systems? What, apart from providing escapist entertainment or making profit, could be the cultural functions served by the representations? Assessment/requirements: Übung: short oral presentation and 4-page essay; <strong>Seminar</strong>: participation in research project and 15-page term paper. 050 664 Budde Images of Germany in Nineteenth-Century Ireland, 4 CP 2 st. mo 16-18 GABF 04/252 Nord According to comparative image studies, a discipline dealing with the literary representations of individual nations, the experience of a foreign nation is the most important stimulus for reflections on one's own identity. While the origins and functions of the image of Germany in English literature have been extensively researched a detailed study of an Irish image of Germany in the second half of the nineteenth century is entirely absent. It appears, however, that in a number of works of Irish literature, within a certain strand of political commentary and within an extensive debate on the pages of the most important religious magazines an image of Germany is employed as a point of reference against which to measure all aspects of Irish culture. The objective of this seminar is, therefore, to fill the established gap in the existing research by a detailed analysis of the image of Germany in Ireland. Its ultimate aim is to establish a greater appreciation of the influence the critical engagement with German culture exerted on the reconfiguration of an Irish identity. The scarcity of secondary literature in this field of research means that participants will get the rare chance of doing primary research and producing new insights into the mechanisms of Irish identity constructions. Key texts will be provided via Blackboard. Assessment/requirements: active participation, short presentation and term paper (wissenschaftliche Hausarbeit).
Übungen 050 667 Versteegen Legal TV in Britain and the USA, 3 CP 2 st. do 12-14 GB 03/46 In an era where TV programmes seem to be undergoing a development of increasing globalisation and standardisation, spearheaded by forever new American-produced formats, it is interesting to note that law-related television (legal drama, legal comedy, legal documentaries, reality court shows etc.) continues to exhibit a distinctly national flavour in the USA, in the UK, and also in Germany. The course will explore the most important genres of modern legal TV on both sides of the Atlantic and will also draw the occasional comparison with Germany. We will look at the development of the various formats on British and American television channels over the last fifty years and will analyse the roles they play in the various countries’ popular cultures and legal cultures. Materials will be provided in a course reader and on blackboard. Assessment/requirements: active participation and minutes of one class meeting (four pages) or summary of one pertinent critical article (either to be submitted as a written paper of three to four pages or to be given as a short classroom presentation). 050 668 Berg Postindustrial Britain, 3 CP Blockveranstaltung 25./26.07. & 31.07.-02.08.2013, GB 6/137 Nord 13:30-18:00 Uhr In this course we analyse in what ways Britain has changed in the transformation process from industrial to postindustrial society. Many of British society’s traditions, political loyalties, and cultural identities were related to the country’s specific industrial history and heritage – and, to some extent, they still are. Are these old characteristics doomed to disappear – hence following large parts of Britain’s industrial sector? For many geographical areas of the country, for many of its institutions and organisations, postindustrialism meant that they had to reinvent themselves – not only in terms of their economic base but also with regard to many other dimensions of life – for example, cultural, social, and political ones. What directions have these reconstructions taken? Since this Blockseminar is an Übung, you can expect to be equipped with a wide variety of materials (from analytical articles to the statements of eye witnesses and aesthetic-artistic representations, etc.). We discuss the ways in which these can help
