APTE-Units aims at developing your competence of planning, implementing, analysing and reflecting on complex EFL units tailored to the needs and potentials of language learners at different types of school. To give you comprehensive support at these stages, the course is divided into three successive phases centering around your practical teaching experience 'Schulpraktikum im Bock'(SPB):
Phase 1 (pre-SPB) precedes your SPB and allows you to cooperate to plan, analyze and reflect on complex EFL units.
Phase 2 (while-SPB) accompanies your SPB activities and invites you to share, analyse and reflect on both your observations and teaching experiences with a focus on good practice.
Phase 3 (post-SPB) follows up your SPB and provides you with the opportunity to share your analysis and reflection of key teaching experiences.
In all three phases, a special focus will be on supporting learners in their individual learning processes in a task-based environment en route to intercultural communicative competence - taking advantage of the potential of (digital) media, developing intercultural citizenship and considering education for sustained development.
EXAMS
Lehramt:
The exam APTE-Komplexe Leistung consists of a portfolio which requires the previous completion of APTE-Units (all 3 phases), APTE-SPB, APTE-Classroom English and one of the elective courses (APTE-Individualized Teaching, APTE-Virtual Teaching, APTE-Cross-Curricular Teaching or APTE-Teaching Linguistic Means) as it integrates tasks related to all APTE courses.
M.A.WiPäd:
The exam APTE-Referat can be completed in the context of APTE-Units (phase 3: post-SPB). Dates for this Prüfungsleistung will already be assigned in the penultimate session of APTE-Units (phase 1: pre-SPB).
The exam APTE-Portfolio requires the previous completion of APTE-Units (all 3 phases) and APTE-SPB as it integrates tasks related to all APTE courses.

This course should be taken by all year 2 State Exam (Grundschule) students before their teaching practice (SPÜ).
This course is exclusively for students training to work in primary schools. The course will concentrate on learning and practising the language needed for conducting lessons in English in the primary school. One part of the seminar will focus on the language required for the classroom (equipment, classroom surroundings, the organization of class activities, discipline, games etc). The other part of the seminar will involve a simulation in which the seminar group acts as a school class and students take over, in turns, the role of teacher and present a teaching unit from the school curriculum, devising their own methods and materials. This is then followed by a discussion of the presentation. A visit to an English lesson in a primary school is also planned.
Materials:
The materials should be purchased at EMF Bürotechnik, Zellescher Weg 21, 01217 Dresden. Please bring these materials to the first meeting
Prerequisites:
- the Entry Test must have been passed.
- participants must be matriculated for Primary School with specialisation in English
- the courses in Pronunciation and Intonation, and Grammar must already have been completed. - Zuordnungen

I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different.
Rousseau
The notions of ‘public’ and ‘private’ have always been clearly delineated as a binary throughout the Western imagination. This binary is still a crucial reality in modern societies because it fundamentally influences notions of intimacy, privacy, the personal, and the political. Therefore, it is directly linked to societal power structures, discourses, and (collective) subject positions. US American literary critic Michael Warner highlights that the public/private dichotomy is not “just a distinction but a hierarchy” (359) where the notions of the ‘public’ and the ‘public sphere’ are prioritized and conceptualized in a higher position than concepts of the ‘private’. This hierarchization reciprocally creates and is supported by discourses on gender, sexuality, race, and their intersections. A prime example would be the separation and gender coding of the ‘domestic’ and the ‘public’ spheres in the 19th century when the average household was considered to be a ‘female space’, which defined women as the ‘homemaker’. Simultaneously the public sphere was understood as a male space and men were supposed to ‘go out there’ and be the breadwinner in conventional and heteronormative family structures. In this Übung/Proseminar, we will deal with diverse literary and cultural material that belongs to ‘genres of intimacy’ where the notions of public and private are sometimes reinforced, and sometimes subverted, inverted, and even reconciled. Throughout the course, we will analyze ‘confessional’ genres in the form of poetry. We will also look at life narratives in different formats such as comic books. We will focus on stand-up shows and their representations of an intimate self as well as self-help media formats such as daytime talk shows. Last but not least, we will focus on representations of Blackness and their tensions in popular music, specifically hip-hop.

This course is designed to familiarize students with the conceptual tools necessary for the analysis of film. Students will form groups to work through and give presentations on the history and theory of Hollywood cinema, the terminology with which to analyze cinematic techniques, as well as on analytical categories such as race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability. The goal of the seminar is to equip students with the vocabulary as well as historical and theoretical background needed for the analysis of cinematography and the filmic constructions and representations of diverse social and cultural differences.
The seminar will largely be based on the following book, of which copies will be made available through the SLUB: Harry M. Benshoff and Sean Griffin. America on Film: Representing Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality at the Movies. 3rd ed., Wiley-Blackwell, 2021.
The course will include one session that introduces students to library research.

