the abovementioned areas, with an eye to change in various categories over time. Presentations will be scheduled by the beginning of December; papers will have to be handed in no later than 15th January 2006.

Exploring spoken English: a corpus approach Barbara Seidlhofer, Wed 12-14, Room 5 Over the last two decades or so, the description of languages, particularly of English, has changed dramatically due to the availability of electronic resources for data storage and retrieval. Corpora of both written and spoken English provide unprecedented opportunities for research into how the language is used both in the public sphere and in people's private lives.

In this seminar, we will home in on corpora of spoken English. We will investigate theoretical and practical issues of data collection, corpus compilation and corpus-based linguistic description, and conduct a critical enquiry into the huge potential as well as the limitations and pitfalls of corpus approaches to the spoken language.

Participants will be invited to choose a setting they are interested in and to gather their own data for description and discussion. In the run-up to the Austrian EU presidency commencing in January 2006, it would seem appropriate to take as our main source of empirical data the way English is used in the EU. A short reading list and an overview of possible themes will be made available to help preparation for the first few sessions in the winter term.

Language contact in the history of English

Herbert Schendl, Thu 10-12, Room 1 This seminar will investigate language contact in general and the effect of this phenomenon on the English language from medieval times to the present. Though the emphasis will be on British English, other varieties of English will also be looked at, including varieties of English in the ‘Outer Circle’, such as African and Asian varieties. Topics will deal with lexical, grammatical and phonological influence as well as with code-switching and other aspects of bi- and multilingualism.

223/224: Linguistics course (interactive)

57

1st, AR Registration see p. 15 ff.

Saying NO in English Gastprof. Gabriella Mazzon, Mon 12-13, Unterrichtsraum (ab 10.10.) This course will examine several aspects of negative constructions, both in present-day English and in past stages of the language, with special regard to pragmatic aspects such as negative 'reinforcement', Negative Polarity items, litotes, tags, implied negation and metalinguistic negation. Students will have to pass a final test, in which they will also be expected to present their own evidence about the abovementioned topics.

Introduction to Old English (anrechenbar als K 516)

Herbert Schendl, Tue 12-13, Room 4 (ab 11.10.) This course will provide a short introduction to the language of the Anglo-Saxons on the basis of both literary and non-literary Old English texts. The emphasis will be on the acquisition of a basic reading competence in the language and less on the abstract linguistic system. The participants will also gain some insight into Anglo-Saxon life and culture.

225: Linguistics course (interactive) (für Lehramtsstudierende nach dem neuen Studienplan auch alternativ zu 223 wählbar)

The course will offer an introduction to doing concrete work in typological structural syntax and will then present specific problems oftense, aspect, and mood in English and other (primarily other Germanic languages, selected Slavic and Romance languages) to be described and analyzed in a coherent way. Illustration:

• Tense (finite vs. non-finite predicates and their clause status such as embedded infinitival clauses, for-to infinitivals) –

• Aspect (the different forms of diathesis in English as opposed to German and slavic languages; unaccusativity) –

• Mood (modal verbs in English and Germanic, their rather different realization in Romance such as Italian and French).

Linguistic comparison against a theoretical syntactic basis will be paramount. Organization: 3 weeks' block with 3 to 4 sessions per week, each session a full 2 hours. Form: 'Linguistische Arbeitsgemeinschaft' -i.e., we try to organize subgroups working out specific fields in terms of coherent description and analysis and present them to whole course group. The schedule of the three blocks to be determined together with the students during the first session. Book to be used: Elly van Gelderen Syntax. Amsterdam: Benjamins.

Morphological Variation in the History of English (anrechenbar für historical linguistics Modul 226/228 und K517, K531/32)

Gastprof. Gabriella Mazzon, Mon 14-16, Unterrichtsraum (ab 10.10.) The morphological markers of English have often been characterised, over history, by a high degree of instability, as revealed by evidence from early texts, especially from times prior to standardization. In the course of time, plurality markers and case markers, as well as verb endings and paradigms, have shown considerable variability, and changes in class membership have been quite frequent. Even in modern times, in spite of the levelling influence of standardization, such variability is revealed by differences in the use of adjective gradation markers and verb class attribution. Students joining this course (to which attendance is compulsory) will be expected to contribute actively to the sessions through collecting and analysing their own evidence, and to write short papers about their results.

