V 2st, Do 16-18
Arndt/N.N.
This introductory lecture surveys English literature from c. 1400 to the beginning of the
seventeenth century. We shall discuss texts ranging from Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales
and Troilus and Criseyde to Elizabethan tragedy, comedy, and history plays (with particular
emphasis on Shakespeare’s Othello, As You Like It and Henry V, but also on the dramatic writings
of Shakespeare’s contemporaries). Further, the lecture will introduce students to the poetry and
poetics of Renaissance England and a variety of prose writings of the period.
Please sign up for this class on our e-learning server (Moodle) at
www.elearning.unibayreuth.de by April 1st, 2016. Information about core readings and

First class meeting: April 20, 2016
This lecture class is the first in a cycle of four that introduce students to the literary and cultural
history of the United States. In the first meetings, the lectures will discuss major texts of the
colonial period (early 17th century to 1776). The focus of the lectures, however, will be on the
period of the early American republic (1770s to 1820s) during which the modern United States
emerged. Political independence, combined with the ideology of equality, unleashed a burst of
energy and expansion unimaginable during colonial times and led to far-reaching social, economic,
and cultural changes. The lectures trace the contributions of many artists and intellectuals to this
process in which a unique national cultural identity was forged, a dynamic identity characterized by
a diversity of contributing voices. While the focus of attention will be on literary texts, on poetry,
drama, and narrative, the cultural work of non-fictional texts as well as of the arts will also be
considered. Many of the texts discussed in the lectures can be found in volumes A and B of the
seventh edition of The Norton Anthology of American Literature. It is recommended to buy these
two volumes as textbooks. Additional materials (e.g. the syllabus and weekly handouts) will be
made available on the UBT E-learning Server. Students who will take the written exam (“Klausur”)
at the end of the semester will be informed in the first lecture which materials are relevant. The
written exam will focus only on a selection of the texts and issues discussed in the lectures.

Arndt/N.N.
This course is designed to provide an opportunity for guided reading of texts discussed in the
lecture – or sections thereof, to intensify and extend the scope of the Survey lectures. It is not a
compulsory part of the lecture cycle. However, the course is recommended for members of the
Survey lectures, as the reading materials are a part of the preparation for the compulsory written
exam (Klausur) at the end of the lecture series. The course will offer the possibility to dive more
deeply into the analysis and knowledge of authors, literary works, epochs and theories as
presented in the lecture. Both cursory and in-depth readings will be offered. Context readings may
be included, for a better understanding of literary developments. Thus, the course offers an
opportunity to improve one's understanding of major literary works and their historical and
theoretical contexts, and to discuss respective questions. Regular attendance with all required
reading as well as the writing of 3 glossary entries on selected topics, works or writers, will meet
the credit requirements for BA or MAIAS electives.

Cultural Theories and Research Methods
LA B2c/SM Kult
Ü 2st, Do 10-12
Cortiel
This seminar will introduce major methods and theories in cultural studies with a focus on popular
film. The seminar is project-based and will connect current theories of culture with attention to film
form. After three introductory sessions, students will work in groups to develop original,
methodologically sound readings of a contemporary film grounded in close shot-by-shot analysis
and current theories of film and culture. While each group will develop its own approach using a
selection of theoretical angles as a starting point, we will all analyze the same film, Quentin
Tarantino’s Django Unchained (2012).
Active participation in and completion of the project is required for taking the final exam (B2c/SM
Kult).
Please purchase a copy of the film and watch it before the beginning of the semester.

British Modernist Literature
BA (Teilgebiet 1.2); A4, A7; BA ISIS; Lehramt (A4, A4a; VM
Lit; MAIAS electives)
PS 2st, Di 14-16
Friedrich-Gemkow
This course will concentrate on the modernist phase in 20th century British literature. We will start
with a general approach to key historical events and social dynamics. By focussing on selected
modernist writings, the unique features of these highly experimental literary works will be explored.
Modernist literature is the result of a decisive break with the past and the literary conventions
connected to it. Modernist writers created new forms of expression and narrative methods. Interior
monologue, free association and stream of consciousness are just some of the new techniques
which will be traced and analysed in the selected primary texts.
Texts to be obtained by students:
James Joyce. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Virginia Woolf. Mrs Dalloway
Samuel Beckett. Waiting for Godot
Please register for this seminar at https://elearning.uni-bayreuth.de by April 04, 2016.

