- Inhalt:
- This seminar explores two popular kinds of fiction of the fin de siècle, the (masculinist) colonial adventure romance and New Woman prose fiction. One conventionally pits a culturally dominant male protagonist against the powerful vestiges of an earlier human history, and the other a professional woman against equally powerful, restrictive social conventions and ideological beliefs – often the very same that sustain the cultural dominance of the male hero of adventure romances. Despite such differences, however, both kinds of fiction are intricately connected. As popular ‘sub-genres’, they developed in relation to each other (they revolve around each other as ‘twin stars’ do, according to L. M. Richardson). They also share many common features: New Woman fiction adopts themes, tropes and modes of story telling from colonial adventure romance, and the latter adopts domestic discourses to represent imperial practices. In this seminar, we will study how both, adventure romance and the New Woman fiction, represent and negotiate similar late-Victorian cultural debates about gender, empire, (d)evolution and much more – and how they differ and diverge in their politics.The seminar will be accompanied by an interdisciplinary lecture series on current issues in gender studies (participation is optional) organized by the recently established FAU Center for Studies in Gender, Difference and Diversity.It is essential that all students read and reflect upon the texts before each class. All participants are expected to enroll for a short oral presentation. A course syllabus, a bibliography and additional material will be made available online at the beginning of the semester.

MA Literaturstudien – intermedial und interkulturell: Modul 4
- Inhalt:
- Victorian gender roles have become stereotyped: modern critics tend to overemphasize the binary model of sex and gender, neglecting the differences between the various approaches within Victorian discourses on gender, sex and sexuality. In this class, we will trace the complexities of Victorian attitudes towards gender by having a close look at a range of representations, including literary texts (novel,fantasy fiction, fairy tale, poetry) and visual media (printed images,photography, paintings). Topics to be discussed will include: the psychology of female writing; the intersection of gender and class; depictions of the fe/male body; gender, power and desire; ‘deviant’ masculinities.
The seminar will be accompanied by an interdisciplinary lecture series on current issues in gender studies (participation is optional!) organized by the recently established FAU Center for Studies in Gender, Difference and Diversity.
It is essential that all students read and reflect upon the texts before each class. All participants are expected to enroll for a short oral presentation. A course syllabus, a bibliography and additional material will be made available on lineat the beginning of the semester.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Texts: Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre; R.L. Stevenson, Jekyll and Hyde; Oscar Wilde, “The Happy Prince”; Christina Rossetti, “Goblin Market”; Robert Browning, “My Last Duchess”.

To Stranger Shores: Travel and Island Motifs in Literature and Film -
- Dozent/in:
- Silvia Gerlsbeck
- Angaben:
- Proseminar, 2 SWS
- Termine:
- Mi, 12:15 - 13:45, C 601
- Inhalt:
- The motif of travel and the discovery of desert islands have been prominent in literature ever since Homer’s epos The Odyssey. Islands function as significant spaces in fiction, art and film - not only as scenic locations, but also literary devices that shape narratives. The journeys of the protagonists, their arrivals in new spaces and engagements with others consequently lead to an inevitable exploration and re-fashioning of their sense of self. Looking at these semantically charged places as aesthetic concepts, gendered spaces or places of experimentation also invites reading the texts through the lenses of e.g. gender studies or postcolonial theory, as is attempted in this seminar. We will focus on travel and island motifs from the Renaissance until today as portrayed in literature and film; works discussed will be William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, Caryl Phillips’ Cambridge as well as Danny Boyle’s movie The Beach and Robert Zemecki’s Cast Away.
