lim. acc. 30 

Looking at the nonverbal cues of humans, the meaning of the face gets obvious: Most of the 

communicative signals are coming from the face – and also it is the first dominant expression of 

communication. Initially, in the seminar a communicative science basis to understand nonverbal 

communication and especially the communicative signals of the face has to be developed. But then the 

relation between face and identity will be in the centre of interest – and especially the modulation and 

change of the face will be looked at in more detail. This has to be done in a creative – artful – way. In 

this sense it is a prerequisite that the participants of the seminar embark on creative experiments.

Public Spaces - Public Art: 

Public Spaces in History and Present Time 


Di 14—16 LG 3 406 

HS WP Q 

„Public Art“, like monumental art as well as art for ceremonies, can be considered a fundamental artistic 

practice. In the second half of the 20th century it has experienced a change towards an “art of the public” 

(Babias/Könneke) by “site specific” art forms as well as by interventions in the urban space and active or 

cooperative forms of artistic practice. 

The understanding of the different forms of appropriation of the public space and their changes assumes 

a discussion of “public” which can be traced back to antiquity. In this regard, a focus can lie on 

interrelations between different manners of public practice and the understandings of privacy and 

exclusivity. In doing so, we get to know the views of different epochs and cultures and their specific 

public spaces. Forms of artistic practices like setting up sculptures, holding of festivities as well as 

subversive interventions in the urban space can be considered within this discussion. These are forms of 

artistic practice which should always be seen in the context of historical and social processes. 

In this interdisciplinary seminar we want to explore different historic understandings and practices of 

“public” with regard to “public art” in different cities and countries. It is interesting to experience how one 

can become a player in this dialogue – by trying to understand the people who were active in creating 

these spaces.

Justice is a basic idea of any legal system as well as of any religion. But it seems quite difficult to define 

„justice“ to suit everybodies conception of it. 

The term „social“ might be understood in different ways, too. Is it a legal category or rather an ethical 

one? The students will discuss different aspects of „social justice“ and the (im-)possibility of a widely 

accepted definition. 

One lecture shall follow the idea of justice throughout the centuries culminating in the question what can 

be expected from todays „sozialstaat“ from an ecclesiastical or a legal view. 

The role of priests and judges in everyday-life will be discussed. What idea of man is implemented, and 

how is the „zeitgeist“ influencing personal decisions concerning „social justice“? 

Before visiting a trial at the Federal Court for Labour Affairs there will be an introduction to our legal 

system and the proceedings at the court, and there will be further discussion of „social justice“ as 

granted in real life to our fellow-citizens.

Commemoration, reminder, and memory happen in this world and are sometimes directly located at 

special places and special days in this world. These places and times are full of history and stories, 

experience, brutality, suffering and pain, full of humanity, despair and disgrace. All these places and 

memorial days are complex settings, loaded and criss-crossed also by theology, metaphysics, conflicts, 

architecture and politics. But all these places are at the same time about us, collective memory, 

responsibility, and politics of rememberance. 

In its first section the seminar will present and discuss diverse concepts of and for these places to 

commemorate and memoriel days. The second part will consist in two excursion to the Buchenwalds 

concentration camp and the Stasi-prison in Erfurt.

On this page please make a note of the course EBN (electronic booking number) and the registration 

period. 

The written word and the reader are receiving a relationship between two: human being and word. The 

played scene of the actor is receiving a relationship with the spectator: human being and many humans. 

Beside the word of the actor work thereby a multiplicity of other factors with: the atmosphere of the 

area, the lighting, the used costumes, the stage props and the scenery, the body attitude of the player, 

the vocal presentation of text, sound, music… 

In our seminar we will read literary texts of different kinds and provide production concepts for these 

texts. Here we use literature and theatre-theoretical texts. Apart from the theoretical discussion we will 

plan and perform theatrical productions. This can be a play reading, a literature performance or a theatre 

performance. 

The course understands itself also as contribution to the initiative for a students theatre in Erfurt. A cooperation 

with the student theatre activities is aimed at.