World Englishes (anrechenbar für das applied linguistics Modul 226/228 und für K518, K531/32))

AR, 2st Barbara Seidlhofer, Wed 15-17, Room 5 (ab 12.10.) Given the unprecedented spread of English as a world language, it is appropriate to enquire into the major historical, socio-political and linguistic developments as well as current debates in

59

World Englishes in an attempt to arrive at a balanced perspective on English as "the global language". In this course, we will examine the following themes: the historical, social and political context; the origins of pidgins and creoles; the ownership of English; variation across Englishes; standard language ideology; the internationalisation and indigenisation of English, linguistic imperialism, the future of World Englishes. The objective of this course is to familiarize participants with both the relevant theoretical background underlying these issues and their implications for the description of English as well as for language policy and teaching. The course will be designed to focus on participants' own presentations and class discussion.

Linguistik-Schwerpunktmodule: A 'module' consists of two courses of 2 semester hours (2st) each, which are topically related and thus form a thematic unity. (Please note: a module can only contain one lecture course.) At the moment, three such modules are offered in English linguistics: 1. Historical linguistics 2. Applied linguistics 3. Descriptive linguistics These courses have the numbers 226/228 and 236/238. Usually at least one course in historical linguistics and applied linguistics is offered every semester, so that students can finish a module within two to three semesters. Modules from other areas of linguistics (e.g. descriptive linguistics) are also offered, but less regularly, so that it may take longer to complete such a module.

Language contact and multilingualism in the history of English (anrechenbar für das historical linguistics Modul)

VO, 2st.

Herbert Schendl, Tue 15-17, Hs C2 (ab 11.10.) Throughout its history, English has been in contact with a number of other languages, in particular Latin, French and Scandinavian languages, but, more recently, also Asian and African languages. This contact situation resulted in a variety of contact phenomena, including bi- and multilingualism, some of which have left permanent traces in English, particularly, in its vocabulary. In this lecture course we will first look at general aspects of bi- and multilingualism and then discuss the main contact phenomena in the history of English, from the medieval period to the recent past.

Courses:

The Irish Renaissance (anrechenbar als 326 für ein literature Modul und als K524, K531/32)

Werner Huber, Thu 9-10.30, Unterrichtsraum (ab 13.10.) The Irish Renaissance as the search for cultural and political identity--‘the necessity of de-anglicising Ireland’ (Douglas Hyde)--is a key epoch in Ireland’s cultural history and of exemplary significance for the history of Western Europe. It roughly spans the period between 1880 and 1922, thus covering one of the most productive and dramatic periods in Irish cultural/literary history as well as the formation of an independent Irish state (via the stations of the Easter Rising of 1916, the Anglo-Irish War, and the Irish Civil War). We will begin by looking at Irish nationalism as it was conditioned by Ireland’s colonial history, consider subsidiary movements such as the Gaelic Revival/Celtic Revival before moving on to the intensified rediscovery of the indigenous tradition through antiquarianism, the study of folklore and of the Irish language (Standish O’Grady). Of central importance to the cultural revival movement is the quest for a national theatre, which began in 1897 and which led to the establishment of Ireland’s famous Abbey Theatre in 1904 (William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory, John M. Synge, Edward Martyn). A section on the Easter Rising of 1916 and its reflection in literature will take in the wider aspects of politics and military history up to 1922. A final chapter will be dedicated to the satirical commentators, mockers, detractors, and parodists of the Irish Renaissance (e.g., George Moore, James Joyce, Sean O’Casey, Samuel Beckett, Flann O’Brien). Recommended reading: Rolf Breuer, Irland: Eine Einführung in seine Geschichte, Literatur und Kultur (München: Fink UTB, 2003).

Race in English and American Literature Before 1900 (anrechenbar für ein Literaturmodul als 326 und als K 525/K 531/K 532)

Margarete Rubik, Fri 14-16, Unterrichtsraum (ab 14.10.)

In the recent decades, issues of race and racism in canonical texts have aroused increasing interest in the scholarly community. It is both problematic and challenging to read literary works written in previous centuries from a modern postcolonial perspective, because 16th and 17th century concepts of race, of course, differed widely from our modern understanding of the issue. The lecture will look at a variety of literary texts (plays, poem and fiction) from the time of Shakespeare to the end of the 19th century, in which Africans (or"moors") are described. We will investigate stereotypes of representation and the way in which writers both questioned and reinforced such clichés and participated in their culture's discourse about race and the '"other".