- Feminisms, as social movements and theoretical project, have always been struggling with self-positioning. Feminist thinkers are self-conscious about the main challenges of today’s movements: grappling with issues of class and commercialization, from pink capitalism to ‘faux feminisms’ and the ideological threat of racist, classist, and trans-exclusionary movements appropriating feminisms. This seminar will explore the plurality of feminism(s), as social movements, philosophical theories, and subject position. This translates into three foci in the seminar structure: applied gender theory in social movements, feminist subjectivity, and feminist aesthetics, where we will focus on recurring topoi in feminist cultural productions such as humor, autobiography, and ‘witchiness.’ We will explore these topics mostly through feminist manifestos, for example Feminism for the 99% by Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, and Nancy Fraser (2019), Sara Ahmed’s “Killjoy Manifesto” (2016) or the “W.I.T.C.H. Manifesto” (1968), in addition to relevant theoretical texts by Lauren Berlant, Teresa Ebert, and bell hooks, among others.

- Detective fiction revolves around unravelling murder mysteries, aiming to identify the perpetrator, and restoring order. Detectives are often portrayed as intelligent and observant agents who solve crimes and identify criminals by deductive reasoning and intuition. Detectives’ “art of detection” (Link 2023, 25) aims to identify ‘deviants’ at whom the disciplinary gaze should be directed. Moreover, the traditional detective has been a straight, white male (Priestman 2003) whose disciplinary gaze and perception are influenced by prevailing power dynamics and cultural norms (cf. Rives-East 2015). In this seminar, we will problematise this archetype in the modern imagination. Firstly, we will conceptualise observation as an essential apparatus to facilitate control (cf. Foucault 1975, 170) and question the detective’s role in popular consciousness. Then, we will focus on the construction of ‘deviance’ and analyse modern representations, in which ‘moral’ detectives identify ‘evil’ criminals and assign guilt (cf. Pyrhoenen and Gieri 1999, 5). In doing so, we aim to challenge the hierarchy between the observant detective and the observed criminal, a hierarchy that is constructed through morality. Finally, we will discuss the cultural, social, and political implications of a straight, white male detective and analyse several contemporary representations that subvert this archetype, where female private eyes, black detectives, and queer private investigators are at work. Participants are expected to watch and read the primary sources critically in light of the theoretical approaches we will discuss together. The ‘Prüfungsleistung’ and the required reading will be announced in the first session.

- Over the course of the winter term, we will together explore the intersections of visual culture and postcolonial studies to understand the vital role of the visual for the British Empire. By analysing visual (and audio-visual) materials, such as illustrations, caricatures, maps, photographs, films etc., we will pose questions of representation, communication between coloniser and colonised, forms of gazing, the ethics of looking – and how these have been complicated, reappropriated or possibly reversed in postcolonial visual discourse.

- The interdisciplinary field of British Cultural Studies is concerned with the ways in which culture is (re)produced, negotiated and challenged within intersecting power structures and social relations and the corresponding divisions and struggles. It offers a set of theories, texts and transdisciplinary approaches to analyse facets of (everyday) culture, especially with regard to their political dimensions. Thus, questions relating to representation, materialism, subjectivity, identity and difference/alterity, power and hegemony are central. This lecture serves as an introduction to influential theoretical concepts and methods of British Cultural Studies, such as signifying practices, ideology, discourse, identity categories like class, ‘race’, gender, sexuality and nationality, as well as their transformation over time. The course consists of a weekly lecture and is accompanied by mandatory one-hour tutorials.

In this seminar, we will investigate what shaped and continues to shape cultural imaginations of the Frontier in North America. Why is the imagination of the Frontier so closely linked to ideas of wilderness and what constitutes a stereotypical pioneer? What gets misrepresented and left out of those imaginations? How has the idea of the Frontier changed and developed over time and how – if so – is it relevant for contemporary culture and literature? What does it imply to speak of something or someplace as “the last Frontier”? And, most important of all, how can we critically engage with these ideas in American Cultural and Literary Studies?
Starting in the late 19th century, we will cover a wide range of textual and visual examples from both settler colonial and Indigenous viewpoints. Looking at different means and modes of narration and interpretation, we will identify patterns and divergences. Furthermore, we will explore how we can link these ideas together and relate them to contemporary issues of migration, climate crises and even “space cowboys.” As the seminar progresses, we will hence trace how pioneers and the Frontier are no longer only associated with wilderness, but also with questions of energy supplies, global shipping routes and, increasingly, technological revolutions, ideas of space exploration and terraforming. - Zuordnungen

