Basisvorlesung: Principles of English Linguistics [AE_VLLing]

Dozent/in:
Thomas Herbst
Angaben:
Vorlesung, 1 SWS
Termine:
Mo, 17:15 - 18:00, Kl. Hörsaal
Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
Modulzugehörigkeit
  • BA English and American Studies (neu): Basismodul II Linguistics. (Keine Zulassungsvoraussetzung; empfohlen nach dem Besuch des GS)

  • Lehramt Englisch an Gymnasien (neu): Basismodul II Linguistics. (Keine Zulassungsvoraussetzung; empfohlen nach dem Besuch des GS)


Der Besuch der Vorlesung wird im zweiten Semester (d.h. erst nach dem Besuch des Grundseminars English Linguistics I) empfohlen. Die Veranstaltung wird im Rahmen der Klausuren der Aufbauseminare mit abgeprüft.

Inhalt:
Die linguistische Basisvorlesung befasst sich mit prinzipiellen und zentralen Fragen der Betrachtung der englischen Sprache. Dabei geht es sowohl um die Diskussion grundsätzlicher Positionen und Methoden der modernen Linguistik als auch um die Darstellung besonders charakteristischer Eigenschaften des Englischen. Einige dieser Eigenschaften finden sich tatsächlich in allen Sprachen der Welt, andere nur in Sprachen der gleichen Herkunft oder des gleichen Typs, wieder andere resultieren aus den Bedingungen des Kontakt mit anderen Sprachen oder aus der sozialen Organisation. Die einstündige Vorlesung wird sich mit einer Auswahl solcher grundlegender Eigenschaften des Gegenwartsenglischen und seiner Vorstufen befassen.

Grundseminar, 2 SWS
Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
Modulzugehörigkeit

  • Lehramt Englisch an Gymnasien: Basismodul II Linguistics. (Keine Zulassungsvoraussetzung)

  • Lehramt Englisch an Grund-, Haupt- und Realschulen: Elementarmodul L-UF Linguistics. (Keine Zulassungsvoraussetzung)


Scheinerwerb: Klausur

Inhalt:
Die Linguistik hat die wissenschaftliche Erforschung der Sprache zum Gegenstand. Das Grundseminar English Linguistics I soll im Verbund mit dem Aufbauseminar und der Basisvorlesung (außer L-UF) einen Überblick über wesentliche Aspekte des Fachgebiets, über Herangehensweisen und Forschungsansätze geben. Dabei geht es um Fragen wie die folgenden:
  • Wie lässt sich die Struktur der Sprache beschreiben? Zum Beispiel: Wie werden verschiedene Laute gebildet, welche Funktion haben Laute für die Kommunikation? Wie sind Wörter, wie sind Sätze aufgebaut?

  • Wie verwenden Menschen Sprache? Wie unterscheidet sich die Sprache verschiedener Menschen, warum unterscheiden sich Menschen in ihrer Sprache? Warum und wie verändert sich Sprache?

  • Was ist die Aufgabe der Sprachwissenschaft? Gibt es richtiges und falsches Englisch? Woher weiß man (gegebenenfalls), was richtiges Englisch ist?

Wie können (eventuell) so gewonnene Erkenntnisse für das Lehren und Lernen einer Sprache genutzt werden? Gibt es bessere und schlechtere Grammatiken und Wörterbücher, und wie merkt man das?
Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme an einem Grundkurs zur Sprachwissenschaft sind fundierte englische Sprachkenntnisse. Der Kurs selbst findet in englischer Sprache statt und schließt mit einer Klausur ab.

  • Lehramt Englisch an Grund-, Haupt- und Realschulen (neu): Seminarmodul L-UF Linguistics. (Zulassungsvoraussetzung: Elementarmodul Linguistics)


Scheinerwerb: Referat + Hausarbeit

Inhalt:
Comparing (some of) the 5000-7000 languages that are spoken today shows that even though most languages probably serve similar purposes, we are confronted with a high degree of variation in terms of linguistic structure and grammar. One question that emerges from this is the following: Which extra-linguistic factors can we identify to shape grammar? In other words: Which factors can account for the attested linguistic variation across languages?
This class will first introduce language typology, positioning the properties of English and similar European languages in relation to other languages of the world. The second and main part of this class will then discuss different factors that have been shown to influence grammar and linguistic structures in a systematic way. Topics included are:
adaptation
  • Why are there different languages? The role of adaptation in linguistic diversity (Lupyan & Dale 2016)

  • Understanding the origins of morphological diversity: The linguistic niche hypothesis (Dale & Lupyan 2012)

sociolinguistic factors

  • Social factors and linguistic processes in the emergence of stable mixed languages (Thomason 2003)

  • Cultural constraints on grammar and cognition in Pirahã: Another look at the design features of human language (Everett 2005)

  • Context, culture, and structuration in the languages of Australia (Evans 2003)

  • Language structure is partly determined by social structure (Lupyan & Dale 2010)

  • The consequences of talking to strangers: Evolutionary corollaries of socio-cultural influences on linguistic form (Wray & Grace 2007)

the influence of literacy, writing, and standardisation

  • Orality versus literacy as a dimension of complexity (Maas 2009)

  • Clause combining in Otomi before and after contact with Spanish (Bakker & Hekking 2012)

  • Are There Linguistic Consequences of Literacy? Comparing the Potentials of Language Use in Speech and Writing (Biber 2009)

  • Language standardization and language change: The dynamics of Cape Dutch (Deumert 2004)

ecological factors

  • Linguistic diversity and the first settlement of the New World (Nichols 1990)

  • Types of spread zones (Nichols 2015)

  • A full-scale test of the language farming dispersal hypothesis

  • Warm climates and sonority classes: Not simply more vowels and fewer consonants (Munroe et al. 2009)

  • Evidence for direct geographic influences on linguistic sounds: The case of ejectives (Everett 2013)

  • Climate, vocal folds, and tonal languages: Connecting the physiological and geographic dots (Everett et al. 2015)

  • Languages in drier climates use fewer vowels (Everett 2017)

