Inhalt:

The Master-Course is designed to provide a very detailed examination, contextualization and discussion of: • either a group of discourses from selected cultural fields (e.g. the arts, science, politics, religion, etc) that have been filtered through various media and institutions – and the theoretical concepts and methods needed for their analysis, • or a theoretical concept, approach, or critical theory – and its (historically specific) application. At this stage of their degree programme, students will be expected to conduct substantial amounts of independent and self-reliant work in the seminar. They will also be trained in presenting and defending the findings of their research. In the second course, a seminar, students will read and discuss current scholarship conducted in the field. This course also offers additional language skills such as conversation and presentation skills that especially address the needs of MA-students. The seminar includes a presentation of an academic paper in
