    This lecture offers an introduction to the study of English literatures. It invites students to reflect on what one does when interacting with texts and familiarizes them with common approaches to analyzing poetry, prose, and drama, as well as broader topics like rhetoric, genre theory, literary history, and various schools of literary criticism. The primary goal of the lecture is to enhance students’ abilities as independent, critical readers, who combine the pleasure of reading with a more systematic approach to literature that is interested in the effects of literature on readers and the world.

    
    

    The lecture is accompanied by a weekly seminar where these questions, concepts, and methods will be discussed in smaller groups. Students are required to enroll separately for one of the PS ‘Working with Literary Texts’.

    
    

    The lecture will be conducted in English. Please note that while attendance is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. To successfully complete the module, students will need to actively participate in the seminar (including assignments), follow the lecture series, and take the 90-minute final exam at the end of the semester. The exam will cover the contents discussed in both the lecture and the seminar.

    
    

    This lecture is a live, in-person event. It will not be streamed or recorded. Slides will be made available after each session.

    This seminar is designed to be taken in conjunction with the lecture “Introduction to Literary Studies: Basic Questions, Concepts, and Methods.” The two courses follow a similar structure and are closely connected. The seminar provides a space to explore in more detail concepts presented in the lecture and apply them by engaging with a variety of lyrical, narrative, and dramatic texts. In addition, students will read a small selection of critical texts which introduce them to some of the central theoretical frameworks in literary studies. Finally, the class will also include a section on academic writing and research techniques, anticipating the term papers to be written in the Aufbauphase. Overall, the seminar thus aims to enable students to understand and contextualise a historically and generically diverse range of texts and to speak and write about them in structured ways. Most of the readings as well as a full list of required texts and other important information will be made available in the first session. The class will be conducted in English.

    Linguistics is the scientific study of language. The aims of linguistics are to understand human communication, cognition and psychology and the evolution of languages as communication systems. Language is fascinating to study for its own sake, but a knowledge of linguistics is also extremely helpful for a range of other activities, for instance language teaching or translating/interpreting.

    
    

    The seminars will introduce you to basic concepts and methods in linguistics. We will study phenomena on various levels of analysis (phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax), with English as our primary object of investigation and occasional glances at other languages. You will be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to read academic literature and to carry out linguistic analyses of your own in more advanced modules, and to pursue further studies in the discipline.

    
    

    Credit requirements are:

    
    
    
    
    • regular attendance
      
    • regular active participation in discussions, based on weekly reading assignments and homework
      
    • a written exam

    In 2020, biographer Diana Souhami published the book “No Modernism Without Lesbians” (Head of Zeus, 2020) emphasising the importance of queer women and gender non-conforming people in the modernist literary landscape. Souhami briefly traces the lives of four influential modernists: Sylvia Beach, Gertrude Stein, Natalie Barney, and Bryher to illustrate their queerness and achievements. Her book challenges the androcentric modernist canon and attempts to reframe modernist history. This however is not the only attempt to remember or to be remembered, as many queer modernists themselves turned to modes of biographical writing to make sure they, their peers, and their work would not be forgotten.

    
    

    This course looks at different sub-genres of life-writing and how different modernists used them to write (queer) history. We examine the differences between biography, (fictionalised) autobiography, memoir, roman à clef, etc. and explore what censorship and libel laws of the early twentieth century meant when it came to publishing (explicitly) queer biographical content. Moreover, we will talk about the issue of fact vs. fiction in biographical material and investigate queer memorial practices through ‘archival activism’.

    
    
    

    In addition to material made available on Blackboard during the semester, we will read:

    
    

    Barney, Natalie. Women Lovers, or the Third Woman. University of Wisconsin Press, 2019. (The book is available online via Primo)

    Comments

    Against the backdrop of the rise of free verse, the 20th century also saw a movement towards extremely constrained writing. This seminar examines form writing in English with a focus on contemporary manifestations. Some questions we will explore in the course are: How does form potentiate poetry? Does form help writers address traumatic topics? How do “difficult” constraints paradoxically create bountiful possibilities for writers and readers?