The Victorian Age and Its Literary Representations
PS 2st, Mi 10-12
Friedrich-Gemkow
During the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) prosperity increased in Britain resulting out of the
expanding Empire and technological advancements. Nevertheless, it was not only a period of
success including major scientific and philosophical discoveries, but the rapid urbanization
triggered by the Industrial Revolution also lead to miserable working and living conditions for
working-class people. This course aims at exploring the Victorian Age from different angles. With
the help of non-fictional writing, we will get an insight into the actual living circumstances and
attitudes of that time. By reading various forms of literary representations, we will highlight the
aspects people were mostly concerned about and analyse the methods writers used to depict
these social issues.
Charles Dickens. Hard Times
Florence Nightingale. Cassandra
Oscar Wilde. The Importance of Being Earnest
A reader with additional texts will be available at the beginning of the semester.

Australian Literature: An Overview
PS 2st, Mi 08-10
6
Friedrich-Gemkow
The literature of Australia is a kaleidoscope of nature, culture and places. This course aims at
providing a broad overview of the rich diversity Australian literature displays. We will start with
dreamtime stories such as “Why Emu cannot fly” to get an impression of the Aboriginal people and
their spiritual connection to the land. In a second step we will trace the impact of British
colonisation as portrayed in selected literary works and historical documents. The British struggle
with the harsh environmental conditions, the racial politics endangering the Aboriginal people, and
the development of a multi-ethnic Australia taking aspects of identity construction into
consideration will be discussed in the course of the seminar.
Sally Morgan. My Place
Miles Franklin. My Brilliant Career
Kim Scott. That Deadman Dance
A reader with additional texts will be available at the beginning of the semester.

Introduction to British Poetry I: Seventeenth Century to
the Romantic Period
VM Lit; MAIAS electives extensions)
PS 2st, Di 8-10
Matzke
This seminar provides an introduction to selected British poetry of the Seventeenth Century to the
Romantic Period. We will engage in close readings of these texts and look at their historical and
cultural contexts. Following Billy Collins’ “Introduction to Poetry” (1986), we will ‘hold’ these poems
‘up to the light’, ‘drop’ questions into them, ‘walk inside their rooms and feel the walls for a light
switch’, perform them and read them aloud, and we will think about what reading poetry means to
us today.
A reader with material will be made available at the beginning of the semester. Professed lovers of
poetry may obtain the Norton Anthology of Poetry, 4th or 5th edition.
This is part one of a two-semester introduction to British poetry. Each course can also be taken
separately.

Lehramt A4, A4a, B2d (alt); VM Lit, WM FW (neu); MAIAS
A1.4, C3.1
PS 2st, Mo 10-12
Mayer
This seminar introduces the novels of Willa Cather, one of the most prominent US American
authors of the first half of the 20th century. With O Pioneers! (1913), Death Comes for the
Archbishop (1927), and Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940) the seminar focuses on her interest in
the ethnic and cultural diversity of the American historical and regional experience. O Pioneers! is
set in the Nebraska prairies around 1900 and tells the story of Swedish immigrants’ struggle to
make a living in a landscape that demands a lot of them, both physically and mentally. Death
Comes for the Archbishop, a historical novel set in 19th-century New Mexico, addresses the
pioneering efforts of the Catholic Church in the American Southwest by tracing the efforts of
Bishop Jean Latour and Father Joseph Vaillant to organize a new diocese in a region
characterized by ethnic and cultural diversity. Sapphira and the Slave Girl explores the experience
of slavery in the ante- and postbellum American South. Seminar discussions start with a focus on
narratological analysis of the texts and then moves on to contextual issues, to the contribution of
the novels to discourses of the frontier, immigration, slavery, and of “the land,” i.e. the natural
environment.
Participants are recommended to buy the following editions of the novels:
Willa Cather. Death Comes for the Archbishop. New York, 1990 [ISBN: 978-0679728894]
Willa Cather. O Pioneers! Oxford, 1999 [ISBN: 978-0199552320]

Symbols, Sexuality, and the South: Tennessee Williams’s
Plays
A1.4, C3.1
PS 2st, Di 10-12
Schmidt
Together with Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams ranks among the most important American
playwrights after World War II. In this seminar, we will read a number of his plays, focusing our
analyses on three central thematic and formal features of his oeuvre: the densely symbolic nature
of his style; the inclusion of sexuality as important issue in the plays; and the ways in which the
setting in the US-American South influences the plays. Time permitting we will watch the movie
version of A Streetcar Named Desire.
Plays to be discussed include The Glass Menagerie (1944), A Streetcar Named Desire (1947),
The Rose Tattoo (1951), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Orpheus Descending (1957), and Sweet
Bird of Youth (1959).
We will use the Library of America-edition of Williams’s Collected Plays, which will be available in
the Semesterapparat and on Elearning.