A seminar en bloc including the exchange between German and Polish students: 3 days at the Memorial - 

Buchenwald and 4 days in Łódź, Poland. 

The participants are 20 students of the universities in Łódź and Erfurt (10 from each university). 

Attention: Due to the limited number of the participants of up to 10 enrolled students at the University of 

Erfurt, a selection procedure has to take place. Please send a short cover letter by e-mail to: 

dagmara.jajesniak-quast@uni-erfurt.de 

Application deadline:31.03.2010. 

Payable share of expenses: 25 Euros per person. 

The seminar focuses on the image of an entrepreneur in Eastern and Central Europe, especially in Poland. 

The long-term period was chosen in order to be able to analyse a transition of the entrepreneur's 

perception, from the romantic modernization phobia, forced labour and socialist criticism of capitalism to 

the new spirit of capitalism. During the seminar we will refer to those events and epochs which have 

crucially influenced the enterprise culture in Eastern and Central Europe and still have significant effects 

on the corporate behaviour.

Apparently the theme of the seven deadly sins booms in contemporary literature and in the cultural 

debate. Examples are not only Eva Menasse's recent book "Lässliche Todsünden" (2009) or Gerhard 

Schulze's plea for a new art of life under the title "Die Sünde. Das schöne Leben und seine Feinde" 

(2006). The seminar scrutinizes the uses of the sin topos in literature and contemporary culture in order 

to understand the ways in which this originally religious-moral concept is tranformed. Which originial 

aspects of the term occur until today, which of them recede and which new meaning arises? Is the sinmotif 

a way of addressing ethical dimensions in contemporary discourse or is it a rather ironic farewell to 

an out-datet concept?

Emerging Ritual - Ritual, Ritual Competence and Ritual Criticism by 

Ronald L. Grimes 


Di 14—16 LG 1 247b 

S WP O/Q 

Ronald L. Grimes is one of the todays most important scholars in the field of ritual studies. Twenty years 

ago, he introduced the notion of "emerging ritual". In contrast to traditional concepts of ritual, he 

concentrates on the process of ritualization - and not on ritual as fixed structure. Many question emerge 

from his new insight: What are the meanings and functions of rituals in a given culture? How were rituals 

invented? According which ideas and rules do people invent new rituals? And especially: What kind of 

knowlegde and competence is necessary for this kind of ritual practice? In our seminar we will read and 

discuss Ronald L. Grimes theories but we also study some cases of ritual practice.

“Never Again”—a broken promise? 

“Genocide” and the global conscience 

lim. acc. 20 

The StuFu course initiated by the S.O.S. Darfur group and lead by Dr. Kristina Roepstorff and Ms. Sarah 

El-Richani will closely examine the several dimensions of genocide and humanitarian crises including 

available definitions to genocide and ethnic cleansing, the socio-economic, political and environmental 

nature of such crises, related human rights law and declarations, and the role and responsibilities of 

international actors. 

The media coverage of Darfur and similar humanitarian crises shall also be examined with particular 

attention to the concept and theories of framing, media agendas as well as media ethics and 

responsibilities. A discussion of the peace journalism approach is also envisioned. Furthermore, “social 

media” and modern technologies used by organisations in the coverage of such crises such as satellite 

imagery employed by Amnesty international’s Eyes on Darfur project will be surveyed. 

While the case of Darfur will be given a particular focus, it shall not be the exclusive focus of the course. 

Other humanitarian crises and genocides ranging from Bosnia and Rwanda to the Holocaust and the 

Palestinian situation shall also be discussed. 

The inter-disciplinary course, to be held on a bi-weekly basis, will also feature screening of selected 

documentaries, and encourages open and vibrant discussions. The course will be conducted in English 

although students may also submit selected coursework in German.

threatened and valuable. Therefore religion, as a stabilizing factor for human identity, plays an essential 

role for migration and integration.