A Cultural History of American Fiction, 1890-1940 (anrechenbar für ein Literaturmodul und als K 524/K 531/K 532)

Waldemar Zacharasiewicz, Wed 10-12, Unterrichtsraum (ab 12.10.)ABGESAGT!! (3.10.)

The lecture course for advanced students is intended to put major works of fiction from the five decades till the eve of World War II into their literary, cultural, social and political contexts. The texts will be read as contributions to the development of American fiction from “Realism to Modernism”. The course will also illustrate the emergence of the urban novel and the beginnings of ethnic literature, especially by Jewish American and African American authors.

Texts to be considered: William Dean Howells, A Hazard of New Fortunes (excerpts), Theodore Dreiser, Sister Carrie; Gertrude Stein, Three Lives (excerpt), Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio (selection); Charles Chesnutt, “The Goophered Grapevine”; Abraham Cahan, The Rise of David Levinsky, Henry Ross, Call It Sleep (excerpt), John Dos Passos, Manhattan Transfer, Ernest Hemingway (short stories from Men Without Women), F. Scott Fitzgerald (short stories), William Faulkner, Light in August; Richard Wright, Uncle Tom’s Children (selection). (As Fulbright Visiting Professor Nancy Hargrove will offer a course on the American Twenties, the writers of the “Lost Generation” and fiction of the Jazz Age will not be in the foreground in this course.)

2st, SE, p.A.

Requirements: regular attendance, active participation in class, seminar paper (ca. 20-25 pp.)

Courses: Revenge Tragedy

Werner Huber, Wed 11-13, Room 1 (ab 12.10.)

62

“Natural Born Killers” or “Fine Young Cannibals” could easily serve as alternative titles for this course. In the mid-1990s a new posse of young playwrights from Britain and Ireland burst on to the theatre scene with plays that were clearly designed to shock audiences by their Quentin Tarantino-style actionism and the explicit portrayal of aggression and physical violence. Literary critics and historians have meanwhile begun to identify this new trend as ‘In-Yer-Face Theatre’ (A. Sierz). The alternative label of ‘new Jacobeanism’ points to the affinities of contemporary drama with one of the most popular types of Elizabethan and Stuart playwriting, i.e. ‘Senecan revenge tragedy’, which, in fact, provided one of the most effective models for serious drama in Shakespeare’s time. In this course, it will be our aim to explore the historical dimensions and continuities of this mode. Assuming that the theme of violence and aggression in these plays is more than simply coincidental or collateral, we will have to subject these plays to some serious cross-examining: what are the motives behind such an aesthetics of violence and its mediation through drama? in what way does such ‘cool’ dramaturgy reflect the values of contemporary society? The following plays and playwrights will be on the agenda: Thomas Kyd, The Spanish Tragedy (1587); John Ford, ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore (1631), Edward Bond, Saved (1965); Sarah Kane, Blasted (1995); David Harrower, Knives in Hens (1995); Martin McDonagh, The Beauty Queen of Leenane (1996); Mark O’Rowe, Howie the Rookie (1999). Requirements for credit: regular attendance, active participation in class, oral presentation, research paper (20-25 pp.), final test. Recommended reading: Please explore this web-site: <www.inyerface-theatre.com/intro.html> Required reading: Details regarding a private anthology for this course will be announced later.

Winds of Change in the Contemporary South African Novel

Ewald Mengel, Wed 10-12, Room 3 (ab 5.10.)

After the fall of apartheid, the South African nation had to undergo a laborious and difficult process of change. This process is reflected in a number of contemporary novels which will be discussed in this seminar. All of these novels deal with the relation of black and white, past and present, tradition and progress, and somehow or other attempt to redefine South Africa’s deeply shaken identity. In most of these novels, the family acts as a symbolic microcosm which reflects the macrocosm of society. The rifts within the family, between father and son, father and daughter, are symbolic of a torn country that is struggling towards a brighter future. Texts: Phaswane Mpe, Welcome to Our Hillbrow. Pietermaritzburg: Univ. Of Natal Press, 2001; Zakes Mda, The Heart of Redness. New York: Picador, 2000; Pamela Jooste, Like Water in Wild Places.

There will be a preparatory meeting in the first week of the winter semester. Those students who want to make sure that they are enrolled for this seminar are asked to volunteer for one of the four topics posted on the notice board in the last week of the summer term. An essay of about 22-25 pages and a final written test in the last week of the term will guarantee full credit.