Contemporary African American Short Fiction
A1.4, C3.1
PS 2st, Di 14-16
Schmidt
Throughout its history, the American short story has not only been widely celebrated but also been
considered the most typically American literary genre. For the longest time, however, African
American contributions had been overlooked. In this seminar, therefore, we will discuss a number
of African American short stories of the recent past—from the 1980s until today—and take a close
look at the styles they employ and the topics they deal with. Doing so, this seminar will provide an
overview of the breadth and depth of contemporary African American short fiction and its
contribution to American literature in a broader sense.
Stories to be discussed include James Baldwin, “Going to Meet the Man” (1965), John Edgar
Wideman, “Damballah” (1981), Alice Walker, “Advancing Luna—and Ida B. Wells” (1982), Toni
Morrison, “Recitatif” (1983), Charles Johnson, “China” (1983), Octavia Butler, “Bloodchild” (1984),
and more recent publications such as Percival Everett, “The Appropriation of Cultures” (1998), ZZ
Packer, “Drinking Coffee Elsewhere” (2003), and Danzy Senna, “You Are Free” (2011). All stories
will be made available to registered students in the Semesterapparat and/or on elearning.

Eighteenth-Century Satire

u.a. MA KuGeA und MAIAS
PS 2st, Do 10-12
Kläger
Satire is a mode of expression and criticism of ancient standing, and its forms and functions have
varied greatly over time. By many accounts, eighteenth century Britain saw a particular blossoming
of the form, and in this class, we shall consider satiric works from the period across a number of
media, including prose, drama, poetry, and the visual arts. We will supplement this with theoretical
readings on satire and its relationship to other rhetorical and generic forms, such as parody, irony,
and comedy. We will inquire into the place of satire in eighteenth-century British culture and
examine contemporary debates about its purposes and limits. Next to a number of theoretical
readings, we will consider satirists including Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, Henry Fielding, as
well as the dramatist William Congreve and the painter and engraver William Hogarth.
Please sign up for this class on our e-learning server (Moodle) at www.elearning.unibayreuth.de by April 1st, 2016. Information about core readings and course requirements
will be available on the E-learning platform by April 10th, 2016.

and cultural studies. Small writing and presentation tasks will prepare students for larger research
projects (such as term papers and your BA or MA thesis). Through a series of small assignments
students will practice finding a topic and appropriate sources, defining a research question and
theoretical framework, developing a methodology, shaping an analytical argument and presenting
their work in writing or as a presentation. Further information will be available via e-learning by the
end of March.

u.a. MA KuGeA und MAIAS electives)
Ü 2st, Mi 14-16
Delony
This seminar will discuss the first literary work of Toni Morrison, examining the complexities of
childhood for the novel’s main character, Pecola, and her challenges growing up under the
influence of poverty and Hollywood beauty standards. For literary analaysis, we will evaluate the
impact of double-narration on the story’s effectiveness and discuss how point of view and
characterization can be read together as elements of indictment as the narrators introduce key
people and places in the novel. Second, we will extend beyond the story and consider the ways in
which contemporary poverty and beauty standards continue to define the childhood experience in
our respective local and home communities.
Close attention will be paid to the author’s craft—techniques the author uses to establish
voice
and thereby establish identity. We will also discuss the history of representation of black and white
bodies in film and the subsequent impact of these representation practices on the development of
self worth across race, class and gender identities. For this, we will view video and documentary
clips and read excerpts from Stuart Hall’s Representation: Cultural Representation and Signifying
Practices.

How are written texts composed? Are texts within certain genres different from texts in other
genres? These questions are very important to text linguistics. This course will focus on aspects of
grammar beyond the sentence, especially cohesion, coherence intentionality, acceptability,
informativity, contextuality and intertextuality, in different genres in English. We will also be
concerned electronic text genres and how these have affected traditional text production at various
levels: grammar, template, audience and medium.