    
     
    

    In this course, after a review of different poetic forms and how to identify them, we will read the books Darkling by Anna Rabinowitz and parts of Eunoia and The Xenotext I by Christian Bök. We will also get acquainted with Roland Barthes’ theories and look at contemporary English form poetry publisher Penteract Press.

    2024 marks the bicentenary of Wilkie Collins’ birth. A close friend of Charles Dickens, with whom he collaborated on a number literary projects and amateur theatricals, shockingly liberal in most of his views (including religion, gender roles and matrimony), a confirmed laudanum addict and lover of spicy food and – though unbeknownst to most of his contemporaries – romantically involved with two women, to neither of whom he was married (though he had children with one and lived together with the other) – Wilkie Collins nevertheless became one of the most popular authors in the 1860s with a string of novels that quickly acquired the label ‘sensation novels’. Dealing with the darker sides of bourgeois society – fraud, murder, drug-addiction and adultery, to name but a few – and showcasing memorable and often altogether unconventional characters in different stages of intense emotional stress, his novels both shocked and delighted readers from Thomas Carlyle to Prince Albert. Fans included Arthur Conan Doyle, of Sherlock Holmes fame, and some critics have seen Wilkie Collins as one of the most important precursors of detective fiction.

    
    
    

    In this class, we will read two of Wilkie Collins’ best-known and successful novels, The Woman in White and The Moonstone, as well as a third, somewhat lesser-known work, The Law and the Lady, which boasts one of the earliest – perhaps the earliest – female (amateur) detective in English fiction.

    
    
    

    Students are expected to have read all texts (some 1,500 pages!) before the respective sessions (dates will be provided in a syllabus), to participate in the discussions, and to write a term paper. Please make sure to enroll in the Blackboard class. We will start discussing The Woman in White in the third session.

    PS-Surveying English Literatures: Violence in Early Modern Drama (Marie Catherine Menzel)
    Schedule: Di 18:00-20:00 (Class starts on: 2024-10-15)
    Location: KL 29/208 Übungsraum (Habelschwerdter Allee 45)

    For early moderns, violence and death were ubiquitous. Not only were warfare and devastating illness part of everyday life for most people, but for entertainment, Londoners attended public executions and blood sports, especially animal baiting. Although many different genres of theatre existed, stage violence was also extremely popular. T.S. Eliot famously observed that the Jacobean playwright John Webster “was much possessed by death / And saw the skull beneath the skin”. This arguably applies to many early modern dramatists, in whose works the representations of violence range from the absurd to the philosophical to the gratuitous.

    
    

    In this seminar, we will be looking at two early modern tragedies that are (in)famous for their representations of extreme violence: Titus Andronicus—an early Shakespearean tragedy and considered by some to be Shakespeare’s worst play—and Webster’s later The Duchess of Malfi. Aside from using the opportunity to practice engagement with early modern drama and language, we will look into the sources and models for these representations of violence, analyse how violence functions as a feature of text and plot, learn about techniques of early modern stagings of violent acts, look into recent performances and think about what these plays and their features say to us as 21st century moderns.

    
    

    Full credits (5 LP) can be gained by participating in class regularly and actively, participating in and completing any class activities (e.g. presentations, group work, discussions …) and submitting a 2000-word essay (wissenschaftliche Hausarbeit) after the end of term. Exchange students are welcome.

    
    

    Content warning (#DeadDoveDoNotEat):

    
    

    The topic of this seminar is violence. The dramatic primary texts contain vivid descriptions of extreme and often racist and misogynist violence, including but not limited to mutilation, rape, femicide, torture, acts reminiscent of lynchings, cannibalism, conflict/war related violence, psychological cruelty, as well as offensive and discriminating language. The secondary reading will also concern itself with the visual theatrical representation of these scenes, discuss violence—fictional and non-fictional—in other contexts, and we may be looking at recordings of explicit recent productions.

    
    

    Please evaluate for yourself whether this is something you would like to critically engage with for an entire semester and write a paper about. If the answer is no (completely valid and understandable) I would urge you to choose a different seminar.