Encountering the Foreign: From Colonial Adventure to Inter-stellar Travel and Flights of Fantasy

63

Margarete Rubik, Fri 10-12, Room 5 (ab 7.10.)

Western culture has for centuries been both fascinated with and repelled by the foreign, the exotic, the 'other'. As postcolonial theory has frequently stressed, narrations of foreign encounters always involve processes of classification, hence appropriation and consumption. Cognitively, the alien can only be conceptualised and understood in terms of the known, by drawing on familiar world or text schemas to imagine and categorise that which is radically unfamiliar. Since writers use their own culture as a foil against which 'the other' is judged, descriptions of encounters with foreign people always call for a positioning of the author vis a vis Western civilisation, which may either be extolled as a model or criticised as degenerate or corrupt. In the seminar we will survey the various strategies writers have used to describe foreign cultures to their readers and the concepts on which they have drawn to narrate things new, different and unfamiliar. The texts surveyed will range from tales of colonial encounters to science fiction and fantasy, which portray extra-terrestrial universes and imaginary text worlds, yet still have to draw on familiar human experience to communicate their visions. In the seminar, the following texts will be discussed: *Aphra Behn: Oroonoko *(colonial fiction); *Sir Henry Rider-Haggard: She* (colonial fiction and fantasy); *Lewis Caroll: Alice in Wonderland* (fantasy); *Salman Rushdie: Midnight's Children* (magic realism); *Ursula Le Guin: The Left Hand of Darkness* (science fiction). We will start out with a discussion of George Lucas' first *Star Wars* film.

Rediscovering Theatrical Hits of the Interwar Years

Rudolf Weiss, Thu 13-15, Room 3 (ab 13.10.)

This seminar will explore the dramatic literature of the period between the two world-wars, focussing on highly successful plays, all of which were also performed (in translation) in Vienna. The majority of the texts are well-made plays, some of them with a comic accent, a couple with a more serious touch, all of them delightful and/or gripping. We will analyse plays by G.B. Shaw (Pygmalion), John Galsworthy (Loyalties), Somerset Maugham (The Circle), J. B. Priestley (Time and the Conways), Noel Coward (Hay Fever), Terence Rattigan (The Winslow Boy) and a couple of others. Presentations and papers will deal with dramatic and theatrical aspects. Moreover, we will view these plays against the contemporaneous political and social background. Last but not least, we will attempt to investigate their reception in Vienna.

Irish Lovers – Lovers of Ireland as Presented in Selected Works of Irish Fiction from Joyce to the Present

Franz-Karl Wöhrer, Tue 12-13.30, Room 5 (ab 4.10.) The seminar will explore a wide variety of love relationships between lovers from Ireland as presented in selected works of fiction by Irish novelists and short story writers of the 20th and 21st centuries (including Joyce, Sean O’ Faolain, William Trevor, Edna O’Brian, Eilis Ni Dhuibhne, Evelyn Conlon, Cecelia Ahern). One focus will be on stories in which the rootedness in, or uprootedness from, the “native soil” of the “Emerald Island” has a crucial impact on the development of the love relationships. Other narratives will feature lovers whose happiness is jeopardized or terminated by fate, or by the need to emigrate in order to survive, or by the limiting moral, religious, economic or political conditions of Ireland at various periods in Irish history (from the time of the Great Famine to the present). - Participants are expected to provide both a perceptive scholarly analysis of the text and a chapter exploring imagological issues, i.e. typical features of “Irishness” – aspects of Irish identity, mentality, history, politics, religion and the Celtic cultural heritage with its myths and superstitions.

64

Requirements: Participants are required to submit a seminar paper of about 8.000 to 10.000 words at the appointed date and to offer a clearly structured oral presentation (complete with handout) in class; regular attendance, active participation in the discussions in class, oral presentation (approx. 30 minutes), handout, final essay.

Literature of the Early Republic Towards a National Culture and Its Transatlantic

Contexts

Waldemar Zacharasiewicz, Tue 16-18, Room 5 (ab 11.10.) In the late 18th and early 19th century American writers continued to regard the works of British authors as their models in the various literary sub-genres. The inclusion of native settings and of autochthonous fauna and flora gradually paved the way for the emergence of an independent national literature. While the attempts of Charles Brockden Brown to live by his pen did not meet with success, Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper were the first to establish themselves as American writers who were also recognized and translated abroad. But it was only in the 1830s and 40s that the claims for independence in the cultural sphere found memorable expression in Emerson, and the writings of other Transcendentalists, while the emergence of an autochthonous group of painters indicated that American culture approached maturity. Texts to be jointly analyzed: Ch. B. Brown, Wieland; James Fenimore Cooper, The Prairie; short texts by W. Irving and J. K. Paulding; poems by W. C. Bryant; texts by R. W. Emerson; Margaret Fuller, Summer on the Lakes. A reader will be provided containing the poems and the short texts chosen for discussion in class.

