-
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. - Assignments

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.

Day of the week Clock time Place Event format Wednesday 5th double period W48/002 In-person - Description
- 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.

- This ‘kombinierte Sprachprüfung’ concentrates on pronunciation and intonation skills but also involves competence in grammar. There are two exam sections, an oral exam, which tests spoken language skills, and a written exam, which tests: (1) phonetic transcription (2) the usage of verbs and tenses, as well the explanation of rules using grammatical terminology Students have to choose between British and American English but the course content is very similar. 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.

Day of the week Clock time Place Event format Monday 4th double period BSS/133/U In-person - Description
- 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.

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. - Assignments

- 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.

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.

his survey lecture course provides a general overview of US cultural history from the early European colonial settlement of North America to recent moments in a transnationally situated United States. It will heighten an understanding of the writing of American cultural history by way of focusing on the ways in which the (textual and visual) material through which history can be understand also constitutes notions of “American subjects” and demographic groups. The lecture provides insights into how crucial dates, periods, sites, and issues of American culture shape concepts of American selves and groups and this way also points to general dynamics of cultural differentiation and the de/stabilization of social inequalities. The lecture will address how central texts of American cultural history constitute various American counter/publics before and during the process of nation building. It will also provide reflections on the medial and discursive effects of these texts on constituting subject and group positions during their times and beyond.
All PPT slides and additional material will be made available on OPAL.
The content of the survey lecture course will be relevant for the oral exam in the “Überblicksmodul.” For students who need to do an “Prüfungsleistungen,” this course offers a “Klausur” (90 minutes) and a “Kurzüberprüfung” (45 minutes). Both exam formats will be given during the last session of the semester. Details on the mode of these exams will be provided in advance. Students who wish to have their attendance of the lecture course certified do not need to take any test.
The lecture course begins in the first week of the semester. - Assignments

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

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

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.

Day of the week Clock time Place Event format Thursday 2nd double period SE2/123/U In-person - Description
- 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 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. - Assignments

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.