    
    
    

    Suggested reading

    Please make sure that you have access to fully annotated editions with on-page footnotes of both plays by the beginning of term (and have ideally started reading).

    
    
    

    Note that it is sometimes surprisingly difficult to obtain specific books. At the time of writing of this comment (August), print copies of annotated editions of The Duchess of Malfi appear to be in short supply. There are plenty of free options to read both dramatic texts themselves online and through the library, but you need to be able to study the language and its context in more detail to develop a full understanding. This is why you need annotated editions!

    
    
    

    If you decide to purchase digital annotated editions instead of printed ones, make sure that what you buy is a set pdf that mirrors the print edition and has the editorial footnotes on the respective page (no endnotes etc.). This makes it easy to navigate between text and editorial matter and to highlight and annotate in the margins. Any other formatting (epub, website text, endnotes …) is a pain to read and navigate and will make your life very difficult.

    
    
    

    Any recent-ish fully annoted edition will do (Norton Critical, Arden Third, New Mermaids …). How to recognise such an edition:

    
    
    
    
    • Each page of dramatic text has copious amounts of footnotes and explanations of words, terms and phrases, often taking up half the page or more. When you read the plays, make sure to look at those, too!
          
    • There is a thorough introduction to the play included, that explains a bit about the    drama’s sources, historical context, famous performances etc.
      
    • There is an extensive bibliography at the end, which will be helpful for your research when you start writing your seminar paper.
      
    • ‘Recent’ means published at least in the 1990s, the newer the better.
      
    • Avoid specialty editions, e.g. performance/actors editions, editions for use in schools, editions based on specific historical publications …
      
    
    
    

    Library Options:

    
    
    

    Duchess: The FU Philological Library has just ordered a print copy of the Norton Critical edition (yet to arrive at the time of writing), alongside a digital one which is useless because it only allows one user access at a time and zero downloads. The Staatsbibliothek has a printed copy of the Arden Third.

     
    
    

    Titus: The Philological Library has a print copy of the older unrevised Arden Third (1995).

    
    
    

    Please don’t hog the available print copies! Due to copyright restrictions, I am unable to provide a full scan of any edition.

     
    
    
    

    I will be working from the following editions:

    The course will give an overview of the questions, main approaches, and terminology of Cultural Studies. After a clarification of what we mean when we speak of ‘culture’ and a brief sketch of the historical development of (British) Cultural Studies, the course will focus on contemporary cultural phenomena (e.g. Britishness, cultural identity, constructions of gender and race, popular culture, etc.) as represented in different genres and media. These topics will serve as examples for an introduction to the basic theories and methods in Cultural Studies. The course will thus lay the foundation for the seminars in this module as well as in the “Culture – Gender – Media” module.

    The course will be organised as a series of weekly lectures with discussion.

    Today, images of Scottishness are strongly influenced by the myths of the Scottish nation that were created at the end of the eighteenth century. Novels still feature romantic Highlands, witches and ghosts and a celebration of what was later termed working-class lad culture. Yet today’s appropriations of these myths mostly come with a twist. In this seminar we will look at how myths of Scottishness are deployed and where they take readers in a context of accelerated globalisation after a failed Scottish independence referendum and after Brexit.

    Scottish folk tales have always been haunted by ghosts, witches or the devil – and these creatures haunt Scottish literature up to this day. One of the most persistent is the Doppelgänger. It has always been fascinating to writers, but it certainly reached a peak in the nineteenth century. In this period of high moral standards and utilitarian business acumen, questions of how to distinguish between good and evil became more and more pertinent to society – and incidents where moral categories collapsed were as much feared as a financial break-down. In this seminar we will follow the most famous pair, Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, through different media.