Tsitsi Dangarembga is one of the most renowned female African authors of the twenty-first century as she has attracted critical attention at both regional and international levels as the first female writer in Zimbabwean literature in English. Her fiction explores questions and conditions of womanhood in relation to race, class, and the postcolonial challenges that define contemporary Zimbabwe.
This seminar provides students with an introduction to African Literature in English, and traces its historical development from the colonial era, when it served as a form of anti-colonial resistance, to the present postcolonial situation, in which it negotiates not only colonial legacies but also current problems of Zimbabwean culture and society. With the help of This Mournable Body (2018) students will learn how to critically engage with literature. Through a close reading of the novel, we will examine intersecting issues of gender, class, race, and religion. In doing so, we will pay special attention to the body as a site of Zimbabwe’s postcolonial challenges that continue to impact the everyday experience of marginalised communities in particular. - Zuordnungen

In light of G.K. Chesterton's assertion that "[f]airy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten", Neil Gaiman's Coraline (2002) is exemplary of how children's literature explores the thin line between 'fantasy' and 'reality' and opens new ways of understanding self and world.
Starting our exploration with a brief introduction to the reading and understanding of literature, this seminar will critically examine representations of childhood and adulthood as well as aspects of gender, age, and belonging through a close reading of the text. We will investigate the role of children's literature in processes of socialisation and identity formation, with special attention to Gaiman's blending of different literary traditions – such as the fairy tale, bildungsroman, or Gothic and horror story – which put fear, violence, and struggle in relation to learning and (personal) growth.
So, grab your keys and get ready to explore. And please do (not) forget to lock the door… - Zuordnungen

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the methods of literary analysis and concepts of literary theory. It will introduce students to central issues in the study of literary texts, such as basic narrative elements, and will discuss the three major textual genres, as well as film and its terminology. The introduction gives an overview of the most important periods of Literatures in English, and raises issues of key literary theories. The course pays special attention to questions such as: What is literature and what is a text? How do we identify and read a text? What is the role of theory in reading literary texts? What are story, plot, point of view, and setting?
We will apply these concepts and categories to various examples, including classic texts, contemporary poetry, and popular culture. All necessary materials will be provided at the beginning of the semester (via OPAL). The introductory course is accompanied by a mandatory tutorial. The time slots will be announced at the beginning of the semester. - Zuordnungen

In its basic design the class is part of the Linguistics module for all first-year students (as an alternative to “Introduction to Diachronic Linguistics”). You may choose freely which version of the “Introduction” you prefer. You only need to pass one of them.
Using language is terribly simple – everyone does it every day. How to describe language and language use is the topic of this course. Together we will explore the structure of this highly complex and efficient mode of expression in its different functions. We will begin with the smallest distinctive units in language, the speech sounds, and work our way towards more complex units, namely words, phrases, and, finally, sentences. In addition, we will discuss the notion of ‘meaning’ and how meaning can be both context-dependent and context-independent. Finally, we will consider different varieties of English around the globe as well as the basics of doing linguistic research. In contrast to the “Introduction to Diachronic Linguistics”, this class focuses mainly on Present-Day English and, accordingly, provides a more detailed look at current forms of English.
The introductory course is accompanied by a tutorial (1 h per week). The specific time slots will be announced in the first session. - Zuordnungen

- There are nearly 400 million native speakers of English worldwide and many who speak it as a second or foreign language, making it one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Despite speaking the same language, some English speakers may struggle to understand each other and so it might happen that, for instance, a speaker from Los Angeles can hardly follow a speaker from Glasgow in a conversation. Each variety of English has a distinctive sound that distinguishes it from others. This class will delve into the sound – or rather the sounds – of selected varieties of the English language, as well as explore their historical background.

We all have one, we all use them to refer to family, friends, colleagues but also cities, villages, rivers or mountains. Even though we might not be aware of it, but names surround us in our everyday lives and interactions.
People have always had the tendency to trace their family roots – including the family name. Still, this is not the only possible focus of the study of names, onomastics. In this seminar methods and theories in name studies will be discussed and used as tools to analyse historical developments of proper names and toponyms, to investigate semantic changes as well as developments caused by language contact.
In addition, the seminar will also address names in a synchronic real-world context but also in the realm of fiction. Thus, in the end the participants will be able to name why He-who must-not-be-named bears no name and why Gandalf is not only a mere name. - Zuordnungen

Who were the Anglo-Saxons and what do they have to do with the English language? Who were Bede or Ælfric? These and many more questions will be tackled by this course in order for you to learn more about a culture which is 1500 to 500 years removed from the present.
At a beginner's level you will be introduced to some important historical aspects that shaped the Middle Ages in England, some of which still influencing our contemporary culture. In addition to that, we will also look into linguistic developments that have affected the English language over the course of centuries to shape what you know as Present Day English. With this, the course aims at providing a diachronic perspective onto the English language and culture. - Zuordnungen