  • The ecological drivers of variation in global language diversity (Hua et al. 2019)

  • Lehramt Englisch an Grund-, Haupt- und Realschulen (neu): Seminarmodul L-UF Linguistics. (Zulassungsvoraussetzung: Elementarmodul Linguistics)


Scheinerwerb: Referat + Hausarbeit

Inhalt:
Why is it that, when learning a language other than our native language (L2), some of its sounds are so difficult for us to perceive and produce correctly? And why do most of us still retain a noticeable foreign-sounding accent when we speak in an L2, even after years and years of instruction and extensive exposure to said L2? In this proseminar, we will try to find an answer to these questions while we focus on a linguistic situation that should be quite common here in Erlangen; that of native German speakers who learn English as an L2. We will quickly review the basic foundations of phonetics and phonology, try to anticipate the potential difficulties of German learners of English by means of contrastive phonological analysis, read about how these difficulties have been examined in scientific research using acoustic and behavioral measures, and even gain insights on how to conduct an experiment ourselves. Most importantly, we will also discuss the consequences that difficulties with specific L2 sounds (e.g., the initial sound of the words think and thief) have on the different levels of processing and representation involved in spoken communication (e.g. phonological, lexical, semantic).

HS CASA - The new approach to syntactic analysis [AE_HSCASA]

Dozent/in:
Thomas Herbst
Angaben:
Hauptseminar, 2 SWS
Termine:
Mo, 10:15 - 11:45, C 601
Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
Modulzugehörigkeit
  • BA English and American Studies: Hauptmodul A (auf Anfrage!)

  • Lehramt Englisch an Gymnasien: Hauptmodul L-Gym Linguistics

  • MA English Studies: Modul 9 Linguistics and language teaching

  • MA Linguistik: Modul 2/3 Applied and descriptive linguistics

Inhalt:
Construction Grammar has proven itself to be a very fruitful model for the description of language and language learning. However, it has not yet managed to establish itself as the model of linguistic description on which foreign language teaching is based, although first steps in this direction have been taken (De Knop & Gilquin 2016, Herbst 2016, and Boas forthc. 2020). This may partly be due to the fact that, in Germany, for instance, in university teaching Construction Grammar is (at best) presented as a model of linguistics, but is not being used for actual language teaching or syntactic analysis. It is absolutely essential that language students – and prospective foreign language teachers – should be introduced to the basic insights of cognitive linguistics and Construction Grammar and be shown in what ways this model is superior to previous approaches, especially traditional grammar. In this seminar, we intend to outline the basic principles of a constructionist approach to syntactic analysis (CASA) which aims to do precisely that (Herbst & Hoffmann 2018).
We will discuss
  • the types of constructions we identify (declarative-‘statement’ cx, past tense cx, argument structure constructions, premodifier constructions, etc.),

  • the format of presentation, in particular the formal, functional and semantic categories as well as collo-profiles that we are using, and outline

  • how the various constructions that can be identified in an expression (the construct) can be represented in the form of a construction grid.

Particular emphasis will be put on the question of how constructions combine, where we shall argue that the concept of blending (Fauconnier & Turner 2006) can be applied to syntactic theory.
No previous knowledge of Construction Grammar is required!
The idea of the seminar is to try out a new model of syntactic analysis, which may at some stage be used in Staatsexamen. Help us develop something really useful!

  • Lehramt Englisch an Gymnasien: Hauptmodul.

The workload for this class comprises reading tasks on a weekly basis and assignments. Further you will be asked to either prepare a group presentation to provide background information for plenary discussions or to chair such discussions.

Inhalt:
"Some consider that Scots is simply a northerly dialect of English. Others assert that it is a language in its own right, as distinct from English as Dutch is distinct from German, with its own oral and literary heritage. What is the truth of the matter?" (A. J. Aitken. 1985. "Is Scots a Language?". English Today (1), 1)
In this class, we will discuss the "truth of the matter" regarding the complex status of Scots from various angles. Scots in its different manifestations can be placed on a continuum with broad Scots on one end and Scottish Standard English (SSE) on the other. Historically, however, Scots and Scottish Standard English derive from different varieties of English. Thus, in order to address the status of Present-Day Scots, it is important to consider its development and its interconnectedness with different varieties of English throughout its history.
We will do so by examining the phonological, morphological, syntactical and lexical characteristics of Scots and SSE in contradistinction to Standard British English from both a diachronic and a synchronic perspective, as represented in a variety of texts both from historical and Present-Day Scots. A special focus will be placed on the discussion of some of the research on Scots that has been done in recent years.

Scheinerwerb: gemäß Prüfungsordnung.

Inhalt:
In this course, we examine the outcome of second language acquisition in various areas (phonology, lexis, grammar) and some of the reasons for individual differences in the outcomes. We also critically evaluate the wide-spread belief that children are better language learners than adults. As you will see, this is not always the case. In instructional settings, older learners learn more efficiently than children; and even in immersion settings, adults do very well in some areas. On the other hand, it is true that late L2 learners typically do not acquire native-like levels of proficiency, and we examine various explanations for this (critical period for language learning, first language interference, quantity and quality of input, motivation).

Die Sitzungen am 29.4., 6.5. und 13.5.20 müssen entfallen und werden im Rahmen eines Blocktermins am Samstag, 13.6.20, 10-16:30 nachgeholt.

Scheinerwerb: Klausur

Inhalt:
In the Middle English period, commonly seen as stretching from the 12th to the 15th century, the English language is undergoing considerable changes: From a Modern English speaker’s point of view, the earliest texts from that period seem to be written in a foreign language, while later Middle English texts, such as those by Geoffrey Chaucer, are by and large easily understood.
In this class, you will become familiar with the most important phonological, morphological, lexical, syntactic and dialectal features of Middle English as well as their origin and further development. This will provide you with a better understanding of (ir)regularities and characteristics of today’s English. For example: the discrepancy between spelling and writing (e.g. <ee> for /i:/ as in see /si:/), irregular forms such as the plural form mice (instead of mouses) or the irregular verb forms ride-rode-ridden, the fixed word order SVO or the origin of the wealth of synonyms in English (e.g. kingly, royal, regal).
The class also involves intensive reading and translation of a text by Chaucer as well as shorter excerpts from other – earlier and later – Middle English works.