In this seminar we will deal with different approaches towards English syntactic structures. Starting
off with the familiar CGEL by Quirk et al. (1985), we will talk about advantages and drawbacks of
syntactic frameworks but also test their practical value on a sample of sentences. Other
approaches which will be dealt with in this course are English Syntactic Structures by Aarts/Aarts
(1982), valency based approaches (Emons 1974, Allerton 1982) and Construction Grammar
(Goldberg 2006). The second part of the course will be dedicated to aspects like the diachronic
development of syntactic structures, the description of sentence structures within grammars and
dictionaries as well as syntax in language learning and teaching.

Colonizing the World The Rise of the First British Empire I

Starting date: 12 April 2016
In English
Virginia (in the 1580s) and Jamestown in 1607 were the first of the British colonies in North
America. However, the rise of the First British Empire came with many failures; colonists starved or
were murdered by competing colonial powers, entire colonies disappeared. In our seminar course
we will look at the foundations of the First British Empire: successful and failed colonies, colonial
ideologies, at the role of Ireland as Britain’s “first colony” (Nicholas Canny), the rise of global
economies and the slave trade.

Seminar, Do 14-16
Ziege
Machiavelli und Morus sind zwei komplexe Figuren des frühen 16. Jahrhunderts, die die politische
Theorie und Soziologie bis heute beschäftigen. Sie haben marxistische und antimarxistische, ja
faschistische Rezeptionen erfahren, werden in der Spieltheorie diskutiert und tauchen in der
neuesten US-amerikanischen Debatte über Demokratie und soziale Ungleichheit auf. Das Seminar
16
beschäftigt sich mit der Lektüre von zwei Texten, „Il Principe“ (1513), deutsch „Der Fürst“, und
„Utopia“ (1516). In beiden geht es um Macht. Machiavellis komplexe Denkweise über Politik hatte
einen neuen machtrealistischen Akzent, den man seither ‚machiavellistisch’ nennt. Morus’ fiktiver
Reisebericht „Utopia“ (buchstäblich: der ortlose Ort) gilt als das erste moderne Werk einer
utopischen, später auch sozialistischen Tradition. Kann man diese beiden Denker trotzdem
fruchtbar aufeinander beziehen? Gibt es den demokratischen Machiavelli? Kann man Morus’
„Utopia“ als indirekte Kritik der zeitgenössischen englischen Machtverhältnisse lesen? Und lassen
sich diese 500 Jahre alten Texte überhaupt auf aktuelle Fragen der Gesellschaftstheorie
beziehen? Das Seminar ist für Studentinnen und Studenten der Soziologie, Anglistik,
Geschichtswissenschaft und angrenzender Fächer geeignet.
Die Texte werden in den deutschen Übersetzungen gelesen und müssen von allen Teilnehmern
und Teilnehmerinnen angeschafft werden (Machiavelli, Der Fürst, übers. v. Philipp Rippel,

