Übung<br />

050 634 Weidle<br />

As You Like It, 3 CP<br />

2 st. fr 10-12 GABF 04/413 Süd<br />

The primary aim of this Übung is to engage in a thorough and close reading of As<br />

You Like It, which we will attempt on a scene by scene basis. We will start with the<br />

first scene and work our way through the play. Proceeding in this manner we shall<br />

not only be looking at some of the main themes and issues addressed in the play<br />

(concepts of love, performativity, gender, kingship) but will also discuss aspects such<br />

as genre, staging and language.<br />

We will also attend a performance of Wie Es Euch Gefällt at the Grillo Theater in<br />

Essen.<br />

I strongly suggest that everyone use the latest Arden edition of the play.<br />

Assessment/requirements: active participation; thorough preparation of the individual<br />

scenes and the secondary material; writing a commentary on/analysis of one of the<br />

scenes in As You Like It (to be handed in by 15 September 2013).
