none

Inhalt:

The Intensive Seminar consists of three interconnected courses which aim to provide a firm grounding in contemporary cultural and literary analysis – particularly for students who did not take a BA in English and American Studies at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.

The two seminars focus on cultural and literary concepts and terms respectively. They tutor students in the independent application of central methods of modern Cultural and Literary Studies.

A study group complements the syllabus of the first two courses: it deepens methodological skills and provides relevant contextualization. The courses expand on and deepen students’ knowledge and skills in

• literary and cultural analysis and methodology

• key approaches to culture and literature

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 and Literary Studies. This will prepare students 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 of the theory and methodology of Contemporary Cultural and Literary Studies.

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

• expand traditional notions of ‘culture’ and ‘literature’ will help students deepen their analytical expertise

Literatur:

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