“Feminist Performance Returning”
Blockseminar
Bettina Knaup
Das Seminar befasst sich mit (historischer und aktueller) feministischer, queerer und
genderkritischer Performancekunst sowie ihrer Dokumentation, Archivierung, Rezeption und Reaktivierung. Performance entwickelte sich vor allem seit den 1960er und 1970er Jahren als
eigenständige Kunstform, die den Körper und die Handlungen der Künstler_innen und auch des
beteiligten Publikums zum Medium der Kunst erklärte. In einer Zeit der internationalen Aufbrüche,
die von den Studentenunruhen in Westeuropa, den Revolten in Osteuropa, den
Widerstandsbewegungen in Südeuropa und Lateinamerika, den internationalen Frauen-,
Bürgerrechts-, Friedens-, Schwulen- und Lesbenbewegungen geprägt war, wurde auch in der
Kunst nach neuen Ausdrucksformen gesucht, die sich gegen eine formalistische, auf das
Kunstobjekt ausgerichtete Kunst wendeten.
Genreübergreifend,
prozessorientiert,
experimentell entzog sich Performance dabei jeder eindeutigen Definition, ja viele Autor_innen
beschrieben diese Undefinierbarkeit als das eigentliche Merkmal der Performance. Performance
war dabei formal und inhaltlich geradezu das paradigmatische Medium feministisch inspirierter,
genderkritischer Kunstproduktion: Durch die Verschränkung von Kunst und Leben, von privat und
öffentlich, durch den Fokus auf den kreativen, handelnden und wissenden Körper, aber auch durch
die Aneignung des damals neuen Mediums Video konnten Künstler_innen vom Objekt zum
Subjekt der Kunst werden. In radikalen Arbeiten wurden repressive Identitätszuschreibungen
aufgedeckt und unterlaufen, soziale und physische Grenz- und Gewalterfahrungen thematisiert
17
oder der lustvolle Körper angeeignet. Performance war zudem als neue Kunstform jenseits der
traditionellen Kunstorte und ökonomischer Verwertungslogiken ein Medium für kollektive und
politische Intervention im öffentlichen Raum.
Trotz einer seit Jahren zu beobachtenden erhöhten Konjunktur von Performancekunst
einerseits, sowie der Historisierung der internationalen feministischen Kunstbewegungen der
1960er bis 80er Jahre andererseits, bleibt die feministische, genderkritische und queere
Performancepraxis in ihrer internationalen Vielfältigkeit wenig sichtbar und ist kaum systematisch
aufbereitet. Zugleich entstehen neue Ein- und Ausschlüsse.
In zwei intensiven Blöcken werden wir wenig bekanntes und kaum zugängliches
Dokumentations- und Archivmaterial sichten und mit unterschiedlichen Zugängen zu
Performancedokumenten und Archivmaterialien experimentieren (z.B. close reading, mapping, renarrating). Wir untersuchen dabei die Performativität des Archivs, die Lebendigkeit des
Dokuments, die scheinbar immer wiederkehrende Unzeitlichkeit feministisch-queerer
Interventionen und befragen die Effekte und Potentiale der Wiederkehr, der Ein- und Ausschlüsse
subversiver künstlerischer Praxen.

his course aims to introduce students to the field of Critical Whiteness Studies as a branch of
Postcolonial and Critical Race Studies. It pursues an intersectional focus on race as a construct,
category of analysis and social position. In doing so, literary theory is at the fore. Theoretical texts
by bell hooks, Toni Morrison, Ruth Frankenberg and Ursula Wachendorfer will be read. In the
second part of the course, whiteness will be mobilised as a critical category of analysis. In doing
so, British literature will be approached in historical perspective.

Comics as a medium requires specific imaginative work to piece together its narratives, making it
particularly adapted to speculation. This has to do with the way in which comics combine the visual
and the verbal, but also with the history and development of comics as a medium in the United
States: Since the late 1980s, dystopian and postapocalyptic science fiction has been among the
dominant genres (next to autobiography) in American Comics. Focusing on comics as medium of
speculation, this seminar will explore ways in which comics enable a particular type of speculation
that combines the verbal and the visual, time and space in unique ways. Each student will work on
a small research project focusing on one comic in this context and present their results as a
research poster as part of a symposium at the end of the semester.

movements that shaped American culture following WW II up to the 1970s: The civil rights
movement, black panther movement, feminism, gay and lesbian rights, the anti-Vietnam
movement, student protest as well as the emerging ecology movement. We will relate Beat poetry
and the poetry of the Black Arts movement to predecessors in nineteenth-century American
Romanticism (such as Walt Whitman, but also the prose writer Henry David Thoreau) and early
twentieth-century Modernism. The guiding question for the seminar is how poetry in times of crisis
participates in shaping social protest and cultural resistance.

In this class, we shall examine Shakespeare’s tragic oeuvre by way of three plays: Titus
Andronicus, Hamlet, and Macbeth. We will begin by considering the dramatic traditions
Shakespeare was working in, and transforming. This will lead us to examine not only classical and
early modern theories of tragedy and the specificities of performance on the early modern stage,
21
but also earlier specimens of Elizabethan tragedy by Thomas Kyd and Christopher Marlowe.
Further, we shall study the social and cultural discourses the plays engage, such as Elizabethan
and Jacobean ideas of cosmic, national and familial order, conceptions of gender, theology and
scepticism, and subjectivity. We shall attend in particular to the patterns Shakespeare lends his
plays in transforming his sources.

In this class, we shall examine some of the discourses generated by colonial ventures of the
fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. How and in what terms, we shall ask, did the British think and
talk about ruling plantations and colonies abroad? How did the challenges of colonialism (political,
legal, administrative, military, but also moral) affect the early modern nation’s self-image? We will
consider English colonial ventures in Ireland and the Americas, but also writings by French and
Spanish authors such as Michel de Montaigne and Bartolome de las Casas (in English translation).
Our main focus will be on literary renditions of colonialism, including texts such as Shakespeare’s
The Tempest, Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, and Behn’s Oroonoko.

