Inhalt:

Both courses are interconnected and aim to provide a firm grounding in contemporary cultural theory, based on an informed understanding of the historical development of the various strands of that theory. The first course, a seminar, focuses more specifically on theoretical debates, concepts, and terms, and it tutors students in the independent application on core topics of modern Cultural Studies. In this course students are also required to give an oral presentation. The second course, a lecture, complements the syllabus of the first course: it revises and develops methodological skills and it also provides relevant contextualization. Depending on the core topic, the course explores • historical and cultural contexts, • key academic debates, • interdisciplinary links between cultural and literary theory.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

On the basis of the knowledge and the skills imparted in the BA-degree programme, the module seeks to further develop students’ skills in key areas of contemporary Cultural Studies. The chief objective of this module is to prepare students for the research they will carry out independently from their second semester onwards. The module is also designed to help students in the following areas: • Knowledge and Understanding: The module allows students to revise and expand knowledge about the theory and methodology of Contemporary Cultural Studies. • Transferable Skills: It enhances students’ skills of cultural analysis and develops a key competence in the humanities and social sciences – (inter)cultural competence. By expanding traditional notions of ‘culture’ and by stressing its media or performative aspect, the module helps students describe and analyse large parts of professional life and everyday culture.
