Di wöchentl. 12:00 - 14:00 09.04.2019 - 20.07.2019 1502 - 615Kommentar The Lower Saxony “Kerncurriculum” for the EFL classroom has always put a strong

focus on teaching literature (i.e. novel, short story, drama, poem). “Recently, the adventof the new media, a broader definition of what constitutes literature, new socio-culturalchallenges, and the inclusion of neglected reader groups have shifted attention tomultimodal texts and tasks, transcultural and global issues, books for children and youngadults, and to primary and lower secondary learners as readers of literary texts” (Delanoy,Eisenmann and Matz 2015: 7). We will ‘try out’ and discuss selected new multimodaltext formats created for digital devices (i.e. Lit Apps, living novels, tiny tales ) andsubsequently promote creative ways of dealing with them in a task-based, learner-based,and activity-based way.

Seminar, SWS: 2, Max. Teilnehmer: 45 Oldehus, Anna-Lena

Di wöchentl. 16:00 - 18:00 09.04.2019 - 20.07.2019 1502 - 609Kommentar In this theory class we will read and work with texts developed in the field of Affect

Studies. Affect Theory has established itself as a burgeoning area in academia and

beyond after emerging during the second half of the 20th century as a response toapproaches such as (post)structuralism. As a transdisciplinary intellectual field, itconsolidates ideas and approaches from anthropology, gender and queer studies,cultural studies, geography, psychology, and philosophy. The field elicits conversationsabout the location of affect, the epistemological and ontological difference betweenemotions, feelings, moods, sentiments etc., and it considers historical and political

Sommer 2019 4


conceptions of affect. Therefore, this field is also concerned with experiences ofknowledge other than conscious and intellectual knowing and challenges normativeunderstandings of knowledge production and circulation.

Readings in this class will range from foundational texts by Silvan Tomkins, Eve KosofskySedgwick, and Brian Massumi to more specific considerations of Sara Ahmed, HeatherLove, and Lauren Berlant.

This class is specifically designed for students interested in and enjoying reading andtalking theory.

became an academic discipline and cut itself off from amateur descriptions of foreigncultures written by travelers and missionaries. We shall then move forward to the

second half of the 20th century, when the decolonization of the ‘Third World’ upset thetraditional relations between the subjects and objects of ethnography, leading to a crisisof conscience in Western cultural anthropology. Some researchers dealt with this crisis byreaching for fictional and autobiographical modes of writing.

We shall look for the characteristic features of ethnography in fiction, and for elementsof novelistic narration in ethnography. The reading list includes several classicethnographies by such authors as Bronislaw Malinowski and Margaret Mead, as well asmore hybrid and experimental types of cultural description, including autoethnography,the ethnographic novel, and anti-ethnography. Traditional and experimental ethnographicfootage, and documentaries about ethnographer’s lives will provide additionalillustrations.

case study of Veronica Mars (2004-2007, 2014, 2019), a network series that wasrecently revived as a crowdfunded movie and an upcoming Hulu-mini series. The showepitomizes television’s move ‘from network to Netflix’ in times of media convergence andits gradual shift from a network-based medium directed at broad and heterogeneousmass audiences into a diversified digital medium consumed by ‘active’ niche audiences.Through a close analysis of Veronica Mars , this class will also familiarize students withU.S. television’s production and reception contexts as well as the concepts and tools toanalyze its serial, visual, and narrative aesthetics.

In this course, we will consider the history andliterature of the US university, particularly in terms of its transnational origins (especiallyin terms of German and English structures of higher education) and its convoluted andever-changing relationship to power. A number of specific moments that we will discussinclude the origins of university degrees in the humanities toward the end of the 1900s,the advent of interdisciplinary programs such as Black Studies and Women’s Studiesdepartments in the 1960s and 1970s, and the increasing corporatization of the universityin the United States today.

Di wöchentl. 12:00 - 14:00 09.04.2019 - 20.07.2019 1502 - 703Kommentar In this seminar we will study queer representations of gender, desire, and attachment in

American short stories published before the emergence of homo- and heterosexualityas a binary opposition, and before the rise of gay and lesbian emancipatory movements.The choice of the short story form is not accidental: as Axel Nissen and ChristopherLooby point out, the short story is somewhat queer on account of its marginal positionin relation to the dominant literary form – the novel. The short story has been Americanwriters’ favorite form for telling stories about things odd and marginal – things thatdeviated from the social norm, that were unspeakable in the dominant discourse, yettoo disturbing to pass over in silence. Neither is the time period covered by the course

accidental. Towards the end of the 19th century, non-normative genders and sexualitieswere medicalized, categorized, and then politicized. Sexuality became a subject ofheated public debates, setting off waves of homophobia or even homohysteria (EricAnderson), as a result of which many practices hitherto seen as unremarkable weretabooed. Reaching back in time, we therefore discover literature that documents asurprisingly wide spectrum of gender enactments and sexual practices. Among theauthors covered in this course are such canonical figures as Herman Melville, MarkTwain, Henry James, Gertrude Stein, and Willa Cather, as well as less familiar andanonymous writers.