American Literature of the 1920s Gastprof. Nancy Hargrove, Wed 13-14, Unterrichtsraum (ab 12.10.) The decade of the 1920s in America, often called “The Roaring Twenties,”was a tremendously exciting period that saw stunning developments in the social, economic, political, and artistic

65

spheres. In this course, we will begin with an overview of the decade itself, followed by a study of three of the major literary works produced at the time, all of which share similar themes, images, and technical experiments: T. S. Eliot’s poem "The Waste Land" (1922), Eugene O’Neill’s expressionistic play The Hairy Ape, and Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises. Although we will not read them for this class, I will also refer to two other major works of the 1920s, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury.

Courses:

20th Century American Poetry (anrechenbar für ein Literaturmodul und als K 524/K 531) Gastprof. Nancy Hargrove, Wed 15-17, Room 3 (ab 12.10.) In this course we will study in depth some of the major figures in 20th Century American Poetry. From the first half of the century, we will examine a selection of poems by Robert Frost, e.e. cummings, and T. S. Eliot (“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”) as well as single poems by such poets as Carl Sandburg, Langston Hughes, William Carlos Williams, and Randall Jarrell. From the second half of the century we will focus on the poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Sexton as well as on single poems by contemporary poets such as Anthony Abbott and Billy Collins.

The British Novel in the Second Half of the 19th Century (anrechenbar für ein Literaturmodul und als K 525/K 531)

Ewald Mengel, Thu 16-18, Unterrichtsraum (ab 13.10.)

Registration: see p. 15 ff. This workshop will deal with the following selection of novels: Charles Dickens, Great Expectations; Anthony Trollope, The Warden; George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss; Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray – all availabe in Penguin Pb. The intention is to describe the various forms, conventions, and functions of novel writing in the second half of the 19th century. The novels will be firmly embedded in the cultural context of their time. Students are expected to attend regularly, to play an active role in the discussions, to give an oral presentation on a topic of their choice, and to write a final seminar paper (12-15 pages).

School novels: From Rugby to Hogwarts (anrechenbar für ein Literaturmodul und als K 524/K 531) Margarete Rubik, Tue 10-12, Room 5 (ab 11.10.)

66

Registration: see p. 15 ff. In this workshop we will analyse several novels written in the 19th and 20th centuries and (at least partly) set in schools, depicting the lives of pupils and teachers and explicitly or implicitly commenting on the goals of education. Some of these novels are traditionally classified as children's literature, others were written for adults, and some may appeal to all age groups, though for different reasons. Can we relate to Tom Brown's ideals today? Do modern pupils still find Stalky's mischief amusing? What is Harry Potter's universal appeal to all age-groups? And why is The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie obviously addressed to an adult readership? The survey will also allow us to comment on conventions of the genre of the school novel, changing ideals of education and implicit gender roles.

19th Century Popular Theatre (anrechenbar für ein Literaturmodul und als K525, K531/32)

Rudolf Weiss, Tue 12-14, Room 3 (ab 11.10.) Two principal charges against nineteenth-century drama are that it was divorced from literature and therefore inconsequential and trivial; furthermore, since it was written for the "theatre", it was separated from the real world around it and bore little or no relation to the serious concerns of life and thought. It is the aim of this workshop to challenge these stereotypes of dramatic and theatrical history. First we will map out the territory, review the political, social and legal aspects of the history of English theatre and introduce the most prominent genres of 19th century English drama, the farce, melodrama, and the problem-play. Against this theatrical and generic background we will look at a number of dramatic texts, ranging from simple, straight farces and melodramas to the 'woman-with-a-past' plays by Arthur Wing Pinero and the sophisticated comedies of Oscar Wilde.