The theatre has played a special part in the colonial and postcolonial negotiation of Irish national
and cultural identity. In this class, we shall trace the critical representation of Irishness on the
22
country’s stages from the first conception of the Irish National Theatre at the beginning of the
twentieth century to the present day. Prime among our concerns will be the ways in which Irish
playwrights from W.B. Yeats to Martin McDonagh construct versions of the national past and of
exile, creating or debunking nationalist interpretations of home and of history. Whereas earlier
playwrights self-consciously participated in the struggle for independence, more recent plays tend
to deconstruct traditional notions of national identity or highlight those who were written out of the
official version of Irish history. In our reading of plays by J. M. Synge, Brian Friel, Sebastian Barry
and others, we will explore the alternatives for collective identities they offer, and the possibilities
afforded by the stage for their negotiation.

This seminar addresses the contribution of literary texts to the discourse of “petroculture.”
Petroculture, an ultimately global culture based on a reliance on fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas),
must be seen as a socioeconomic shaping power worldwide. It has been central – though usually
unacknowledged – to diverse processes of collective and personal identity formation. The seminar
will discuss three novels that span the 20th and 21st centuries and target the impact of oil in USAmerican culture: Upton Sinclair’s Oil! (1927) that explores the sociocultural implications of the
California oil economy in the early 20th century; Linda Hogan’s Mean Spirit (1990) that engages
with a Native American perspective on oil during the 1920s Oklahoma oil boom; and Kurt Cobb’s
Prelude (2010) that focuses on the immediate present and the notion of “peak oil” – the notion that
the planet’s reserves have reached a maximum level and begin to decline irreversibly. The first
meetings of the seminar will address theoretical issues, relying also on visual representations. The
following meetings will focus on the analysis and interpretation of the novels. At stake will be
questions of narrative technique, genre issues, and the role of fiction in the discourses of
petroculture.

In this seminar, we will, first, try and define “popular music” as a field of critical academic study and
discuss a variety of approaches to popular culture more broadly understood. Second, we will
exemplarily analyze all dimensions of country music necessary for a comprehensive study of the
music as a form of popular culture: the music, the lyrics of the songs, the personae of the
performers, the visual staging in music videos, the creation of superstars through a variety of
media, the interaction of performer and audience/fan-base, the mechanisms of the music industry,
and the like.
A basic familiarity with country music is helpful but not requisite, as is knowledge of basic musical
terms. In addition to listening to a lot of music, we will read and discuss a heavy dose of
theoretical material, so please be aware that this is a Hauptseminar and not a musical concert!
Students interested in participating in the seminar have to enroll themselves in the
corresponding elearning course by March 31, 2016! Once registered, please post a link to a
song (youtube, vevo, artist’s web site, etc.) from any musical genre that you consider popular
music to the news forum on elearning.

function of this medium in: 1) the ways people pass on messages, i.e. communicate, 2) the ways
people keep communion, i.e. stay in contact, 3) they ways people construct communities of
practice, i.e. shared values and features, and 4) the ways in which language is a central factor in
all these communications and communities. Additionally, we will describe some of the
methodological, theoretical and analytical frameworks that have been used in computer mediated
communication research so far, including sociological, sociolinguistic, pragmatic, empirical,
forensic, conversational & discourse analytic, cultural, etc. approaches.

The language of football is embellished with metaphors, ironies, suspense and other
communicative strategies that deserve linguistic attention. This course looks at the discourses
around football, produced through different media and in different geographical locations with the
aim of investigating the strategies used. Focus is on football events, e.g. live commentaries, postmatch interviews (players and officials), pre-match and post-match press conferences, fan club
songs, etc. and on the medium of production, e.g. online live streaming, radio vs. television vs.
loudspeaker commentaries, newspaper (print and online) match reports, etc.
NB: This course has a practical component: We will register and participate in the 2016 Wilde Liga
Bayreuth as a team. Some of your presentations will partially be based on discourses produced
during our matches, e.g. interviews, press conferences, etc. So, football players, you are highly
welcome to the course.

