Cultural Studies Seminar
Screening Jane Austen (821/322)
(anrechenbar auch für das Cultural Studies-Modul 438 sowie für den alten Studienplan als
K 531/32 und als K 701)
Monika Seidl, Wed 15-17, Room 4 (ab 9.3.)
This seminar will focus on the implications, both literary and cinematic, of translating Jane
Austen’s novels for the screen. We will historicise Jane Austen’s novels in her day and age and
look at the way adaptations for the screen remake the past in their respective contemporary
culture. Theoretical issues will be explored in balance with more practical concerns, like casting
or “authenticity” of setting and costumes. Special emphasis will be put on novels adapted more
than once, such as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility or Emma.
Requirements: regular attendance, participation in class discussions, paper presentation (seminar
conference format on May 13 + 14, attendance obligatory), research paper of 20 (minimum) to
25 pages (maximum), final written essay.

Course:
Patterns of Language 1: Poetry
Monika Seidl, Thu 17-18.30, Room 3 (ab 10.3.)
Registration: see p. 15 (16)
This course will offer practical experience of textual analysis focused on poetry. We will explore
how it is that poets communicate with us and affect us. This means we will try to understand the
relationship between the literary text, on the one hand, and how we understand it, on the other.
Poems will be selected from the canonical to the fringe, ranging from The Bard to The Smiths.
Our analyses will also include examples of media transfer, such as poems set to music or visual
renderings.
This class will be taught in two-hour sessions during the first half of the semester.