Rugged love interests, relentless self-improvement, tales of heartbreak, abundant alcohol consumption, and frantic last-minute dashes through crowded cities – most, if not all, of these plot points are hallmarks of romance novels or "Chick Lit". Though intended primarily for women and focused on women’s experiences, the genre is paradoxically criticized as post-feminist and accused of undermining the progress feminism has achieved in recent decades. It is frequently dismissed as "candy floss romance" (Ferris & Young 2006: 2), yet it continues to be a hugely popular, profitable, and influential part of contemporary fiction.
Through close readings of selected texts, we will explore whether and how Chick Lit challenges or reinforces gendered beliefs about women, and whether it should be considered feminist or anti-feminist—or if such a binary framing is even useful. Additionally, we will examine the social fantasies these works engage in and trace how female authorship has been constructed throughout literary history. Romance literature will also be analysed as a deconstruction of traditional notions of femininity. - Zuordnungen

- Over the past decades, queer theory has gained increasing significance for the field of cultural studies beyond scholarly attention to representations of queer lives. Thus, for instance, conceptions of queer temporalities and queer readings of ‘negative’ affects feed into (affective) ecocriticism, not least of all regarding negotiations of affect in the face of climate disaster. This seminar will introduce students to (excerpts from) key works of queer theory, which we will paradigmatically apply to Russell T. Davies’ 2015 series Banana (E4). For each of the theoretical texts, we will also consider its wider implications for the field of (British) cultural studies.

- This seminar aims to challenge pervasive biomedical understandings of mental distress by exploring the socio-political dimensions of psychiatric practice and public attitudes towards mental distress and people living with psychiatric diagnoses. We will begin with a historical overview of the evolution of psychiatric practices, paying particular attention to the operation of power, control, and the medicalisation of human experience. Students will then be introduced to key texts from the fields of critical psychiatry, mad studies and neurodiversity studies. Finally, we will turn to the role of various media in shaping public perceptions of mental distress and people labelled as mentally ill. The seminar culminates in a two-day student conference (22 & 23 February). In their papers, students will critically analyse media representations of their choice to uncover the stereotypes, myths, and tropes that perpetuate stigmatising views of mental distress – or texts which challenge precisely these. Papers should explore how these representations influence societal attitudes and reinforce or challenge dominant discourses regarding mental distress and/or madness. Throughout the seminar, students will be encouraged to critically reflect on their own assumptions and biases regarding mental health, as well as the broader cultural and societal implications of psychiatric practices and representations of mental distress.

John Fowles is one of the biggest names in British writing of the 1960s and 70s. His novels, novellas and short stories are characterized by a playfulness not often found in British fiction of his time, they are fun to read and philosophically as well as aesthetically extremely interesting. Moreover, many of Fowles's books – such as The Ebony Tower, The French Lieutenant's Woman or The Magus – have since been made into popular films, further indicating that even today these texts have lost nothing of their fascination and relevance.
This seminar will give a general introduction to the work of John Fowles, its literary, philosophical and cultural contexts, and then focus on the following points: How do the playfulness and metafiction in Fowles's novels work? How are men and women, how is sexuality represented in these texts? What is the philosophical dimension of Fowles's work? How does it combine humanism with existentialism, and how are we to understand these philosophies, ranging from Heraklitus to Nietzsche, Camus and Sartre?
A syllabus and a bibliography will be available at the first meeting.

The presidential election of 2024 has once again highlighted the central role of democracy as a discourse object in American public debates and, moreover, the study of American culture(s). The legitimacy of American democracy, its stability, its promises are matters of urgent debates that go back to the founding of the nation. The seminar will zoom in on select aspects of democracy in the United States from a decidedly cultural-studies point of view, such as mediatized struggles of demographic groups for access to participation in public life, textual strategies of authorizing demands for fundamental civil rights, and modes of organizing campaigns that redress grievances and call for the recognition of group-based interests. By reading a variety of historical sources, cultural texts, and secondary literature that shape discourses of democracy, we will approach questions concerning, among other things, the values and shortcomings of democracy and the implications of this for today. We will do so by combing through one of the foundational and state-of-the-art works in American cultural studies scholarship of recent years: Greil Marcus and Werner Sollors. A New Literary History of America. Harvard UP, 2012, https://doi-org.wwwdb.dbod.de/10.4159/9780674054219. We will examine how select essays in this volume put a spotlight on various personas, texts, and thematic aspects of debates on American democracy at different moment in time. A willingness to engage in history and theory will be mandatory for participation in the seminar.
The seminar begins in the first week of the semester. - Zuordnungen

The seminar is prompted by the ongoing privileging of expressive individualism that is expressed not least through notions of singular authorship in US American cultural history. Against the backdrop of the emergence of singular authorship around 1800, due in part to the passing of copyright laws, the course aims to review and assess co-written texts and artifacts that were created in the United States from the late eighteenth century to the present. We will examine various types of collaborative authorship and co-making, their historical formations, and their medial manifestations in written texts, the performance arts, film, the internet, etc. with an eye on their manifest and latent functions. Models of cultural collaboration challenge normative dimension of singular authorship and its link to individualism so prominent in the U.S. Seminar participants will thus explore and contribute to debates on the nexus of cultural production and discursive authorization.
The seminar begins in the first week of the semester. - Zuordnungen