    As a field in which to practice working with the toolkit of cultural studies, screen adaptations offer a uniquely rich nexus – not least due to their enduring ubiquity and popularity, but also because they intersect with numerous different dimensions of cultural production. An in-depth look at any screen adaptation invites an engagement not only with the final audiovisual product, but also with questions of its medium specificity, its cultural capital, its imagined audience, its historical context, its position among other related adaptations, and its degree of “fidelity” – a highly contested notion in and of itself. Is there such a thing as a faithful adaptation? How are source texts transformed in their move from one medium to another? And on a broader scale: How has the practice of screen adaptation itself transformed in recent times? Are social media and platforms such as Netflix responsible for, as Harper Bullard (2023) puts it, “chang[ing] the world of book adaptation”? Before delving thoroughly into these and related questions, this seminar will start by familiarizing students with influential approaches to the study of adaptation by theorists such as Linda Hutcheon, Sarah Cardwell, and Eckart Voigts. We will then move through a selection of adaptations with different textual constellations, comprising media transfers such as: Booker prize novel to (heritage) film, children’s book to film, short story to short film, canonical novella to Netflix series, and graphic novel to Netflix series. The curriculum will explore, but is not limited to: The Remains of the Day (1993 film based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 1989 novel), Coraline (2009 film based on Neil Gaiman’s 2002 children’s book), The Sense of an Ending (2017 film based on Julian Barnes’s 2011 novel), The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020 Netflix miniseries based on Henry James’s 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw), season 1 of Heartstopper (2022 Netflix adaptation of Alice Oseman’s 2016 graphic novel), and the 2023 Netflix collection of short films The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More (based on a number of Roald Dahl short stories from the 1970s). In class, we will also try to identify at least one other recent adaptation that the majority of students would like to examine later in the semester.

    
     
    An organizational note: Many of the adaptations we will focus on are found on Netflix; students are therefore advised to ensure access to it to adequately participate in this course. Given the sizeable number of texts and adaptations we will consider, students are also encouraged to read and watch as much of the abovementioned material as possible before the third week of the semester.

    What could be sexier than a big thick juicy book of cultural theory? Since the beginning of cultural studies as a discipline, issues of sexuality have occupied a place of particular interest. When and why is sex taboo? Who gets to determine what kind of sexuality is acceptable? How does sex relate to power? How do representations of sex in media affect people’s wellbeing?

    
    
    

    In this course, we will be unpacking the work of philosophers and cultural studies theorists who have written about sex, and asking what they can tell us about culture today. We will be giving a particular focus to cultural theory and narratives related to monogamy and non-monogamy. You will practice reading and interpreting cultural theory, while also becoming familiar with different schools of thought about sexuality, and applying theory to your own analysis of cultural texts.

    
    
    

    Readings will be made available on Blackboard prior to the start of the course. Full credit can be obtained on the basis of regular participation in class discussions, reflection assignments, and the eventual submission of a research paper of approximately 2000 words.

    This seminar is meant to familiarize students with a variety of short medieval poems, both in Old English and Middle English. Following a few sessions devoted to literary-historical and generic questions, we shall start discussing Old English riddles and elegies, such as The Ruin and The Wanderer/i>. We shall then consider different kinds of Middle English poetry, including both secular (courtly lyrics and love poetry) as well as moral/devotional poetry. The discussions of the individual poems will be primarily text based (close reading), occasionally supplemented by relevant critical essays. A preliminary reading list will be available at the beginning of the semester.

    Old English was the language spoken and preserved in written texts up to the mid-eleventh century CE in the regions of the British Isles that today make up England and parts of Scotland. It developed from the languages spoken by Germanic peoples from the continental mainland and presents the earliest precursor of Modern English.

    
    

    In this course, we will focus on Old English texts written in verse, exploring their themes, styles, meanings, and the challenges of dealing with a language surviving only in a small number of often unique and damaged manuscripts. Texts we will be reading include heroic poetry, such as Beowulf, elegies, as well as Old English versions of Biblical texts. Students will be introduced to the grammar and pronunciation of Old English and will use their knowledge to work with the original texts alongside Modern English translations. Over the course of the semester, students will also produce short translations of their own.

    Historical novels, fantasy literature, TV productions and role-playing games – they all draw on and (re-)imagine medieval realities, tropes and narratives. More often than not, the fascination for the Middle Ages stems from their perceived difference to the modern world: As modernity’s Other they may appear as a Dark Age of cruelty, ignorance and superstition – or, in contrast, might represent a shining, more ‘original’ or ‘authentic’ way of life.