Transgression: Counterculture and its Influence on Fashion

Di wöchentl. 10:00 - 12:00 09.04.2019 - 20.07.2019 1502 - 703Kommentar “Many things, developments, and changes begin in the dark [...]”. (Carl Abrahamsson)

This course explores the complex interrelation between the main protagonists of varioussubcultural scenes and their subtle influence on the fashion world. We will be concernedwith the ways in which the underground scene is constantly challenging conventionalideas of identity, gender, desire, beauty, and power from past eras until today.

Especially the time between the late 1960s until the end of the 1980s with people likeAndy Warhol, David Bowie, Leigh Bowery, Sid Vicious, Annie Lennox or Grace Jones,to name the most famous, shaped gender roles and youth cultures with revolutionaryconcepts of new looks and life styles that became popular fashion later on.

So how do we perceive counterculture and fashion today? How do we define ourselvesin times of social media, globalization, and a growing right-wing populism? A new decadethat Olivier Zahm, the publisher of Purple Fashion Magazine , defines as: “irrational looks,romantic illusions, radical honesty, immediate intimacy with strangers, gender free dream,

Sommer 2019 7


playful fetishism, ultra hardcore attitudes, myriad poses, and the constant digital hide andseek.”

We will examine these socio-cultural issues through literature, philosophy, film, and popand fashion culture.

Even in Germany, Shakespeare’s status as a canonicalplaywright is reaffirmed constantly through stage and movie adaptations and throughhis central position in teaching English, both at school and university. The aim of thisadvanced class will be to read Shakespeare’s plays in the context of Gender Studiesand Cultural Materialism in order to investigate constructions of gender and class in hisfamous comedies and tragedies. After discussing the historical, cultural and politicalcontexts of Elizabethan drama (based on previous knowledge from BritF2/F3), we shallanalyse and interpret selected texts of Shakespeare’s oeuvre (using the categories ofliterary analysis from AmerBritF1). Beginning with selected sonnets, we shall then turnto two plays in detail, namely Much Ado About Nothing and King Lear .

The Gothic in British Literature


Mo wöchentl. 12:00 - 14:00 08.04.2019 - 20.07.2019 1502 - 703Kommentar Since its emergence in the late 18th century, the Gothic has proved one of the most

productive modes in English-speaking literature. In this advanced class, we shall readtwo major representatives of the genre, namely Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto (1764), arguably the first British Gothic novel, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818).Using the terminology from AmerBritF1, we shall consider the genre conventions of gothicnovels, and analyse them in terms of their (Gothic) characters, plots, and settings. Apartfrom this narratological and structuralist approach, we shall use historical and culturalknowledge from the lecture series (BritF2) to consider how these texts negotiate issuesconnected with the emergent middle classes, but also gender, sexuality and imperialism.

Mo wöchentl. 16:00 - 18:00 08.04.2019 - 20.07.2019 1502 - 703Kommentar Virginia Woolf is a major twentieth-century novelist and essayist and a key figure in

literary history as a feminist and a modernist. This seminar is designed for students whowant to study Woolf's distinctive and innovative narrative style through the critical lens ofGender Studies. Drawing on the knowledge gained in the BritF2 Survey lecture, we willstart with an exploration of the historical, cultural and political contexts of Woolf's fictionaland non-fictional writing. We will apply the analytical terms and concepts acquired in theAmerBritF1 Introduction to examine Woolf's essay "Modern Fiction" (1919) and excerpts

Sommer 2019 9


from her feminist manifesto A Room of One's Own (1929) as well as selected shortstories. Our discussion will move on to her playfully subversive novel Orlando (1928) andits 1992 film adaptation (dir.: Sally Potter). Orlando centres on a chameleonic characterwho changes sex and identity on a whim on his/her journey through three centuries andwho ends up as a woman writer in Woolf's own time. Throughout the seminar, studentsare encouraged to explore how the various theoretical approaches of Gender Studies canbe made productive for analysing and interpreting these texts whose historically situatedcodes and conventions will be our central focus.




Please get hold of Virginia Woolf's Orlando in a well-annotated edition (Oxford World'sClassics or Penguin Classics) and read the novel prior to class. All other primary andsecondary material will be provided in a reader available from Copyshop Stork and onStud.IP at the beginning of the term.

