- Beschreibung:
- The proposed block seminar navigates the multifaceted landscape of perceptions surrounding homosexuality in the country. Delving into contrasting views that oscillate between deeming homosexuality a Western import and celebrating a purported glorious past, the seminar aims to strike a delicate balance. It begins by problematizing the terminology of Queer, favoring terms like 'same-sex love/desire' over identity-based labels, and explores how Queer Activism in India drew from mythology and history in the face of a prevalent homophobic discourse. The impact of British colonialism, especially through Section 377, is scrutinized, challenging notions of homosexuality as a foreign influence. Subsequent sessions journey through the Mughal period's literary and cultural practices, critically examining influences of Christian/Victorian morals on indigenous sexuality. The seminar then traverses literary and cinematic realms, analyzing works like "Lihaaf" and contributions by contemporary writers, while investigating the role of Indian cinema in shaping perceptions of homosexuality. It also sheds light on the significant influence of the Indian diaspora on contemporary queer culture, followed by discussions on the intersection of HIV-AIDS, Section 377, and media discourse in Post-Independence India. Finally, the seminar concludes with an exploration of the 'Out in Public' phase, focusing on the visibility and audibility of the Queer movement through queer film festivals and Pride Marches, notably the Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival and Queer Azadi Mumbai Pride March. This comprehensive journey aims to provide participants with a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding Queer Culture in India.

- Beschreibung:
- The topic of this seminar will be the forms, functions and politics of English as the world’s most important language, for better or worse. We will first look at recent changes in both American and British English and consider the evidence for American influence on British English – or is it the other way round? We will then tackle English as a link language in international contexts, such as Euro-English and English as a lingua franca (ELF). English as a contact language has also given rise to hybrid and grassroots Englishes which are spoken by more and more people around the globe and also feature on the internet. Finally, we will assess the impact of the spread of English from the perspective of language policies and linguistic human rights.

- Beschreibung:
- There are many enduring myths about language(s) and language use in the popular imagination, for example:• Women talk more than men,• Speakers of a dialect are dumber than speakers of the standard language,• Our language is continually deteriorating, and this is mainly due to anglicisms/the youth/the internet,• A multilingual nation will always have language conflicts,• Some languages are better (more beautiful, more expressive, simpler, older, …) than others.This lecture is dedicated to looking behind such myths. We will discuss how language myths arise, how they are perpetuated, which interests they serve, and how we can come to more realistic ideas about language and language use.

- Beschreibung:
- English is unusual among the European vernaculars in having developed a standard twice in its history: Old English already possessed a West Saxon standard, which was however cut short by the Norman Conquest in 1066. For centuries, the main languages of written record were Latin and French rather than English. When English re-emerged as a written language in the 14th and 15th century, the process of standardization was about to start afresh.This course will be devoted to tracing the origins, forms and functions of Standard English. We will consider the putative origins of the standard in the late medieval Chancery English and will then focus on the relevant developments in the Early Modern English period, the age of prescriptivism, elaboration and codification of the English language. Another important issue concerns the ideology of the standard: we will probe into the rise and the consequences of the standard ideology in present-day English.

- Beschreibung:
- If we agree that William Labov is the founding father of Sociolinguistics, then New York City is its cradle: the study of how specific linguistic features acquire social meaning and then come to be used to mark prestige within an urban speech community was pioneered in New York, but has been replicated and refined in many other contexts. Today, the communicative space in large cities is increasingly marked by multilingualism as a consequence of different aspects of globalization, giving rise to concerns beyond the original sociolinguistic focus – for example language(s) and identity, language policy and planning, sociolinguistics of globalization, or superdiversity, to name but a few. We will first (re-)acquaint ourselves with basic sociolinguistic notions by studying Labov’s original work in New York City. We will then move on to urban communicative spaces that have been in the linguistic limelight (but some more so than others) such as London, Singapore, and Dublin, but also to Berlin and others.