426: Looking for Meaning. An Introduction to Visual Literacy and Visual Culture

(anrechenbar als K531 für ZweitfachanglistInnen – Diplom und Lehramt – und als K701)

2st, VO

Monika Seidl, Thu 10.30-12, Unterrichtsraum (ab 13.10.) Cultural Studies employs a wide notion of text which goes beyond the analysis of verbal texts. University education and teacher training have traditionally highlighted verbal texts and the tools needed to examine them. This lecture course will have the visual at its centre and will aim at

67

providing methodologies for description, analysis and interpretation of images. We will look at the basics of Visual Culture as a field of studies and explore practices of looking at work. Selected topics from last year’s Making Movies Mean lecture course will also be covered. Requirements: 90-minute written examination.

438: The Cultural Studies Generation

(anrechenbar auch als 322, 821, K521, K522, K701)

2st, SE Registration see p.15 ff.

Monika Seidl, Thu 15-17, Room 3 This seminar will focus on Britain in the late 1950s and early 1960s and explore the early stages of the British Tradition of Cultural Studies within a larger context. We will look at literary classics of the period, such as Allan Sillitoe’s Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1958) or Colin MacInnes’ Absolute Beginners (1959), but will also try to examine the values and beliefs of the Mods and Teds, and other Rebels Without A Cause. We will learn what Free Cinema and Vital Theatre stand for, watch the beginnings of Coronation Street and read key texts by the founding fathers of British Cultural Studies, such as passages from the writings of Raymond Williams, Richard Hoggart and the young Stuart Hall. Requirements: regular attendance, regular set readings, participation in class discussions, paper presentation (seminar conference format on a Friday afternoon and Saturday, attendance obligatory), research paper of 20 (minimum) to 25 pages (maximum), final written essay.

Women Writers in Modern American Literature (anrechenbar als K 531, K 701)

Gastprof. Nancy Hargrove, Tue 10-12, Unterrichtsraum (ab 11.10.)

This course will explore the contributions of American women writers from the late 19th century through the 20th century and will include examples from the short story, the novel, drama, and poetry. We will begin with two short stories by the late 19th century writers Charlotte Perkins Gilman (“The Yellow Wallpaper”) and Kate Chopin (“The Story of an Hour”) and then move into the early 20th century with Eudora Welty’s short story “Livvie.” From mid-century, we will study Lorraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in The Sun and a number of poems by Sylvia Plath. Finally, we will cover works By more recent writers publishing in the 1980s and 1990s: Alice

68

Walker’s The Color Purple, Marsha Norman’s play ‘night, Mother, Kaye Gibbons’s short novel Ellen Foster, and six to eight poems by several feminist poets.

Shakespeare in the Cinema (anrechenbar als K531/32 für ZweitfachanglistInnen Diplom und Lehramt, K701)

(gemeinsam mit Topic Related Course 126 "Shakespeare in German Translation" anrechenbar für ein interdisziplinäres Schwerpunkt – Modul 526/528)

Werner Huber, Thu 12-14, Room 5 (ab 13.10.) The joke has been well rehearsed: if William Shakespeare were alive and well and living in Los Angeles, he would be earning his living as a Hollywood script-writer/director. From the early days of cinema (“Silent Shakespeare”), Shakespeare's plays have constituted an interesting playground for film-makers. The 1990s, in particular, witnessed a strong revival of Shakespeare adaptations for the big screen. In fact, we find ourselves in a hitherto unparalleled phase of creative engagements with Shakespeare extending to all fields of popular culture (hip offshoots, “Shaxxxploitation”). It is the aim of this course to explore the intermedial potential (drama vs. film) of the Shakespeare canon via a survey of major adaptations/re-workings of his plays. Thus, we will study, and compare, the work of famous actors/directors/film-makers and their different styles (Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, and Kenneth Branagh, in particular). I propose the following plays/films for discussion: Richard III, Romeo & Juliet, Henry V, Twelfth Night, The Tempest. Requirements for credit: regular attendance, active participation in class, oral presentation, research paper (20-25 pp.), final test. Recommended reading: Students would do well to read the plays mentioned beforehand (in any edition). Required reading: Further material to be handed out during the first week of term.

622: Hooked by the book!? – Literature and ELT

Christian Holzmann, Mon 16-18, Room 5 (ab 10.10.)

Why should we read? What should we read? What is the place of literature in the ELT classroom? And in the computer lab? Does reading make the heart grow fonder? Is life just mirroring trashy novels? Or is it the other way round? These are some of the questions asked, and maybe answered, in this course. We will cover nearly everything: simple stories, hefty novels, graded readers, young adult potboilers, recent bestsellers and literature with a capital L. And on all of them we will cast a teacher's eyes. Voracious readers and reluctant readers are both welcome (as long as they can justify their ways to us). Please note that a substantial part of the course will be dedicated to a literature project with a 7th form. Only sign up for this course, please, if you are flexible enough to spend 2-3 half-days at school and find time for 1-2 odd (in every sense of the word?) meetings.