It is almost impossible to clearly delineate what we mean when we say “Disney” – the iconic signature that might appear in our mind’s eye is evocative of so many things all at once: the man, Walt, an embodiment of the American dream with his ‘from-rags-to riches’ story; the Studios that have produced many generations worth of cultural imagination; theme parks that claim to be “the happiest places on earth”; a canon of popular films with immense mass cultural impact; an ideology that has global reach. Disney’s mythology and cultural capital is dependent on and imbricated in all these manifestations and more, establishing “Disney” almost as a metonym for “America”.
Disney is especially associated with adapting well-known fairy tales and developing their own “Disney version.” But rather than contributing to a diverse and ever-growing body of fairy tale adaptations, many critics feel that Disney films dominate the form in such a way that their renditions take over and rewrite the source text and any other versions. Considering their global reach of audiences, this has immense mass cultural implications. In this seminar, we will take a look at a range of Disney movies across time from the earlier classics to more contemporary reimaginings and explore their ideological charge, reading them both against earlier versions as well as against a selection of key texts in critical theory: How do these Disney films imagine gender roles, how do they represent race? How do they use aesthetics and music to guide our emotional experiences? What imaginative spaces do they open up, and what do they make us hope and dream for? And how have these things changed over time?
DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that this course is a compact course and is structured mainly as four days of intensive class discussion. Students are therefore required to prepare for these sessions with a high degree of self-guided discipline and time management. In-depth knowledge of the reading material and the films is absolutely essential for participation in our four day-long sessions.

• attendance and active participation
• in-depth knowledge of the reading material
• written reader responses engaging with the material as preparation for our sessions

- Pronouns in English are fascinating for many reasons: They belong to the ‘closed’ word classes but, at the same time, they carry important social meaning and indicate social hierarchies. Despite being a closed word class, they have undergone significant change from the earliest forms to the forms used in the present day, with a major example being the shift from th-forms, such as thou, to y-forms, such as you. In this class, we will investigate the history, forms, and functions of pronouns in English. We will discuss why we need pronouns, how they are used, and why they are such a good example of language at the interface of grammar and society. We will also discuss phenomena such as ‘bronouns’ and compare pronoun usage in English to pronoun usage in other languages. Attention will also be given to neopronouns and current debates on pronouns in relation to gender identities.

Regarding pronunciation and intonation, we aim to identify the students’ problem areas, tune in students’ ears to pronunciation style and speech rhythm (stress patterns, weak forms, linking), provide practical information on articulatory phonetics and (some) phonology of English, practise interpreting and writing passages in phonetic script, identify characteristic segmental and suprasegmental features in given (oral and/or written) passages, establish islands of perfection (speaking complex passages in near-perfect form) as stepping-stones to progress and improvement. The skills and knowledge gained here will be developed in the year two Listening and Speaking course. Parts of the seminars will be dedicated to practising and describing grammatical phenomena concerning verbs and tenses. Materials: 1) “The England Pronunciation Course” book and 2 CDs (€18) used in British English classes Book (and CDs) will be sold in class - please bring €18 to the first meeting 2) Other course materials: American English: Materials should be purchased at EMF Bürotechnik, Zellescher Weg 21, 01217 Dresden. Please bring these materials to the first meeting British English: Script should be purchased at EMF Bürotechnik, Zellescher Weg 21, 01217 Dresden.

Wochentag Uhrzeit Ort Durchführung Montag 4. Doppelstunde BSS/133/U In Präsenz - Beschreibung
- This course deals with basic and advanced grammar concepts and targets the particular problems foreigners in general and Germans in particular commonly have with English grammar. This course builds on the knowledge of grammar gained at school, but whereas “Abitur” classes often concentrate on communicative skills, this university course will focus on accuracy and knowledge of grammatical structures. Although students have encountered and practised most aspects of English grammar at school, many do not control them well. Using a contrastive approach, this class will address the English verb system, the peculiarities of nouns and their determiners, part-of-speech analysis, parsing, gerunds vs. infinitives, collocations, phrasal verbs, types of subordinate clauses, modal verbs, word order (inversion etc), and adjective vs. adverb problems. Exercises will include: gap-filling, transformations, error correction, translation and sentence analysis. Since the philosophy of the class is partly based on a contrastive approach, translation from German into English will also play a role. Reference books will be recommended in class. Materials: The materials should be purchased at EMF Bürotechnik, Zellescher Weg 21, 01217 Dresden. Please bring these materials to the first meeting Prerequisites: the Entry Test must have been passed.