Do religions leave space for mystical experience? Can mystical experience be expressed in words? Can 

texts in prose or poetry which convey mystical insights be interpreted and compared? Does it make any 

sense to construct a concept of 'mysticism'? Can historical documents from the mystical tradition (Meister 

Eckhart around 1300, Rumi around 1250) have any relevance today? Are there any significant similarities 

to be discovered between Christianity and Islam when it comes to mysticism? Such questions can in fact 

be asked, and attempts at finding an answer to them can be studied. In the seminar different suggestions 

for defining mysticism and selected texts from mediaeval sources will be discussed.

International Summer School: Muslims in the West 


S WP Q 

lim. acc. 45 

20/358 

The relevance of Islamic cultures and Muslim religious forms for the history of European culture and ideas 

has evoked quite some interest in modern times, in particular since the 18th century. However, the topic 

became politically crucial only since the 1970s, whene, as a result of labor-migration, new Muslim 

communities established themselves in Western Europe. The specific situations of Muslim communities in 

diasporic environment has led to a further re-interpretation of Islam, that encompasses so-called 

"fundamentalist groups" as well as the so-called "Euro-Islam". This international summer school will 

elaborate on the history and cultures of Muslim communities in Europe as well as in America. We will 

consider questions such as new Islamic developments in the diaspora and the interaction between 

Muslims and non-Muslims, between majority and minority. We will also enquire into the concept of 

ethnification of Muslim cultures in the West. 15 students from Muslim countries as well as 15 students 

from Erfurt University are expected. Program including excursions and bibliography will be available in 

the secretariat in May 2010.

The Applied Sound Engineering course offers its participants the opportunity to gain practical experience 

in a recording studio. After a systematic introduction to the technical work flow, students will be allowed 

to make their own short audio production. The focus thereby is on the technical realisation, but not on 

the journalistic content. 

Students will learn the practical usage of the equipment at the University’s Recording Studio. The tuition 

also aims to provide a broad introduction to the subject, that will enable them to use equipment in other 

technical facilities e.g. in schools or community centres. 

Applications for this course should be sent, via email, to 

Marie-Josefin@web.de, 

and should arrive no later than 2 weeks before the beginning of the semester. 

Please also include a short cover-letter outlining your motivation to come on the course (1/2 page 

maximum), together with a short note of any previous experience you might have in the field of audio 

engineering. 

Contents: 

Theoretical and practical basics in the fields of: 

Microphones – mixing consoles – recording and postproduction on computer 

Production of a short radio programme: 

Recording of speech, music, location recordings (interviews, noise), arrangement of the material on 

computer

The SPSS software is based on 40 years of experience in the field of statistical analysis of large data sets 

and is widely used in many industries. SPSS is outstanding due to its user friendly application. 

This course gives you an overview on the statistical analysis possibilities that SPSS offers. One main focus 

will be on descriptive analysis, another will be on regression models and analysis of discrete decisions. 

You will be able to test your knowledge with your own survey data set which, for example, deals with 

political issues concerning job market or education. 

To make the analysis of large data sets easier for you, you will gain insight into the SPSS-syntax. 

Participants attending this seminar will be able to execute smaller empirical analysies and forecasts on 

their own. They will get to know a wide field of functions, ranging from the import of data sets, regression 

analysis to programming. 

A precondition for participants is basic statistical knowledge. Assignments can be done in groups of two.

Radio F.R.E.I., the non commercial city radio of Erfurt, has been broadcasting the weekly radio 

transmission “MESCALITO” since spring 2003. This programme is made by students for students as an 

audio forum for students’ life, events, political trends, demonstrations and much more. Every Sunday yet 

before the week begins, students get information about all interesting topics which are coming up soon. 

The highly motivated editors expand continuously into all university spheres. 

Recently MESCALITO forms also part of the University courses, containing workshops (block meetings) 

which cover specific subjects like journalistic basics, presentation/moderation, interviewing as well as the 

field of media politics. The achieved knowledge and competencies will be practically realised in preparing 

and producing the weekly MESCALITO radio transmission. 

The course offers the chance for students to publish their own topics interests and needs and to create 

their own products. At the same time the students achieve technical skills, theoretical knowledge and a 

wide range 

of competencies which can improve the occupational opportunities.

In this seminar, we will extend and elaborate on existing knowledge about the English language system. 