LingA1Deutsch und Englisch im Vergleich und im Kontrast – English and German in Comparison andContrast

Seminar, SWS: 2 Diewald, Gabriele| Schulze, Rainer

Di wöchentl. 10:00 - 12:00 09.04.2019 - 20.07.2019 1502 - 103Kommentar This advanced seminar aims to give an overview of the most important structural

differences between English and German. It will reconsider some issues alreadydiscussed in earlier introductory classes (e.g. Introduction to Linguistics ), albeit froma decidedly different point of view. We will explore how the basic structural differencesbetween English and German are related to each other. The focus of this seminar willtherefore be on clusters or bundles of contrast, each of which can be derived from afundamental structural difference between the two languages. The overarching objective,then, will be to show how it is possible to bring order to the large variety of superficiallyunrelated contrasts between English and German which, after all, are two otherwiseclosely related languages. Thus, we will take a bird’s-eye view of the two languages: thetask will be to work out their most essential characteristics and trace back our findingsconcerning what they have and have not in common to general tendencies amongthe world’s languages. One crucial insight is going to be that many of the differencesbetween English and German are not restricted to these two languages, but representmore general contrasts between languages which – like English and German – representdifferent language types. Along these lines, we will have to restrict ourselves to a fewselect phonetic and phonological, morphological, grammatical, syntactic, pragmaticand/or semantic issues: agreement, analytic, blending of constructions, case system,(pseudo-) cleft, final devoicing, focus particle, fused constructions, gerund, grammaticalrelation, grammaticalisation, interference types (substitution, over-/underspecification,over-/underrepresentation), loose-fit language, markedness, modal particle, passiveconstruction, predicate-argument structure, preposition stranding, raising construction,semantic roles of subjects and objects, synthetic, theme and rheme, tight-fit language,transfer, transitive construction, transparency, verb-phrase contrasts, word order, andword stress.

Seminar, SWS: 2, Max. Teilnehmer: 25 Schulze, Rainer

Di wöchentl. 16:00 - 18:00 09.04.2019 - 20.07.2019Kommentar This advanced seminar will explain and explore a broad range of concepts, including

metaphor, metonymy, simile, and blending and will offer tools for analysing them. Itwill coherently ground the linguistic understanding of these concepts in basic cognitivemechanisms such as categorisation, frames, mental spaces, and viewpoint.

Figurative language is becoming an increasingly popular area of study, as it is relevantto the work of semanticists, pragmatists, discourse analysts, and also those workingat the interface of language and literature, and in other disciplines such as philosophyand psychology. This seminar therefore intends to provide a summary, critique, andcomparison of the most important theories on how figurative language is used andunderstood, drawing on research from linguistics, psychology, and other disciplines. Inorder to ground the discussion in actual language use, the seminar will use examplesfrom discourse, including casual conversation, political speeches, literature, humour,religion, and science.

Mo wöchentl. 16:00 - 18:00 08.04.2019 - 20.07.2019 1502 - 709Kommentar In this seminar, we will offer a wide-ranging empirical investigation of word use and

meaning in language. The seminar will fill the need for a lexically based, corpus-driven theoretical approach that will help students understand how words go togetherin collocational patterns and constructions to make meanings. Using a plethora ofconcordance lines from corpora and other texts, we will show how matching each useof a word against established contextual patterns plays a large part in determiningthe meaning of a sentence or utterance. We will also take into account the immensevariability of everyday usage that will show that this variability is rule-governed rather thanrandom. By studying words in context, we will be able to identify the ‘normal’ patternsof usage that are associated with each pattern. Thereby, and this will be one of themain findings in this seminar, lexical entropy (i.e. lack of order or predictability) can bereduced. The contents of this class will complement other theoretical approaches tolanguage, including cognitive linguistics, construction grammar, priming theory, andpattern grammar.

dissertation remains. This seminar will introduce first-time thesis-writers to the processof writing up (non-) empirical research. To help students understand what content andstructure are appropriate for the different parts of a thesis, we will present a range ofoptions, illustrating them with analyses of and commentary on sections from our ownresearch or from real Bachelor or Masters Theses in English linguistics. We will especiallyfocus on the major problems encountered by Germans writing in English. These problemswill include overall text organisation, academic text conventions (style sheet!), sentenceconstruction, idiomatic phrasing, argumentation and style, and, not to forget: proper oralpresentation. We will also address major prerequisites for doing research, i.e. choosingan area, getting organised, using resources, doing theory-only projects, setting up data-based research, avoiding plagiarism, etc.

Students will be given ample chance to present their own preliminary findings…