  • comparison of the types of errors that L1 and L2 learners of English make

  • trace the syntactic and/or lexical development of individual L1 speakers or of a group of L2 speakers

  • compare the lexical / syntactic properties of L1 and L2 speakers with comparable amounts of input of English

PS British Romanticism [AE_PSBRom]

Proseminar, 2 SWS

  • Lehramt Englisch an Gymnasien: Zwischenmodul L-GYM Literature

  • BA English and American Studies: Zwischenmodul II Literature

  • BA English and American Studies: Zwischenmodul II Culture


Scheinerwerb: Hausarbeit

Inhalt:
Many contemporary cultural concepts, e.g. the notion of literature as an expression of an author's unique emotions, the idea of childhood as a state of innocence and the understanding of nature as a realm that facilitates self-recognition and pleasure, derive from Romanticism, an artistic movement that prevailed in Europe from the late eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century. Following the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, the Romantics challenged rationalism and industrialisation by emphasising spontaneity, emotions and individualism. In this seminar, we will take a closer look at this period by examining selected poetry and prose of the so-called 'Big Six' (William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron), of various female writers (e.g. Charlotte Smith and Mary Shelley) and of lesser-known authors (e.g. John Clare). We will also analyse and contextualise examples of visual and material culture and scrutinise which different roles gender, class, race and age play during the period. Among the literary works that we will discuss in this seminar are Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads (1798) and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818).

"Come Buy! Come Buy!" - this line from Christina Rossetti's poem Goblin Market might represent 19th-century consumer culture as well as the consumer society of our modern day. In this seminar we will look into the historical context of consumer culture in Britain and the development of advertising.
We will analyse a selection of advertisements from the 19th, 20th and 21st century. Our main focus will lie on the representation of gender. How are myths created? Which (hidden) ideological projects can be detected? How are gender ideals represented? Is there a change in the representation of gender stereotypes and identities? The sources will come from a wide range of literary and non-literary material.

Students must write a Hausarbeit of 10 to 12 pages.

Inhalt:
We will look at a selection of texts from the anthology by Cox and Gilbert (see below). There will be two main points of emphasis. On the one hand, we will examine these stories as examples of a genre, so we will explore some concepts in genre theory, especially those elaborated by the Russian formalists. On the other, we will examine them as instances of a tradition, and here we will turn to Marxist theories of literature as a source of inspiration. But there will alo be plenty of time to discuss other matters of the ghostly kind.

  • Lehramt Englisch an Grund-, Haupt- und Realschulen: Zwischenmodul L-UF Literature (Zulassungsvoraussetzung: Elementarmodul Literature)

Inhalt:
In this seminar, we will focus on the English history of utopian and dystopian writing. After analysing Thomas Morus’s Utopia (1516), we will study Sir Francis Bacon’s utopian concept of science in New Atlantis (1627). Whereas these early texts may be looked upon as ‘utopias of space’, a shift towards ‘utopias of time can be discovered in the second half of the 19th Century, among them William Morris’s News from Nowhere (1890) and H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine (1895). Towards the 20th Century, the descriptions of other unknown worlds reveal a dystopian nature. In class we will read three classical negative utopias: George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1931), and Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange (1962). The seminar will end with a discussion of Kazuo Ishiguro’s dystopian novel Never Let Me Go (2005).

Scheinerwerb: mündl. Präsentation mit Thesenpapier (20 %) Inhalt

Inhalt:
Dieses Seminar setzt sich das Ziel, die vielfältigen Entwicklungslinien narrativer und expositorischer Texte von 1650 bis 1800 nachzuzeichnen. Nach einer kurzen Beschäftigung mit John Bunyans The Pilgrim’s Progress (1678) soll am Beispiel von Daniel Defoes Moll Flanders (1722) versucht werden, das neue Realismuskonzept der Romanliteratur im Kontext des "Augustan Age" zu analysieren. Vor der Folie der Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes gilt es anschließend, sich durch die Lektüre von Henry Fieldings Joseph Andrews (1742) mit der Vorstellung des Romans als eines "komischen Epos in Prosa" ("comic epic-poem in prose") vertraut zu machen. Die zunehmende Psychologisierung des Genres wird dann exemplarisch an Samuel Richardsons Pamela (1740) und an ausgewählten Kapiteln aus Clarissa (1748) verdeutlicht werden. Gegen Ende des Seminars steht die Analyse sentimentaler und gothischer Gattungskonstituenten auf dem Plan, die mit Bezugnahme auf Laurence Sternes A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy (1768) und William Beckfords Vathek (1786) vorgestellt werden sollen. Zusätzlich zu den fiktionalen Texten werden auch ausgesuchte expositorische Texte auf dem Programm stehen.

Inhalt:
The literature of English modernism is characterised by a desire to express new forms of perception: it experiments with narrative voices, reverses external action inward and presents 'reality' as an unreliable subjective narrative. Modernist storytelling alienates the surface of everyday life, but it also makes it permeable and reveals challenges regarding self-conception and the sense of belonging. Traveling and exploring 'foreign' countries as well as urban life in European cities and bourgeois family relationships serve as symbolic cultural spaces in these new modes of representation. Joseph Conrad is a pioneer in the field of unreliable storytelling; through his much-discussed novella, we will venture into the abysses of Western 'civilization' and of the human psyche. With Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, we will devote our attention to a milestone in the development of the stream-of-consciousness novel; the desires and anxieties affecting the characters' minds are symptomatic of larger conflicts in British culture after World War I. In sharp snapshots, Katherine Mansfield, the virtuoso 'master' of the modernist short story, presents images of restricted behaviors as well as of repressed conflicts, but also of fleeting moments of understanding, in which the effects of social alienation and self-estrangement are revealed.