    
    

    This course examines ideas of the Middle Ages and the role they have been playing in the cultural imagination of the modern (Western) world. Together, we shall explore various forms of medievalism – the (re-)construction of what is, assumedly, medieval – and discuss its occurrence in literary texts, historical discourse and other forms of cultural expression such as film productions and computer games.

    
    

    The course introduces the concept of medievalism, familiarises the students with its relevance in current debates (e.g. on resurgent nationalisms, in postcolonial discourse and in queer studies) and enables them to critically analyse recurring tropes and functions of (re )imaginations of the medieval in contemporary contexts.

    This seminar teaches you how to apply the terminological concepts learned in Introduction to English Linguistics to the analysis of linguistic usage patterns. You will learn how to analyse the forms and meanings of authentic linguistic data, as well as to model linguistic research. The module examination will be a collaborative project involving a small-scale empirical study on a linguistic topic of your choice, with a subsequent oral presentation plus a written component. At the end of the course, you will be equipped with the basic skillset required for scientific research in linguistics.

    This course combines diachronic and synchronic perspectives on speech acts, i.e., how speakers ‘do things with words.’ After a short introduction to speech act theory and historical pragmatics, we will turn our attention to several diachronic case studies, such as greetings, insults, and swearing. In the second part of the course, we will then consider the realization of speech acts in different geographical varieties of English (with a focus on Outer and Expanding Circle Englishes).

    The Canterbury Tales (c. 1387) is Geoffrey Chaucer’s best-known work – and perhaps the best-known literary work of the English Middle Ages. A collection of shorter narratives – almost all of them in verse – the Tales plays a major role in the development of what we nowadays consider the canon of English literature and – not least because of its obvious affinities with Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decamerone– simultaneously stakes a claim for English letters within the wider context of European literature.

    
     

    Yet for all its indisputable canonicity the Tales is far more than a mere showcase of medieval poetic and narrative styles and genres. It betrays a fascination with tension and conflict, with debate and self-questioning that undermines all facile attempts to install the work and its author in the straightforward position of the fons et origo of an uninterrupted, glorious tradition of English literature. On the contrary, the Canterbury Tales presents itself as a rigorous investigation into such diverse issues as the roles of tradition and history for literature, the problem of social conflict and its representation in literature, the tensions between religion and aesthetics, the power and limitations of ideology and the relationship between gender and authority, to name but a few.

    
    

    Since even in its unfinished form the Canterbury Tales is a vast and sprawling work, this course will be able to deal only with a selection of the tales.

    
    

    Students are expected to have acquired an edition of the complete text by the first session of the course. This edition must be in the original Middle English and possess a full-fledged critical apparatus. Texts not meeting these standards will not be accepted in class. I recommend either the Riverside Chaucer (Larry D. Benson, ed., Oxford UP, 1988/2008) or the Penguin Classics edition (Jill Mann, ed., Penguin, 2005).

    Between the fourteenth and the sixteenth centuries, dream poetry was one of the most popular insular genres. Besides longer allegorical dream visions, such as William Langland’s Piers Plowman, most late-medieval English poets (including Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, John Lydgate, Robert Henryson, Gavin Douglas, William Dunbar, John Skelton) penned dream poetry. Based loosely upon twelfth- and thirteenth-century continental models, medieval English dream poetry frequently offers sustained reflections both about meta-poetic and epistemological issues. Following a couple of sessions concerned with literary-historical and generic questions, we will discuss Chaucer’s dream poetry (Book of the Duchess, Parliament of Fowls, House of Fame, Prologue to the Legend of Good Women). In the second part of the semester, we shall then read fifteenth- and sixteenth-century dream poetry, especially with a view to how poets engage with the Chaucerian models. A detailed reading list will be available at the beginning of the semester.

