The seminar aims to slightly revise this view and focus on play which are set in the past and which perform history – from the Romans in Britain to the Second World War. It will be shown how the past serves as backdrop with which to explain the present; how different periods in time are re-constructed and re-membered in order to forge (or to subvert) a national British identity. On the meta-level the plays reflect on their own constructedness and on the way history is “made”. The seminar will focus on the following plays: Edward Bond, Early Morning Edward Bond, Bingo Tom Stoppard, Travesties Liz Lochhead, Mary Queen of Scots Had Her Head Chopped Off Howard Brenton, The Romans in Britain Brian Friel, Translations Frank MacGuiness, Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme Texts: Depending on the possibility to produce copies, there will be a reader available at the beginning of the semester or pdf files on Blackboard. Participants, however, are strongly encouraged to read the plays in advance. Assessment/requirements: Übung: active participation and expert group; Seminar: active participation, expert group and seminar paper (wissenschaftliche Hausarbeit).
050 750 Pankratz Getting the Vote: Chartists, Suffragists, and Reformers, 5 CP 2 st. di 10-12 HGB 30 For quite a while, most people living on the British Isles agreed that politics and political participation was reserved for those who had a “stake in the land”, who owned property and considered themselves part of the elite. And who were male, of course. This notion was first violently challenged in the seventheenth century, during the Civil War and the Interregnum. But it was only in the nineteenth century that notions of democracy as we know it today, became genuinely popular and that movements for the general vote gained a stronger foothold. The seminar will have a closer look at the discussions and often violent struggles to gain the vote for groups which were excluded from the Victorian mainstream. It will deal with the parliamentary debates concerning the Reform Bills, the Chartist Movement (and working-class organisations), Suffragettes and Suffragists (and female emancipation). Its aims are: to acquaint students with the most salient political changes in the nineteenth century and the political system of the UK. Participants will be expected to read a broad range of both source texts and historiographical analyses. Texts: Depending on the possibility to produce copies, there will be a reader available at the beginning of the semester or pdf files on Blackboard. Assessment/requirements: Übung: active participation and expert group; Seminar: active participation, expert group and seminar paper (wissenschaftliche Hausarbeit).