Intonation will be our phonological topic. Our morphological topic will be derivation as a word formation 

from a historical perspective. In the syntactic part, we will deal with the structure of complex noun 

phrases as well as non-finite subordinate clauses. In addition, we will take a look at constructions that 

allow us to manipulate the fixed order of the syntactic relations in the English clause (SVO) in accordance 

with discourse requirements.

Second-language acquisition studies have long maintained that important insights into a foreign target 

language can be gained by studying in which respects this language contrasts with the mother tongue so 

as to avoid negative transfer (interference) and strengthen positive transfer (facilitation). 

In this seminar, we will investigate the structure of English from a contrastive perspective, i.e. by 

compiling a large-scale comparison between English and German which encompasses all levels of the 

respective language systems, from their lexica, via their phonology and inflectional morphology, to their 

clausal/sentential syntax.

Idiomaticity 


43/358

What mainly distinguishes foreign language learners, often even advanced ones, from the native 

speakers of a language, is a certain lack of “idiomaticity”, i.e. of ease/fluency and naturalness, in their 

use of the language. This seminar explores what it takes to speak idiomatically. In the course of the 

seminar, we will firstly survey the relevant kinds of linguistic units (i.e. idioms, collocations, etc.) and 

then study their functions in discourse. Finally, We will also discuss the role of idioms and other 

prefabricated units within a cognitively realistic and functionally oriented model of the language system 

(competence/langue) and of “language competence”.

range of variation that exists between different regional varieties of English throughout the world and on 

the sociolectal variation that exists within British and North-American English. Possible causes for this 

variation will be examined (among them, contact with other languages). The seminar will start with a 

short series of introductory sessions. Afterwards, students will have to present talks on topics of their 

choice that fall within the scope of the seminar.

This seminar focuses on the acquisition of spoken English in young monolingual and bilingual children 

who are learning English from birth. It traces the development of phonology, the lexicon, morphosyntax 

and pragmatic and discourse skills. In addition to describing these developments, the seminar also 

examines theories of child language acquisition that have been put forward to explain how children 

develop English as a first language. 

After the introductory sessions, students are expected to give a talk about a topic of their choice that 

relates to the early acquisition of English.

Sociolinguistics investigates the interrelationship of language use and social factors, such as region, age 

or gender. The course focuses on variation within one language, but also on criteria influencing language 

choice in multilingual communities and the impact both have on language change or language 

maintenance. Various aspects of social identity and their reflection in language, such as speaker attitudes 

and stereotypes, are also taken into consideration. All students are expected to give a short talk in class, 

which they must prepare in advance. The course finishes with a written examination (3 credit points). 

Registration for a seminar with 6 credit points are only possible in exceptional, urgent cases with the

In this semester, we will deepen our understanding of topics from pragmatics and discourse analysis. 

Pragmatics as meaning in use investigates how speakers derive additional meaning from an utterance 

that is not encoded in the word meaning. The course deals with concepts on how we infer meaning and 

read between the lines, how language is used to make changes in the real world and ways in which 

respect and power is reflected in language usage. Furthermore, conversations will be analysed in order to 

discover how speakers manage different discourse situations. All students are expected to give a short 

talk in class, which they must prepare in advance.

the 1740s. Building a civilization in a language following the rules of prosody may appear strange to us 

nowadays, but the cultural prestige of poetry in former years must not be underrated. Special focus will

from being a comprehensive survey of the past sixty years, it focuses on a few, significant playwrights 

who have shaped American drama and theater. We will examine not only individual plays, but the ways in 

which these plays have participated in important cultural and socio-political debates of their time as well 

as contributed historically, theoretically, and philosophically to a narrative history of the American 

theater. By concentrating on a number of key dramatists, we will be able to gauge more critically the 

aesthetic and cultural power of American drama. One of the central questions guiding our investigation is 

in what ways these playwrights and plays might have shaped a distinctly "American" drama tradition.