    English poetry from the Georgian Poets through to the 1960s followed many different trajectories that were problematic and fascinating mixtures of tradition and renewal, of adaptation and rebellion. The pivotal process behind these currents is the rise and trajectory of modernism – a term which notoriously defies definition and invites debate. While this lecture aims to keep close to the text of the poems, due attention will be given to their wider philosophical and ideological background.

    Today's image of Scotland is still dominated by the myth of peaty and moss-covered Highlands and their tartan-wearing hospitable inhabitants who entertain weary travellers with tales of ghosts and murderers. These apparently authentic traditions can often be traced back to the need to invent a Scottish national identity that was and still is used to claim independence. Not only have these inventions found their way into the novels of the time, but writers like James Macpherson, Robert Burns and Walter Scott can indeed be seen as the source of this mythical image of Scotland. In this seminar we will look at the myths these writers employ and construct, at how these inventions affect the image of a Scottish nation and why these myths use concepts of hospitality.

    The term ‘realism’ refers to style of representation characterized by a particular set of conventions, all of which aim at the verisimilitude (‘resemblance to reality’, ‘appearance of truth’) of the artistic work. These conventions of realist aesthetics in literature include, among other things, a richly detailed depicted world, the logical plausibility of plot and action, the complex psychology of the characters, as well as the intellectual reflection on the scientific and material conditions of empirical reality. At the same time, Realism also refers to the dominant literary epoch of the nineteenth century, whose literature was shaped by these very writing conventions. However, the term ‘realism’ often glosses over significant and subtle differences between the national forms of Realism in France, England, America, Russia, and Germany. In this seminar, we will focus on realism as a general aesthetics and an epistemological programme, and then move on to illuminate English realism in the 19th century (which, unlike French or German – ‘bourgeois’ or ‘poetic’ – realism, is less often at the centre of literary-historical discussion). In addition to important voices of English realism (e.g. George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Anthony Trollope), we will engage with concepts that are central to any debate on realism (such as ‘mimesis’ and Roland Barthes’ ‘reality effect’) and can help distinguish realism from its later, more intensified form – naturalism.

    London is a dazzling amalgam of social, ethnic and national identities: always and ineluctably a plurality of cities. One important reason for its plurality is the fact that London is no less haunted by the rich and problematic legacy of Britain's colonial past than cities such as Mumbai or Melbourne, and this course will look at three novels which register this influence. Please purchase Sam Selvon, The Lonely Londoners, Hanif Kureishi, The Buddha of Suburbia, Zadie Smith, White Teeth. Please read Sam Selvon's The Lonely Londoners for week two of the semester.

    This course will explore the Indian Ocean as a space of cultural exchange, migration, and storytelling, where centuries of human and ecological interaction have created a unique, interconnected world. We will investigate how writers, filmmakers, and artists have narrated the histories, ecologies, and diverse communities shaped by the Indian Ocean, while engaging with critical themes such as colonialism, global trade, forced and voluntary migration, and environmental transformation. From the movement of people—enslaved individuals, traders, refugees, and explorers—to the circulation of goods, ideas, and cultural practices, and the shifting ecologies that sustain and challenge these flows, we will explore how the Indian Ocean functions not merely as a passive backdrop but as an active force, shaping both human and non-human interactions across diverse temporal and spatial scales.

    In 1992, the Australian High Court officially recognised native title and thus the occupation of the Australian continent by indigenous Australians prior to European settlement. This landmark decision, known as the Mabo decision, effectively overturned the precept of terra nullius (empty land belonging to no one) that grounded European colonial expansion on the continent, thus rewriting Australian colonial history as one of invasion, dispossession, genocide and deracination. Yet the retelling of Australian colonial history was not left uncontested. The years following the Mabo decision also witnessed the proliferation of tensions between ‘black Armband’ and ‘white Blindfold’ views of history as the Australian nation attempted to deal with the legacies of a traumatic and violent past. This course examines the ways in which various Australian filmmakers have attempted to negotiate relations between Aboriginal Australians and European settlers in the wake of Mabo. Over the course of the semester, students will critically interrogate a range of films by both black and white Australians in order to assess not only the ways in which the recognition of Aboriginal land rights and the revision of history has been negotiated in filmmaking at the turn of the new millennium, but similarly to consider the ways that these films attempt to forge a future that admits of difference and equality.

