none

Inhalt:

The module consists of a lecture and a seminar. 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 skills acquired during their first degree, students will further develop their skills in key areas of con-temporary Cultural Studies. This will prepare them for the research they will carry out independently from their second semester onwards.

In particular students will

• be able to revise and expand their knowledge about the theory and methodology of contemporary Cultural Studies

• enhance their skills of cultural analysis and thus develop their (inter)cultural competence as a key competence in the humanities and social sciences

• rethink traditional notions of ‘culture’ and critically reflect on aspects of media and/or performance, which will also allow them to analyse and reconsider a wide range of aspects of professional life and everyday culture

Literatur:

Reading lists vary; texts are made available via StudOn and/or the departmental library.

Organisatorisches:

This module concludes with a 20-30-minute oral exam conducted in English (40001).