  • MA Literaturstudien - intermedial und interkulturell (Anglistik als Kernfach): Modul 9 Aufbaumodul

Inhalt:
The works and lives of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë continue to fascinate readers all over the world. In fact, the sisters have become a profitable brand. Every year, numerous people visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, read the latest biographies of the family, watch film and television adaptations of Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and buy modern rewritings of these novels. Many of the sisters' fictional characters have become icons. The Yorkshire moors, the sisters' pseudonyms, their imaginary childhood worlds, their alcoholic brother and their early deaths have fuelled the so-called 'Brontë myth'. One of the aims of this seminar is to deconstruct this influential myth. For this purpose, we will discuss the sisters' poetry and the novels Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights and examine the texts' legacies in contemporary culture and literature. Exploring the concepts of 'transmedia storytelling', 'intertextuality' and 'adaptation' from a theoretically informed perspective, we will deal with (graphic) novels, films, songs and other media that reimagine the Brontës' works and lives. Note that this is a seminar that requires extensive reading. You should be prepared to read several 'bulky books' if you want to attend the seminar.
Empfohlene Literatur:
Please purchase and read the 2006 Penguin Classics edition of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre [ISBN: 9780141441146 - please acquire this edition and no other!] over the term break and be ready to discuss it as our first primary text.

Inhalt:
Ever since the Brexit referendum in 2016, the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union has dominated UK news. Brexit has also seeped into contemporary literature (the term 'Brexlit' was coined as early as 2017) and other cultural productions. In this seminar, we will look at a broad spectrum of texts that tackle the entangled questions of Brexit, British (English?) identity, migration politics in postcolonial Britain, and cultural memory. We will read Ali Smith's Autumn (2017) as a neo-condition-of-England novel, discuss the depiction of (middle) England as the so-called 'ground zero' of Brexit in Adam Thorpe's Missing Fay (2017), analyse the dystopian politics of John Lanchester's The Wall (2019), and the question of (post)colonial migration in Mohsin Hamid's Exit West (2017). In order to complement the Brexlit aspects of this course, we will watch and discuss Stephen Fry's critical Brexit videos (2018, available on YouTube), Joe Wright's neo-historical Darkest Hour (2017), which depicts one of the 'heroic' chapters of British history, and Toby Haynes's Brexit: The Uncivil War (2019, Channel 4) about Boris Johnson's Leave Campaign.
Please note that attending this course entails a comparatively heavy reading load. Primary texts will be supplemented by compulsory secondary texts (available on studOn by mid-April). You should have finished reading at least Ali Smith's Autumn and Adam Thorpe's Missing Fay by the beginning of summer term. Additionally, all course members are expected to join an expert group that is responsible for the structuring of one session.

Inhalt:
Jonathan Swift is one of the most important satirists of the eighteenth century. In this seminar, we will concentrate on his satires written in both prose and verse. After analysing the political satire in Book I and II, the attacks on science in Book III and the concept of Swift's "new anthropology" in Book IV of Gulliver's Travels (1726), we will focus on the complex satirical innuendos of The Battle of the Books (1704), A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument against Abolishing Christianity in England (1708) and A Modest Proposal (1729). Basing our discussions on traditional and contemporary positions of theory we will finally study Swift’s most significant verse satires such as "The Lady's Dressing Room" (1732), "The Beasts' Confession to the Priest" (1732), "A Beautiful Young Nymph Going to Bed" (1734) und "Strephon and Chloe" (1734).

PS Modernisms and Their After-Effects [AE_PSMods]

  • Lehramt Englisch an Grund-, Haupt- und Realschulen: Seminarmodul L-UF Literature (Zulassungsvoraussetzung: Elementarmodul L-UF Literature)

Inhalt:
The term "modernism" appears to be all too familiar. Conventionally "modernism" has been defined as a historical period, roughly ranging from the late nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth century, which encompassed cultural and socio-political productions and movements marked by an investment in experimentation, innovation, transgression, and a break with established traditions, an urge "to make it new" (Ezra Pound). However, numerous critical studies have called into question conventional conceptualizations of these notions. In this seminar we will embark on an inquiry into the complex discourses which have shaped the notion of "modernism", for instance, by scrutinizing how this notion, and the phenomena it is supposed to denote, has been entangled with racialized and gendered social dynamics. We will discuss canonized "modernist" artworks and literary texts in conjunction with artistic and literary works that have thus far been marginalized and excluded from the "modernist" canon.
In addition, we will trace the philosophical underpinnings of "modernist" literature and art and take a closer look at positions from the discourses of psychoanalysis, liberalism, socialism, and others, which significantly influenced "modernist" thinking. In a next step, we will deal with recent critical accounts of "modernism" which problematize monolithic and Eurocentric conceptualizations of "modernism", in the singular, and call for an acknowledgement of a plurality of "modernisms". Finally, we will trace the after-effects and afterlives of "modernist" modes of artistic practice and thinking, in contemporary cultural productions and perhaps in our own internalized concepts of art and culture as well.

Inhalt:
For more than four decades, the Cold War division of the world into two opposing blocks, dominated international politics and its repercussions continue to influence the world even today. The Cold War has not only affected politics, it also fundamentally shaped culture, national identity and mentalities in the United States and elsewhere. From gender norms and family relations, views on technology and development, consumer goods, fashion and design, to the limits and possibilities of political activity and protest, the ideologies of the Cold War permeated every aspect of society and culture. At the same time U.S. efforts of ‘cultural diplomacy’ in the battle for the ‘minds and hearts’ of people worldwide transmitted ‘American culture’ with varying degrees of force throughout the world. In this seminar we will study key aspects of U.S. culture during the Cold War, its transnational impact and reflect on how the legacies of the Cold War still shape the world today.

Inhalt:
Postcolonial studies has been hailed as a radical way to decolonize the academic curriculum and, paradoxically, has been criticized as an elitist theoretical framework that is disconnected from any lived reality.