Wochentag Uhrzeit Ort Durchführung Donnerstag 2. Doppelstunde SE2/123/U In Präsenz - Beschreibung
- We recommend that students take this Listening and Speaking course before their period of residence in an English-speaking country. This course aims firstly to familiarise students with naturally spoken English and a variety of accents, thereby improving listening comprehension skills; secondly we aim to improve students' own general speaking skills by encouraging students to adopt aspects of what they hear from the listening exercises into their own speaking. Spoken language will be analysed in detail, especially those aspects which hinder comprehension e.g. contractions, linking, etc. The skills and knowledge practised and gained in Year 1 Pronunciation and Intonation will be further developed and refined. Students will also practise the rhetorical skills necessary in giving presentations and short talks. This part of the course should help students give better papers in other seminars. We shall also deal with grammatical problems as they occur. There will be two main tests: (1) a test in listening skills in the form of a written exam, and (2) a speaking test at the end of the semester. Materials: Materials should be purchased at EMF Bürotechnik, Zellescher Weg 21, 01217 Dresden. Please bring these materials to the first meeting Prerequisites: 1: the Entry Test must have been passed. 2: the Pronunciation and Intonation course must already have been completed.

- The aims of this course are to raise awareness of lexical range and lexical variety (geographical, stylistic), to identify recurring lexical problem areas of German speakers of English (as far as practicable also of speakers of English with mother-tongues other than English), to improve personal performance in appropriateness, precision and range of lexical expression, to increase familiarity with deduction techniques, to provide some theoretical information on the structure of (English) vocabulary as far as of practical help, and to inform students about learning materials and techniques. In the course, students work on common problematic lexical areas, extract vocabulary (words, word groups) from texts, establish personal vocabulary lists, practise using dictionaries and thesauri, work out word fields, identify and use word formation processes, practise variations in range and variety of written and oral expression, and experiment with different learning techniques. Materials: The materials should be purchased at EMF Bürotechnik, Zellescher Weg 21, 01217 Dresden.

- The aims of this course are to raise awareness of lexical range and lexical variety (geographical, stylistic), to identify recurring lexical problem areas of German speakers of English (as far as practicable also of speakers of English with mother-tongues other than English), to improve personal performance in appropriateness, precision and range of lexical expression, to increase familiarity with deduction techniques, to provide some theoretical information on the structure of (English) vocabulary as far as of practical help, and to inform students about learning materials and techniques. In the course, students work on common problematic lexical areas, extract vocabulary (words, word groups) from texts, establish personal vocabulary lists, practise using dictionaries and thesauri, work out word fields, identify and use word formation processes, practise variations in range and variety of written and oral expression, and experiment with different learning techniques. Materials: The materials should be purchased at EMF Bürotechnik, Zellescher Weg 21, 01217 Dresden. Please bring these materials to the first meeting Prerequisites: the Entry Test must have been passed

- We recommend that students take this Listening and Speaking course before their period of residence in an English-speaking country. This course aims firstly to familiarise students with naturally spoken English and a variety of accents, thereby improving listening comprehension skills; secondly we aim to improve students' own general speaking skills by encouraging students to adopt aspects of what they hear from the listening exercises into their own speaking. Spoken language will be analysed in detail, especially those aspects which hinder comprehension e.g. contractions, linking, etc. The skills and knowledge practised and gained in Year 1 Pronunciation and Intonation will be further developed and refined. Students will also practise the rhetorical skills necessary in giving presentations and short talks. This part of the course should help students give better papers in other seminars. We shall also deal with grammatical problems as they occur. There will be two main tests: (1) a test in listening skills in the form of a written exam, and (2) a speaking test at the end of the semester. Materials: Materials should be purchased at EMF Bürotechnik, Zellescher Weg 21, 01217 Dresden. Please bring these materials to the first meeting Prerequisites: 1: the Entry Test must have been passed. 2: the Pronunciation and Intonation course must already have been completed.

This course is specifically designed for the old B.A. (till SS 2013) and B.Ed. courses, which are running out. State Exam and candidates on the new B.A. programme (from WS 2013) can also take this course as an option.
The aim of this course is to raise familiarity with a range of text types, including academic texts, and to practise efficient reading techniques. As reading constitutes a major part of the studies, we hope that this course will support students in their academic careers. The course will build on the skills and knowledge gained in the Grammar and the Vocabulary courses. Students will be given both intensive assignments (shorter texts and extracts) as well as an extensive reading assignment (a whole novel).