This praxis seminar is concerned with the question of how to make knowledge-work productive? Students 

will critically discuss recent theoretical concepts on the cathexis of capital and creativity. Following Peter 

Drucker's claim that knowledge is "the true capital of any economy", literature students of the Universität 

Erfurt are asked to cooperate in project groups in order to put the highly specified knowledge of their 

field to productive use for the members of their teams, their peers in class as well as for students, who 

are not participating in this seminar. The teams are invited to engage in projects beneficial for research, 

scholarship, pedagogy, classroom performance and/or other related matters. It is a course objective to 

familiarize students with the connective, communicative and challenging processes of teamwork. To 

increase their e-literacy for academic needs, students are taught to employ internet technology and 

social software such as blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, Flicker, and engage in online communities 

such as h-net. The teams are asked to cooperate flexibly, as well as to communicate transparently and 

ad hoc as required by the ongoing process of their projects. By engaging in joint performance, students 

will learn the fundamental tasks of self and group management.

The City and Literature

This course offers an opportunity to engage in a study of literary images of cities in American literature. 

The Industrial Revolution spurred authors in the United States to write about inhumane living conditions 

in the cities. Transcendentalists wrote about how the effects of urban living crush the spirit. As society 

became increasingly urbanized, city portraits became more diverse in modernist and postmodernist 

literature. Following Richard Lehan in 'The City in Literature' (1998), students will be introduced to the 

specific ways in which American cities were imagined against the backdrop of both European capitals and 

the American wilderness, and will thus become acquainted with texts and concepts which have 

significantly shaped American literature and culture. We will also draw on a number of interdisciplinary 

and theoretical investigations of urbanity from 'The Blackwell City Reader' (2002).

This course consists of two basic elements: practical pronunciation and listening skills at a more 

advanced level than in the O/aural Practice course for the O-Phase. 

There will be more emphasis on the supra-segmental aspects of connected speech such as weakening, 

rhythm, melody and stress (nuclear tones). Although this language-laboratory-based course is primarily 

practical, theoretical elements of English phonology will be involved in explanations for the production of 

English speech. The phonetic alphabet will be used throughout the course and there will be transcription 

exercises in both directions. 

The listening-skill elements will start off with practice from Cambridge Advanced Certificate materials, but 

will then proceed to diverse situations for listening such as story-telling, dialogues and different varieties 

of English. The students will also prepare a brief extract taken from a feature film (either a video cassette 

or DVD) of their own choice for presentation in which listening difficulties/interesting aspects are 

highlighted.This part will also involve an element of ipa. 

No course book is required, but there will be a small charge for an internal workbook and worksheets.

S WP Q 

Speaking and Reading belong to the Four Skills being developed and improved in foreign language 

teaching. The seminar focusses mainly on basic linguistic features serving as the base of improving 

speaking and reading activities in a primary classroom. 

The speaking part of this course aims at increasing the students’ awareness of the phonological aspects 

of English not only to improve the students own speaking skills, but also to enable the students to teach 

pronunciation to children in the primary school. The initial emphasis will be on phonemes German 

speakers find difficult such as English vowels, after which the focus will be on supra-segmental features 

such as intonation, rhythm and melody. The class assignments will have a classroom orientation such as 

making use rhymes and rhythmic language for lexical fields and for reading skills in general. To promote 

fluency, some assignments will involve techniques in storytelling for the primary classroom. 

Assessment is based on weekly assignments and a final test for this half of the course. The test will 

include some transcription from IPA into normal orthography, a cloze test and a short essay. 

The second part which focuses on developing and improving reading skills will aim at book reports or 

presentations of books which might and can be used in the primary classroom. 

There is no set book for the course as course materials will be supplied throughout the course either 

directly or via the download page. 

As this seminar is taught in English, students will have to revise and learn the linguistic terms as well as 

particular classroom language in order to improve their overall oral competence.

In traditional courses there has been a great emphasis on England at the expense of the other regions of 

the British Isles. To balance this distorted picture, there will be a more regionally based approach with 

special emphasis on the other countries and devolving regions of Britain. Special themes will include 

‘Britishness’ as opposed to ‘Englishness’ alongside the themes of national identity and devolution with 

regard to Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. There will also be ample 

opportunity for discussion of current themes and issues in British social, cultural and political life based 

on material taken from the media. 