In this course, we will establish a firm and critical understanding of what postcolonial studies is, and what its critiques consist of, based largely on a body of canonized works. We start from texts by prominent anti-colonial writers on which postcolonial scholars would later rely. These authors include F. Fanon, S. Césaire, and A. Cabral. We examine what their topics and aims were, and we identify possible pitfalls that have become evident in hindsight. We proceed to a canon of postcolonial scholars and their most important or well-known works, including G. Spivak, H. Bhabha, and E. Said. We shall scrutinize their main ideas and will debate how their work is similar to and different from that of the anti-colonial authors, and for what reasons. Consequently, we proceed to the critical reception of postcolonial theory. We discuss the main criticisms of the discipline and we will highlight the aspects that have been predominantly been considered useful, even by critics. Central will be the work of B. Parry and N. Lazarus. Finally, we look at recent ways in which postcolonial studies has been used, reinvented, or recalibrated by shifting concern to topics such as migration, terrorism, or globalization. To do so, we rely on the works of E. Boehmer and D. Kadir. Throughout the course, we shall discuss how to best understand terms related to our topic, including ‘imperialism,’ ‘colonialism,’ ‘modernity,’ and so on.

This course has an emphasis on theoretical works. Nevertheless, we discuss several short stories that have been, or could be, considered ‘postcolonial.’

Inhalt:
Mit dem Ende der schmerzhaften „Era of the Civil War“ (1861-1865) und der nur bedingt erfolgreichen Zeit der „Reconstruction“ (1863-1877) wenden sich die Amerikaner, der internen Auseinandersetzungen müde, dem „Age of Imperialism“ zu. Überzeugt vom eigenen „exceptionalism“, war die Nation nun bereit, den „American way“ nicht nur über den eigenen Kontinent zu stülpen, nun galt es diesen, wenn nötig, auch mit Gewalt in andere Weltteile zu exportieren, um so die Dominanz amerikanischer Ideale und Interessen zu sichern. Das Seminar widmet sich der Aufarbeitung der historischen Phase des „New Imperialism“ (1875 bis1914), sucht aber auch den Vergleich mit seinen moderneren Varianten (cultural imperialism, economic imperialism, usw.), die insbesondere nach 1945 an Bedeutung gewannen.

Inhalt:
Postcolonial studies has been hailed as a radical way to decolonize the academic curriculum and, paradoxically, has been criticized as an elitist theoretical framework that is disconnected from any lived reality.

In this course, we will establish a firm and critical understanding of what postcolonial studies is, and what its critiques consist of, based largely on a body of canonized works. We start from texts by prominent anti-colonial writers on which postcolonial scholars would later rely. These authors include F. Fanon, S. Césaire, and A. Cabral. We examine what their topics and aims were, and we identify possible pitfalls that have become evident in hindsight. We proceed to a canon of postcolonial scholars and their most important or well-known works, including G. Spivak, H. Bhabha, and E. Said. We shall scrutinize their main ideas and will debate how their work is similar to and different from that of the anti-colonial authors, and for what reasons. Consequently, we proceed to the critical reception of postcolonial theory. We discuss the main criticisms of the discipline and we will highlight the aspects that have been predominantly been considered useful, even by critics. Central will be the work of B. Parry and N. Lazarus. Finally, we look at recent ways in which postcolonial studies has been used, reinvented, or recalibrated by shifting concern to topics such as migration, terrorism, or globalization. To do so, we rely on the works of E. Boehmer and D. Kadir. Throughout the course, we shall discuss how to best understand terms related to our topic, including ‘imperialism,’ ‘colonialism,’ ‘modernity,’ and so on.

This course has an emphasis on theoretical works. Nevertheless, we discuss several short stories that have been, or could be, considered ‘postcolonial.’

Inhalt:
With the 2020 presidential election just around the corner, this seminar sets out to examine how the U.S. Presidency figures in civil religious discourse, how it is represented in the media, and how it is imagined in fictional texts. We will analyze political rituals and commemorative practices from the founding fathers to Barack Obama and Donald Trump. We will discuss not only media depictions of presidents (and presidential hopefuls), but also their usage of the dominant media of their time (radio, TV, social media) for self-fashioning and agenda-setting. And, we will examine how popular culture has imagined U.S. Presidents, past, present, and future. Drawing on theories of race, gender, and power as well as on scholarship on public feeling and civil sentimentalism, we will zoom in on case studies ranging from campaign spots to speeches and civil religious events (e.g. inauguration ceremonies) and from protest songs to (auto)biographies and fictional presidents on the big and small screens (e.g. The American President, White House Down, Scandal, The Good Fight).

Inhalt:
The film Black Panther swept across the cinematic landscape in the beginning of 2018. In its first month, it became one of the top earning films of all time, grossing more than any other movie but Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). The shout “Wakanda Forever!” was quickly adopted by fans and activists alike, and scholars raised the question if the movie constituted a cinematic “paradigm shift” (Boyd and Madhubuti 2019). Rather than a new phenomenon, however, Black Panther may have been the apotheosis of a movement that had been gaining an increasing amount of traction with cultural producers, theorists, and consumers: Afrofuturism.

Afrofuturism is broadly understood as a cultural aesthetic or intellectual framework, which relies on futurity to reflect on issues of race, identity, civil rights, and so on. There is no consensus on what the term means precisely. Some have insisted that it is a method for working through the inequalities of the past, while others claim that it is a way to imagine equality in the future (Gbadamosi 2017; Eshun 2017). Some suggest that Afrofuturism has relied on a set of fixed symbols that remains useful until today, in which, for example, the space ship signifies the slave ship and the alien the (racial) ‘Other’ (Hutson 2009). Others claimed that such symbolisms are problematic because “we are not aliens,” and advocate the renewal or rejection of those symbols (Jafa 2016). Recently, commentators argued for discarding the term Afrofuturism altogether in favor of terms such as Africanfuturism (Okorafor 2019).

In this course, we explore the concept of Afrofuturism, the ways the term has been theorized over time, and the products of the cultural imagination with which it has been associated. We start from the work of W.E.B. Du Bois, and will discuss texts by Ralph Ellison, Sun Ra, Octavia Butler, Nnedi Okorafor, and Martine Syms, amongst others. While the emphasis in this course will be on literature, examples from music, film, and the visual arts will play a role in the discussions.