I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different.
Rousseau
The notions of ‘public’ and ‘private’ have always been clearly delineated as a binary throughout the Western imagination. This binary is still a crucial reality in modern societies because it fundamentally influences notions of intimacy, privacy, the personal, and the political. Therefore, it is directly linked to societal power structures, discourses, and (collective) subject positions. US American literary critic Michael Warner highlights that the public/private dichotomy is not “just a distinction but a hierarchy” (359) where the notions of the ‘public’ and the ‘public sphere’ are prioritized and conceptualized in a higher position than concepts of the ‘private’. This hierarchization reciprocally creates and is supported by discourses on gender, sexuality, race, and their intersections. A prime example would be the separation and gender coding of the ‘domestic’ and the ‘public’ spheres in the 19th century when the average household was considered to be a ‘female space’, which defined women as the ‘homemaker’. Simultaneously the public sphere was understood as a male space and men were supposed to ‘go out there’ and be the breadwinner in conventional and heteronormative family structures. In this Übung/Proseminar, we will deal with diverse literary and cultural material that belongs to ‘genres of intimacy’ where the notions of public and private are sometimes reinforced, and sometimes subverted, inverted, and even reconciled. Throughout the course, we will analyze ‘confessional’ genres in the form of poetry. We will also look at life narratives in different formats such as comic books. We will focus on stand-up shows and their representations of an intimate self as well as self-help media formats such as daytime talk shows. Last but not least, we will focus on representations of Blackness and their tensions in popular music, specifically hip-hop.

This course is designed to familiarize students with the conceptual tools necessary for the analysis of film. Students will form groups to work through and give presentations on the history and theory of Hollywood cinema, the terminology with which to analyze cinematic techniques, as well as on analytical categories such as race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability. The goal of the seminar is to equip students with the vocabulary as well as historical and theoretical background needed for the analysis of cinematography and the filmic constructions and representations of diverse social and cultural differences.
The seminar will largely be based on the following book, of which copies will be made available through the SLUB: Harry M. Benshoff and Sean Griffin. America on Film: Representing Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality at the Movies. 3rd ed., Wiley-Blackwell, 2021.
The course will include one session that introduces students to library research.
This Übung/Proseminar begins in the first week of the semester. - Zuordnungen

- Feminisms, as social movements and theoretical project, have always been struggling with self-positioning. Feminist thinkers are self-conscious about the main challenges of today’s movements: grappling with issues of class and commercialization, from pink capitalism to ‘faux feminisms’ and the ideological threat of racist, classist, and trans-exclusionary movements appropriating feminisms. This seminar will explore the plurality of feminism(s), as social movements, philosophical theories, and subject position. This translates into three foci in the seminar structure: applied gender theory in social movements, feminist subjectivity, and feminist aesthetics, where we will focus on recurring topoi in feminist cultural productions such as humor, autobiography, and ‘witchiness.’ We will explore these topics mostly through feminist manifestos, for example Feminism for the 99% by Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, and Nancy Fraser (2019), Sara Ahmed’s “Killjoy Manifesto” (2016) or the “W.I.T.C.H. Manifesto” (1968), in addition to relevant theoretical texts by Lauren Berlant, Teresa Ebert, and bell hooks, among others.

- Detective fiction revolves around unravelling murder mysteries, aiming to identify the perpetrator, and restoring order. Detectives are often portrayed as intelligent and observant agents who solve crimes and identify criminals by deductive reasoning and intuition. Detectives’ “art of detection” (Link 2023, 25) aims to identify ‘deviants’ at whom the disciplinary gaze should be directed. Moreover, the traditional detective has been a straight, white male (Priestman 2003) whose disciplinary gaze and perception are influenced by prevailing power dynamics and cultural norms (cf. Rives-East 2015). In this seminar, we will problematise this archetype in the modern imagination. Firstly, we will conceptualise observation as an essential apparatus to facilitate control (cf. Foucault 1975, 170) and question the detective’s role in popular consciousness. Then, we will focus on the construction of ‘deviance’ and analyse modern representations, in which ‘moral’ detectives identify ‘evil’ criminals and assign guilt (cf. Pyrhoenen and Gieri 1999, 5). In doing so, we aim to challenge the hierarchy between the observant detective and the observed criminal, a hierarchy that is constructed through morality. Finally, we will discuss the cultural, social, and political implications of a straight, white male detective and analyse several contemporary representations that subvert this archetype, where female private eyes, black detectives, and queer private investigators are at work. Participants are expected to watch and read the primary sources critically in light of the theoretical approaches we will discuss together. The ‘Prüfungsleistung’ and the required reading will be announced in the first session.

By analysing visual (and audio-visual) materials, such as illustrations, caricatures, maps, photographs, films etc., we will pose questions of representation, communication between coloniser and colonised, forms of gazing, the ethics of looking – and how these have been complicated, reappropriated or possibly reversed in postcolonial visual discourse.