Is English an African language? While, of course, it does not belong to any of the larger language
families of Africa, English has been used in many African countries as official language, lingua
franca and a source for the formation of contact languages like Nigerian Pidgin, Krio or Sheng. In
this class, we will look at English language contact in Africa from a historical and contemporary
perspective. Our main areas of focus are West Africa (Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon),
East Africa (Tanzania, Uganda, Kenia) and South Africa. In addition to investigating particular
linguistic features of African Englishes/contact varieties we will also look at the way these varieties
have been made use of in literature and in the media.

Any act of translation is also an act of intercultural communication which requires a reflection on
different cultural knowledge and genre norms between source and target audience. Rather than
just focussing on questions of lexical and grammatical equivalence, additional semantic,
pragmatic, text linguistic and language philosophical questions have to be taken into account in the
process of translation. This course will focus on different methods and theories of how to deal with
this "Babel tower" – both from a diachronic and a synchronic perspective. After reading and
discussing some fundamental texts in translation theory, this course will place a particular focus on
the comparison of several translated versions of important literary works, ranging from
Shakespeare and Dante to Dickens, Dostoevsky and contemporary postcolonial authors.

This is a course on theory and methods for MAIAS students (A3) and is open to other MA students
(MA SprInK) and PhD candidates. In this research seminar, (written and spoken) text types will be
discussed in terms of their generic forms and their characteristic features on a macro-level (text
organisation) and micro-level (lexical, syntactic and discourse features). After an introduction to
genre theory and analysis, we will look at some specific text types such as letters (and the
development of their electronic forms), recipes, diary entries and blogs, death notices, advice
columns or phone-in-programmes from a cross-cultural perspective.

This seminar is designed for graduate students at the MA or PhD level. This Research Seminar is
designed for in-depth discussion concerning methodical and analytical approaches to Transcultural
English Studies. Topics will revolve around participants’ research projects that deal with British and
Anglophone literature, film, theatre and new media/internet. We will read recently published core
texts in the field of postcolonial studies, (trans)cultural studies, gender studies, post-human and
digital studies. In doing so, the seminar offers a platform to discuss questions regarding the
methodology and theory of student’s research projects. The seminar will be concluded by a
blocked session that offers students a platform to present their readings of these theories as
related to their own theses/term papers in a workshop-like atmosphere.

Graduate School
HS 2st, Do 14-16, every other week
Arndt
This seminar will discuss intertextualities that affect works of William Shakespeare. Students are
invited to select one Shakespeare play of their choice and discuss given sources for this play with
a keen interest in digging into its African or Asian “connections”. Which languages did
Shakespeare speak/read/understand, which texts did he know, how did texts travel to London, or
did Shakespeare travel beyond Europe? These and further questions are to be identified and
answered. The course continues a course started in WS 15/16, yet is open for new beginners, too.
The course will lead to a workshop in which all students will present their research findings
to the public, be it as lecture, exhibition, video installation or (stage) performance.

Approaching Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior
(1979): Special Seminar Theories and Methods
MA A 3;
HS 2st., Mo 10-12
Cortiel
Based on a reading of Maxine Hong Kingston’'s The Woman Warrior (1979), this course will build
an advanced understanding of major theories and methods in American literary studies. In the first
half of the semester, we will discuss this text together, engaging particularly narrative theory,
feminist theory, Asian American studies, reader-response theory and Queer theory. In the second
half of the semester, each student will be asked to develop his or her own focused analysis and
interpretation in an oral presentation—later to be revised and expanded into an academic essay or
term paper that explicates and applies these methods. Please purchase and read a copy oft he
book before the beginning oft he semester. As an additional resource I recommend Gregory
Castle's The The Literary Theory Handbook. Oxford, UK: Blackwell, 2013.
Further information on how to prepare for the course will be available on e-learning by
March 15.

written presentation. The first meetings of the seminar will deal with issues of theory, method, and
academic research in general. The following meetings will address the participants’ individual fields
and topics of interest. Participants will have to present work-in-progress – either an MA thesis
project that is already under way or work on topics that will be part of the oral or written MAIAS
exams.

Collecting authentic data on which reliable findings could be made is central to linguistics,
especially in the last decades where corpus linguistic approaches have become crucial. This
advanced course will be concerned with techniques in fieldwork research and is meant to be
significantly more practical than theoretical. Participants will be expected to apply some of the
major fieldwork techniques either to their own research projects or to other projects. Direct focus
will be on language corpora. Besides working with existing corpora, participants will also be
introduced to corpus tools, software and will be expected to apply these to their research.