Inhalt:
This course engages with US-American Realist programmatics on a historic scale, tracing it from its nineteenth century beginnings to contemporary engagements with fictional narrative. Class reading will consist of a combination of theoretical writing and fiction (and thus requires a willingness to engage in theoretical debate – if your eyes have glazed over at this point, this class is not for you!). Reaching from Roth and Barthes in the 1960s to Carver, DeLillo, David Foster Wallace, and Alice Munroe, as well as O’Nan, Colson Whitehead and Jennifer Egan, our discussion will tackle questions of narrative and verisimilitude, referentiality and the function of fiction, and the historic faultlines that shape debates over “hysterical realism,” “digimodernism,” or “new sincerity.”
Empfohlene Literatur:
Please acquire and read in advance: Don DeLillo Point Omega, Stewart O’Nan The Odds, and Colson Whitehead The Nickel Boys. A list of additional texts will be published on StudOn.

  • MA Literaturstudien: Modul D (M 4)

Inhalt:
Often regarded a genre preoccupied with the pursuits of the “leisure class,” the novel of manners participates in the poetic experiment of fiction at the end of the 19th century. Writers like Henry James and Edith Wharton explore the novel as a form of fictional ethnography that studies gendered experiences of courtship and marriage, and how narratives of individual affect encode social transactions and economic practices. Practices of social interaction are closely regulated based on class privilege, social and economic status, and especially female protagonists are often painfully aware of the power of gossip and a precariousness of reputation that requires careful management. We will read and discuss narrative texts, contemporaneous theories of fiction as parts of Thorstein Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study in the Evolution of Institutions (1899).

Inhalt:
Nuclear disasters, civil wars, ecological destruction: the narrative dystopia has been exceedingly popular over the last decade and nothing seems to point to the genre’s decline. Yet this was not always so. Dystopian literature and film thrived during the 1930s and during the 1950s, but it declined in the 1960s and remained relatively unpopular until the 1990s. The questions that this raises is how we can understand the narrative dystopia relative to its historical contexts; why do people write/produce dystopias during some moments and not others, what is the work that the narrative dystopia does, and how does it do it? These are the main concerns of this course.

In pursuit of these questions, we shall read and view a large number of dystopian short stories, novels, series, and films, from the 19th to the 21st century. The focus shall be on the way in which social relations are imagined in the dystopian setting. Authors include P.K. Dick, R. Bradbury, A.B. Dodd, and U.K. Le Guin. We will see how the genre may function as a progressive social commentary, a form of exploration of the yet-to-come, and as a way to imagine a living-together with the so-called ‘Other.’ Yet we shall also see how the genre is used for its opposite: to promote the status quo, social segregation, and inequality. We start this course by reviewing the most important and influential debates on narrative dystopia in order to create a thorough familiarity with the way in which scholars, authors, and readers have thought about dystopian works and worlds.

Inhalt:
Intercultural competence is without doubt the central catchword in foreign language teaching in the 21st century. It is unarguable that foreign language learning also involves intercultural learning. Many curricula as well as the educational standards describe the intercultural (communicative) competence as a core objective of the foreign language classroom. This seminar aims to deal with the concept of intercultural learning and teaching. What is intercultural learning and teaching and how is it done?

Inhalt:
Intercultural competence is without doubt the central catchword in foreign language teaching in the 21st century. It is unarguable that foreign language learning also involves intercultural learning. Many curricula as well as the educational standards describe the intercultural (communicative) competence as a core objective of the foreign language classroom. This seminar aims to deal with the concept of intercultural learning and teaching. What is intercultural learning and teaching and how is it done? A closer look will be taken at how the FLC can contribute to raising intercultural awareness within our learners.

Inhalt:
Just like the German language, the English language is characterized by many regional varieties that may be quite different from so-called 'standard' varieties such as RP (Received Pronunciation) or General American. The major purpose of this course is to discuss how teachers can prepare their students for the fact that outside school they may often encounter varieties of English that are quite different from the variety they have been exposed to in the foreign language classroom. Apart from regional dialects, we will also examine 'social dialects' or 'class dialects' by discussing the influence of factors such as class, professional status, age, ethnic background and sex on language use.

Inhalt:
The film Black Panther swept across the cinematic landscape in the beginning of 2018. In its first month, it became one of the top earning films of all time, grossing more than any other movie but Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). The shout “Wakanda Forever!” was quickly adopted by fans and activists alike, and scholars raised the question if the movie constituted a cinematic “paradigm shift” (Boyd and Madhubuti 2019). Rather than a new phenomenon, however, Black Panther may have been the apotheosis of a movement that had been gaining an increasing amount of traction with cultural producers, theorists, and consumers: Afrofuturism.

Afrofuturism is broadly understood as a cultural aesthetic or intellectual framework, which relies on futurity to reflect on issues of race, identity, civil rights, and so on. There is no consensus on what the term means precisely. Some have insisted that it is a method for working through the inequalities of the past, while others claim that it is a way to imagine equality in the future (Gbadamosi 2017; Eshun 2017). Some suggest that Afrofuturism has relied on a set of fixed symbols that remains useful until today, in which, for example, the space ship signifies the slave ship and the alien the (racial) ‘Other’ (Hutson 2009). Others claimed that such symbolisms are problematic because “we are not aliens,” and advocate the renewal or rejection of those symbols (Jafa 2016). Recently, commentators argued for discarding the term Afrofuturism altogether in favor of terms such as Africanfuturism (Okorafor 2019).

In this course, we explore the concept of Afrofuturism, the ways the term has been theorized over time, and the products of the cultural imagination with which it has been associated. We start from the work of W.E.B. Du Bois, and will discuss texts by Ralph Ellison, Sun Ra, Octavia Butler, Nnedi Okorafor, and Martine Syms, amongst others. While the emphasis in this course will be on literature, examples from music, film, and the visual arts will play a role in the discussions.