622: English Speaking Countries in the Context of ELT

70

Susanne Moser-Ramsauer, Mon, 14-16, Room 2

In this course we will have a look at various countries where English is spoken as a first or as an official language. We will try to take cultural studies as a starting point to look at some aspects of life and culture in the respective countries. The choice of specific topics will be made by the participants themselves with a focus on their possible use in the context of English language teaching. We will look at the materials included in Austrian course books for Unter-and Oberstufe and then try to develop our own material collections as well as try to come up with various ways of how to use and exploit them in class. Finally we will also try to justify and reflect upon our selections of topics, materials and suggested activities and procedures from the point of view of CLT. Assessment will be mainly based on participants’ own projects.

622: The Visual in Language Teaching Monika Seidl, Wed 10.30-12, Room 5 (ab 12.10.) Starting from the assumption that a picture may be worth a 1000 words, this class will examine the use of visual images in foreign language learning and will suggest practical applications for the classroom. We will cover a wide range of topics, such as visual strategies to support vocabulary acquisition, ways with classical art or practices of looking and language learning. You will have the opportunity to visit schools, observe lessons and gain some teaching practice.

Requirements: regular attendance, regular set readings & portfolio notes, participation in class discussions, teaching project.

623: Methodology and ESP (English for Special Purposes)

Barbara Mehlmauer-Larcher, Tue 10-12, Room 4 (ab 11.10.) This course is part of the new ESP Module and its aim is to introduce participants to different ESP teaching contexts (e.g. HAK, HLA, HTL, adult education etc.) and to provide them with the necessary background knowledge for developing and implementing ESP teaching programs. Participants will have the opportunity to visit schools and educational institutions offering ESP classes for observations and some teaching practice. Assessment will be mainly based on participants' own projects.

623: Grammar for the Grammarphobes

Monika Seidl, Wed 17-19, Room 2 (ab 12.10.) This class aims at making grammar interesting and relevant to pupils within the context of the established curricula. We will look at conventional and unconventional approaches to language analysis and the conventions of language. Methods for practicing a variety of grammar topics will be demonstrated and we will explore both deductive and inductive approaches to grammar. We will also look at ways of integrating grammar instruction into different general methodologies such as communicative language learning and task-based learning. You will have the opportunity to visit schools, observe lessons and gain some teaching practice.

71

Requirements: regular attendance, regular set readings & portfolio notes, participation in class discussions, teaching project.

624: Words, words, words: Vocabulary in language teaching

Angelika Rieder, Course A: Thu 10-12, Room 5 (ab 13.10.) Course B: Fri 11-13, Room 1 (ab 14.10.)

This course aims at introducing participants to major issues in vocabulary teaching and learning that are specifically relevant in the language classroom. We will look at different aspects of vocabulary knowledge, discuss insights about vocabulary learning and the strategies involved, and draw conclusions about useful considerations for vocabulary teaching. Further topics will include testing vocabulary knowledge, designing and assessing vocabulary components of language courses, and computer-based vocabulary activities. The course will be carried out with e-learning support, including regular e-learning sessions and a reduced number of face-to-face sessions.

624: Speaking activities that work Barbara Stefan, Fri 8.30-10 Room 3 (ab 14.10.) “It is much more difficult to get learners to express themselves freely than it is to extract right answers in a controlled exercise.” (Penny Ur: Discussions that work) In this course we will therefore discuss major issues in teaching speaking and will look at various techniques that provide learners with meaningful and motivating reasons for speaking. We will cover a wide range of activities from simple role-plays and language games to more complex process dramas. Participants will have the opportunity to visit schools and put their ideas into practice. Assessment will be mainly based on participation in class discussions and participants’ teaching projects.Course description to be announced.

We shall concentrate on a few central issues and use these to investigate ideas about language learning and teaching. These will include: language description for pedagogy, second language acquisition, curriculum and syllabus design, materials evaluation, analysis and critique of communicative language teaching and other approaches. The focus will not be on practising teaching skills but on critical reflection. Please note: There will be a reading list and regular assignments. Textbook: Widdowson, H.G.