Kursbeschreibung: In this seminar, we will investigate what shaped and continues to shape cultural imaginations of the Frontier in North America. Why is the imagination of the Frontier so closely linked to ideas of wilderness and what constitutes a stereotypical pioneer? What gets misrepresented and left out of those imaginations? How has the idea of the Frontier changed and developed over time and how – if so – is it relevant for contemporary culture and literature? What does it imply to speak of something or someplace as “the last Frontier”? And, most important of all, how can we critically engage with these ideas in American Cultural and Literary Studies?
Starting in the late 19th century, we will cover a wide range of textual and visual examples from both settler colonial and Indigenous viewpoints. Looking at different means and modes of narration and interpretation, we will identify patterns and divergences. Furthermore, we will explore how we can link these ideas together and relate them to contemporary issues of migration, climate crises and even “space cowboys.” As the seminar progresses, we will hence trace how pioneers and the Frontier are no longer only associated with wilderness, but also with questions of energy supplies, global shipping routes and, increasingly, technological revolutions, ideas of space exploration and terraforming. - Zuordnungen

In light of G.K. Chesterton's assertion that "[f]airy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten", Neil Gaiman's Coraline (2002) is exemplary of how children's literature explores the thin line between 'fantasy' and 'reality' and opens new ways of understanding self and world.
Starting our exploration with a brief introduction to the reading and understanding of literature, this seminar will critically examine representations of childhood and adulthood as well as aspects of gender, age, and belonging through a close reading of the text. We will investigate the role of children's literature in processes of socialisation and identity formation, with special attention to Gaiman's blending of different literary traditions – such as the fairy tale, bildungsroman, or Gothic and horror story – which put fear, violence, and struggle in relation to learning and (personal) growth.
So, grab your keys and get ready to explore. And please do (not) forget to lock the door… - Zuordnungen

Tsitsi Dangarembga is one of the most renowned female African authors of the twenty-first century as she has attracted critical attention at both regional and international levels as the first female writer in Zimbabwean literature in English. Her fiction explores questions and conditions of womanhood in relation to race, class, and the postcolonial challenges that define contemporary Zimbabwe.
This seminar provides students with an introduction to African Literature in English, and traces its historical development from the colonial era, when it served as a form of anti-colonial resistance, to the present postcolonial situation, in which it negotiates not only colonial legacies but also current problems of Zimbabwean culture and society. With the help of This Mournable Body (2018) students will learn how to critically engage with literature. Through a close reading of the novel, we will examine intersecting issues of gender, class, race, and religion. In doing so, we will pay special attention to the body as a site of Zimbabwe’s postcolonial challenges that continue to impact the everyday experience of marginalised communities in particular. - Zuordnungen

Traditional print dictionaries may seem like a thing of the past – who, after all, still opens up a tome of English words to look up a definition when we have the internet right at our fingertips? However, googling a word and its meaning or translation is a natural development of a millennia-old tradition. Even before antiquity, scholars have tried to catalogue words, provide definitions, and offer translations. To this day, the field of ‘lexicography’, or the study of dictionaries and how they are compiled, is highly active, since the internet and modern technology have opened up new possibilities but also challenges to dictionary-making.
In this class, we will investigate dictionaries of English first from a historical perspective before considering how people use dictionaries in the present day. We will also take a guess at what the future might hold for the dictionary as a medium. We will discuss traditional, general-language dictionaries of English, such as the Oxford English Dictionary, but we will also look at slang dictionaries, such as the Urban Dictionary, and specialised dictionaries on topics such as TV shows or sports. We will also have time to consider how dictionaries can (and should) be incorporated in the English-language classroom and how dictionaries, especially online ones, may be used effectively. - Zuordnungen

Wochentag Uhrzeit Ort Durchführung Dienstag 5. Doppelstunde ABS/2-06/U In Präsenz - Beschreibung
- This course is designed to give a linguistic introduction to English between the fifth century and the Norman invasion in 1066. By reading and translating original texts, we will learn about linguistic and extralinguistic phenomena of the period. By the end of the course we will have acquired a working knowledge of elementary Old English grammar and have gained an insight into the cultural history of Anglo-Saxon times. Participants of this seminar must have passed the Introduction to Linguistics (either synchronic or diachronic). They are expected to be prepared and to work actively.

What is translation? The answer seems simple: It is a transfer of words from one language into another. If it was that easy a task, the results of machine translated texts would not leave us puzzled, only “understanding railway station”. Thus, this seemingly simple question we will try to answer in the course of this seminar – and we might come to realise that it is everything but simple. In order to do so, it shall be explained what translation actually is and how its understanding and practice has developed over time. We will also look critically into the different approaches towards translation and the respective vastness of theories. Additionally, we will also investigate the manifold linguistic as well as cultural stumbling blocks of translating texts. These linguistic peculiarities are especially a challenge for the many attempts of successful machine translation which we will also critically analyse and evaluate. A final outlook into the presentation of translation in science-fiction will then conclude the seminar with an imaginary future outlook.
Note: In order to participate in in-class exercises, command of the German language is mandatory. - Zuordnungen