Inhalt:
This course engages with US-American Realist programmatics on a historic scale, tracing it from its nineteenth century beginnings to contemporary engagements with fictional narrative. Class reading will consist of a combination of theoretical writing and fiction (and thus requires a willingness to engage in theoretical debate – if your eyes have glazed over at this point, this class is not for you!). Reaching from Roth and Barthes in the 1960s to Carver, DeLillo, David Foster Wallace, and Alice Munroe, as well as O’Nan, Colson Whitehead and Jennifer Egan, our discussion will tackle questions of narrative and verisimilitude, referentiality and the function of fiction, and the historic faultlines that shape debates over “hysterical realism,” “digimodernism,” or “new sincerity.”

  • MA Literaturstudien: Modul D (M 4)

Inhalt:
Often regarded a genre preoccupied with the pursuits of the “leisure class,” the novel of manners participates in the poetic experiment of fiction at the end of the 19th century. Writers like Henry James and Edith Wharton explore the novel as a form of fictional ethnography that studies gendered experiences of courtship and marriage, and how narratives of individual affect encode social transactions and economic practices. Practices of social interaction are closely regulated based on class privilege, social and economic status, and especially female protagonists are often painfully aware of the power of gossip and a precariousness of reputation that requires careful management. We will read and discuss narrative texts, contemporaneous theories of fiction as parts of Thorstein Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study in the Evolution of Institutions (1899).

  • MA English Studies: "Freie Ergänzungsstudien/Wild Card": Wie Aufbaumodul, mit begleitendem Kurs

Inhalt:
Nuclear disasters, civil wars, ecological destruction: the narrative dystopia has been exceedingly popular over the last decade and nothing seems to point to the genre’s decline. Yet this was not always so. Dystopian literature and film thrived during the 1930s and during the 1950s, but it declined in the 1960s and remained relatively unpopular until the 1990s. The questions that this raises is how we can understand the narrative dystopia relative to its historical contexts; why do people write/produce dystopias during some moments and not others, what is the work that the narrative dystopia does, and how does it do it? These are the main concerns of this course.

In pursuit of these questions, we shall read and view a large number of dystopian short stories, novels, series, and films, from the 19th to the 21st century. The focus shall be on the way in which social relations are imagined in the dystopian setting. Authors include P.K. Dick, R. Bradbury, A.B. Dodd, and U.K. Le Guin. We will see how the genre may function as a progressive social commentary, a form of exploration of the yet-to-come, and as a way to imagine a living-together with the so-called ‘Other.’ Yet we shall also see how the genre is used for its opposite: to promote the status quo, social segregation, and inequality. We start this course by reviewing the most important and influential debates on narrative dystopia in order to create a thorough familiarity with the way in which scholars, authors, and readers have thought about dystopian works and worlds.

With the 2020 presidential election just around the corner, this seminar sets out to examine how the U.S. Presidency figures in civil religious discourse, how it is represented in the media, and how it is imagined in fictional texts. We will analyze political rituals and commemorative practices from the founding fathers to Barack Obama and Donald Trump. We will discuss not only media depictions of presidents (and presidential hopefuls), but also their usage of the dominant media of their time (radio, TV, social media) for self-fashioning and agenda-setting. And, we will examine how popular culture has imagined U.S. Presidents, past, present, and future. Drawing on theories of race, gender, and power as well as on scholarship on public feeling and civil sentimentalism, we will zoom in on case studies ranging from campaign spots to speeches and civil religious events (e.g. inauguration ceremonies) and from protest songs to (auto)biographies and fictional presidents on the big and small screens (e.g. The American President, White House Down, Scandal, The Good Fight).

Inhalt:
Construction Grammar has proven itself to be a very fruitful model for the description of language and language learning. However, it has not yet managed to establish itself as the model of linguistic description on which foreign language teaching is based, although first steps in this direction have been taken (De Knop & Gilquin 2016, Herbst 2016, and Boas forthc. 2020). This may partly be due to the fact that, in Germany, for instance, in university teaching Construction Grammar is (at best) presented as a model of linguistics, but is not being used for actual language teaching or syntactic analysis. It is absolutely essential that language students – and prospective foreign language teachers – should be introduced to the basic insights of cognitive linguistics and Construction Grammar and be shown in what ways this model is superior to previous approaches, especially traditional grammar. In this seminar, we intend to outline the basic principles of a constructionist approach to syntactic analysis (CASA) which aims to do precisely that (Herbst & Hoffmann 2018).
We will discuss
  • the types of constructions we identify (declarative-‘statement’ cx, past tense cx, argument structure constructions, premodifier constructions, etc.),

  • the format of presentation, in particular the formal, functional and semantic categories as well as collo-profiles that we are using, and outline

  • how the various constructions that can be identified in an expression (the construct) can be represented in the form of a construction grid.

Particular emphasis will be put on the question of how constructions combine, where we shall argue that the concept of blending (Fauconnier & Turner 2006) can be applied to syntactic theory.
No previous knowledge of Construction Grammar is required!
The idea of the seminar is to try out a new model of syntactic analysis, which may at some stage be used in Staatsexamen. Help us develop something really useful!

  • Lehramt Englisch an Gymnasien: Hauptmodul.

The workload for this class comprises reading tasks on a weekly basis and assignments. Further you will be asked to either prepare a group presentation to provide background information for plenary discussions or to chair such discussions.

Inhalt:
"Some consider that Scots is simply a northerly dialect of English. Others assert that it is a language in its own right, as distinct from English as Dutch is distinct from German, with its own oral and literary heritage. What is the truth of the matter?" (A. J. Aitken. 1985. "Is Scots a Language?". English Today (1), 1)
In this class, we will discuss the "truth of the matter" regarding the complex status of Scots from various angles. Scots in its different manifestations can be placed on a continuum with broad Scots on one end and Scottish Standard English (SSE) on the other. Historically, however, Scots and Scottish Standard English derive from different varieties of English. Thus, in order to address the status of Present-Day Scots, it is important to consider its development and its interconnectedness with different varieties of English throughout its history.
We will do so by examining the phonological, morphological, syntactical and lexical characteristics of Scots and SSE in contradistinction to Standard British English from both a diachronic and a synchronic perspective, as represented in a variety of texts both from historical and Present-Day Scots. A special focus will be placed on the discussion of some of the research on Scots that has been done in recent years.