    The subject of our seminar will be the literature and culture of the Victorian fin de siècle(ca. 1880-1900) in Britain, a short, but central, period in British cultural history that marked the end of one epoch and hailed the beginning of another. Uncomfortably situated between two centuries, it was long regarded as being ‘lost in transition’, alternatively interpreted as the tail-end of the Victorian age or as a period foreshadowing the Modernist onslaughts of the early twentieth century. In line with these assumptions, late-nineteenth century cultural commentators can largely be divided into two camps: those that feared the prospect of a dying age, envisioning not only a fin de siècle, but an imminent fin du globe, and those that delightedly greeted the dawning century as an exhilarating time of new beginnings. Twenty-first-century critics have righty emphasised the period’s modernity by pointing to the many cultural configurations and developments that can be perceived as palpably novel at the fin de siècle: the ‘New Woman’ questioned traditional conceptions of femininity; ‘New Men’ (such as aesthetes and decadents) relished a lifestyle far removed from bourgeois notions of masculinity; developments in foreign policy and rebellions in select areas of the British Empire resulted in an aggressive ‘New Imperialism’; a sensational form of newspaper reportage came to be labelled the ‘New Journalism’; and literary reviews registered a ‘New Realism’ in fiction by George Gissing, Arthur Morrison and George Moore. In this seminar we will read a wide variety of texts (scientific, literary, visual and expository) to appreciate the sheer variety of cultural concerns at the Victorian fin de siècle. We will critically engage with the many intellectual issues (concerning race, gender, sexuality, technology, science and the arts) which challenged the ‘Victorian frame of mind’. Our approach will be of the textual-historicist variety: rather than summarising the cultural strands of the period through recourse to secondary material, students will be encouraged to analyse a large amount of primary texts by journalistic, scientific, political and imaginative writers as diverse as H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, W. T. Stead, Charles and William Booth, Arthur Symons, Sarah Grand, ‘Mona Caird’, Andrew Lang, Joseph Chamberlain, William Morris, T. H. Huxley, F. W. H. Myers, Havelock Ellis and Karl Pearson. Furthermore, we will read at least one full-length novel, Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891) and relate it to the rich cultural context provided by the fin de siècle. Students must own a copy of the following volume, around which this seminar is built: Ledger, Sally, and Roger Luckhurst, eds. The Fin de Siècle. A Reader in Cultural History, c. 1880-1900 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000).

    Food is not just essential for human survival, it is also a fundamental part of individual and cultural identities. Food preferences are shaped by national or regional traditions and religious dietary restrictions or other ethical criteria, by individual family rituals, by class and sometimes also by gender. Food from other parts of the world can serve as a means of cultural encounter and (imaginary) travel. In turn, together with people on the move, food also migrates and merges with other culinary traditions. Food therefore carries meaning and functions as a means of communication, but cooking and eating rituals also form the basis of fundamental cultural practices that establish community, hospitality and conviviality. The course will give an introduction to the transdisciplinary field of Food Studies, including theoretical approaches to thinking about food. Our discussion will then move on to representations and negotiations of food in a variety of literary and non-literary genres and media (poetry, short stories, essays, films, cookbooks) from different Anglophone countries.

    Texts will be uploaded on Blackboard.

    Assessment will be on the basis of regular attendance, active participation in class activities (such as response papers, short presentations, group work) and the submission of an essay (c. 4000 words).

    This seminar introduces students to the field of ESP (English for Specific Purposes), commonly defined as the teaching of English to nonnative speakers in a specific professional domain. The seminar is based on the notion of English as an international language (EIL) with an important (and sometimes critical) role in professional communication. We will discuss the theoretical foundations of linguistic research into EIL, then move on to the particular requirements and challenges of teaching specialized English to adult professionals and finally explore the use of English in a number of professional fields, such as aviation, medicine, law, academia, tourism and others. Students will be required to design and participate in student-led thematic sessions.
