- 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.

- 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).
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Please acquire paper copies of the following texts and read in advance: Henry James Daisy Miller: A Study and Portrait of a Lady; Edith Wharton The House of Mirth
Additional texts will be made available on StudOn.
Please note that this class has a “no screen”-policy and that you will thus need to acquire paper editions!

- 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).

- 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.

Zulassungsvoraussetzung: erfolgreich abgeschlossene GOP
- 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.

BA English and American Studies: Zwischenmodul II BA American Studies Variante: Zwischenmodul II Lehramt Englisch an Gymnasien: Zwischenmodul L-GYM Literature Lehramt Englisch an Grund-, Haupt- und Realschulen: Seminarmodul L-UF Literature
- 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.’

- 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:
- This lecture gives a historical overview of 19th-century U.S. culture and literature from the Early National period, the Romantic period, which is also known as the American Renaissance or the Age of Transcendentalism, to the Realistic and Naturalistic period, the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era. We will focus on topics such as nationhood, antebellum culture, slavery and the Civil War, ethnic, urban, and mass culture. A multi-perspectival approach will lead us to consider the transatlantic and hemispheric dimensions of U.S. culture(s) and literature(s) between “high” and “popular” streams.