Scheinerwerb: gemäß Prüfungsordnung.

Inhalt:
In this course, we examine the outcome of second language acquisition in various areas (phonology, lexis, grammar) and some of the reasons for individual differences in the outcomes. We also critically evaluate the wide-spread belief that children are better language learners than adults. As you will see, this is not always the case. In instructional settings, older learners learn more efficiently than children; and even in immersion settings, adults do very well in some areas. On the other hand, it is true that late L2 learners typically do not acquire native-like levels of proficiency, and we examine various explanations for this (critical period for language learning, first language interference, quantity and quality of input, motivation).

Inhalt:
The film Black Panther swept across the cinematic landscape in the beginning of 2018. In its first month, it became one of the top earning films of all time, grossing more than any other movie but Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). The shout “Wakanda Forever!” was quickly adopted by fans and activists alike, and scholars raised the question if the movie constituted a cinematic “paradigm shift” (Boyd and Madhubuti 2019). Rather than a new phenomenon, however, Black Panther may have been the apotheosis of a movement that had been gaining an increasing amount of traction with cultural producers, theorists, and consumers: Afrofuturism.

Afrofuturism is broadly understood as a cultural aesthetic or intellectual framework, which relies on futurity to reflect on issues of race, identity, civil rights, and so on. There is no consensus on what the term means precisely. Some have insisted that it is a method for working through the inequalities of the past, while others claim that it is a way to imagine equality in the future (Gbadamosi 2017; Eshun 2017). Some suggest that Afrofuturism has relied on a set of fixed symbols that remains useful until today, in which, for example, the space ship signifies the slave ship and the alien the (racial) ‘Other’ (Hutson 2009). Others claimed that such symbolisms are problematic because “we are not aliens,” and advocate the renewal or rejection of those symbols (Jafa 2016). Recently, commentators argued for discarding the term Afrofuturism altogether in favor of terms such as Africanfuturism (Okorafor 2019).

In this course, we explore the concept of Afrofuturism, the ways the term has been theorized over time, and the products of the cultural imagination with which it has been associated. We start from the work of W.E.B. Du Bois, and will discuss texts by Ralph Ellison, Sun Ra, Octavia Butler, Nnedi Okorafor, and Martine Syms, amongst others. While the emphasis in this course will be on literature, examples from music, film, and the visual arts will play a role in the discussions.

Inhalt:
This course engages with US-American Realist programmatics on a historic scale, tracing it from its nineteenth century beginnings to contemporary engagements with fictional narrative. Class reading will consist of a combination of theoretical writing and fiction (and thus requires a willingness to engage in theoretical debate – if your eyes have glazed over at this point, this class is not for you!). Reaching from Roth and Barthes in the 1960s to Carver, DeLillo, David Foster Wallace, and Alice Munroe, as well as O’Nan, Colson Whitehead and Jennifer Egan, our discussion will tackle questions of narrative and verisimilitude, referentiality and the function of fiction, and the historic faultlines that shape debates over “hysterical realism,” “digimodernism,” or “new sincerity.”

  • MA Literaturstudien: Modul D (M 4)

Inhalt:
Often regarded a genre preoccupied with the pursuits of the “leisure class,” the novel of manners participates in the poetic experiment of fiction at the end of the 19th century. Writers like Henry James and Edith Wharton explore the novel as a form of fictional ethnography that studies gendered experiences of courtship and marriage, and how narratives of individual affect encode social transactions and economic practices. Practices of social interaction are closely regulated based on class privilege, social and economic status, and especially female protagonists are often painfully aware of the power of gossip and a precariousness of reputation that requires careful management. We will read and discuss narrative texts, contemporaneous theories of fiction as parts of Thorstein Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study in the Evolution of Institutions (1899).

  • MA English Studies: "Freie Ergänzungsstudien/Wild Card": Wie Aufbaumodul, mit begleitendem Kurs

Inhalt:
Nuclear disasters, civil wars, ecological destruction: the narrative dystopia has been exceedingly popular over the last decade and nothing seems to point to the genre’s decline. Yet this was not always so. Dystopian literature and film thrived during the 1930s and during the 1950s, but it declined in the 1960s and remained relatively unpopular until the 1990s. The questions that this raises is how we can understand the narrative dystopia relative to its historical contexts; why do people write/produce dystopias during some moments and not others, what is the work that the narrative dystopia does, and how does it do it? These are the main concerns of this course.

In pursuit of these questions, we shall read and view a large number of dystopian short stories, novels, series, and films, from the 19th to the 21st century. The focus shall be on the way in which social relations are imagined in the dystopian setting. Authors include P.K. Dick, R. Bradbury, A.B. Dodd, and U.K. Le Guin. We will see how the genre may function as a progressive social commentary, a form of exploration of the yet-to-come, and as a way to imagine a living-together with the so-called ‘Other.’ Yet we shall also see how the genre is used for its opposite: to promote the status quo, social segregation, and inequality. We start this course by reviewing the most important and influential debates on narrative dystopia in order to create a thorough familiarity with the way in which scholars, authors, and readers have thought about dystopian works and worlds.

Inhalt:
With the 2020 presidential election just around the corner, this seminar sets out to examine how the U.S. Presidency figures in civil religious discourse, how it is represented in the media, and how it is imagined in fictional texts. We will analyze political rituals and commemorative practices from the founding fathers to Barack Obama and Donald Trump. We will discuss not only media depictions of presidents (and presidential hopefuls), but also their usage of the dominant media of their time (radio, TV, social media) for self-fashioning and agenda-setting. And, we will examine how popular culture has imagined U.S. Presidents, past, present, and future. Drawing on theories of race, gender, and power as well as on scholarship on public feeling and civil sentimentalism, we will zoom in on case studies ranging from campaign spots to speeches and civil religious events (e.g. inauguration ceremonies) and from protest songs to (auto)biographies and fictional presidents on the big and small screens (e.g. The American President, White House Down, Scandal, The Good Fight).