Assessment of the grade for this course will be based mainly an oral presentation of a region within the 

British Isles. The presentations will take place in the second half of the semester. The first half will consist 

of revision and analysis in greater depth of all the regions of the UK. There will be a mid-semester cloze 

test to cover general factual aspects of the course.

Elite colleges, quality dictionaries, century-old traditions, and allegations of masonic ties have fostered

upper class and life peerage, and above all, the epitome of Englishness. This course looks at the history 

of the university cities, the link between academia and power as well as the relationship between the 

(snobbish) gown-wearing student population and ordinary towns folk through the centuries, exploding a 

few myths about the presumed connection of chivalry and Englishness along the way. Quality and

Anglo-German Cultural Relations in the Early Modern Era 


64/358 

Di 10—12 LG 4 D03 

S WP Q 

From the early eighteenth century onwards, all British rulers were of German descent. This is only one 

example of the manifold contacts between England and Central Europe in the early modern era. 

The seminar scrutinizes the early modern pre-history of a German interest in Britain and in its culture and 

language. It also aims at analyzing why and in which respect Central Europe became increasingly 

attractive for Britain and its inhabitants. By looking at various political, religious, social, scientific, and 

cultural aspects and by reading a wide range of different historical sources, a multi-faceted image of 

Anglo-German contacts, perceptions, and perhaps even misunderstandings evolves - from the time of the 

Reformation until the Enlightenment.

Cultures of Knowledge in the early Enlightenment: George 

Psalmanazaar 


Di 16—18 LG 1 135 

S WP Q 

In 1704, a book on the Asian island of Formosa appeared in England which soon emerged a best-seller. 

Its author pretended to be a native of that island and quickly became famous in important circles of 

London. His "Description of Formosa" dealt with exotic countries and customs, the practices of Catholic 

missionaries, and many other topics attractive to a British reading audience. Some years later, the author 

was unmasked as an impostor and his book turned out to be an invention aimed at the expectations of 

British readers of travel literature and anti-Catholic propaganda. 

Far from being an accurate description of Formosa, this book and the biography of its author nevertheless 

provide excellent insights into the culture of knowledge in the early Enlightenment as well as in the 

interests and expectations of readers and the public in England and Europe around 1700. 

By reading and analyzing selected passages of Psalmanazaar's "Description" as well as of his 

posthumously published "Memoirs", the course addresses questions of early modern political and 

religious culture, media and communications, social and spatial mobility, and problems of knowledge 

about foreign and exotic countries.

For classical scholars the Homeric epics contain the earliest written informations about the origins of the

500 BC we can see the formation of the Greek political world with different autonomous city-states 

(poleis), which often made war to each other and strove for dominance, while at the same time 

developing a common cultural and religious system. The lecture is based on the well-documented 

examples of the poleis of Athens, Sparta and Corinth and provides an introduction to the political, social

period. 

The concepts “TransFormation” and “Identity”, which we will discuss as themes in our seminar, 

encompass a broad range of texts, visual images, and films from Europe (and EastAsia). The linking of 

“TransFormation” and “Identity relates opposing and related concepts. TransFormation as process may 

be contrasted with the continuity of identity as a form of stasis. Lurking behind all of this is the 

fundamental question regarding the essential nature of man caught between being a creature and a 

(monstrous ) construct. Do people go through life beneath the guise of a theatrical mask, or as a tricky, 

deceitful role players, multiple “dopplegaengers” or as Homo Fabers locked into pretense by social norms? 

Monotheistic religions such as Christianity regard transformation/metamorphosis as a hidden, sinful myth 

of creation. In contrast there are cultures of transformation /metamorphosis such as the world of the 

Greek and Egyptian gods, Hinduism or Buddhism in EastAsia. These do not make such rigid distinctions 

between human and non-human transformation/metamorphosis as Christianity does when it insists that 

individual identity is the very generator of identity crises, “doppelgaengers” etc. This issue will be 

thoroughly examined in the seminar from the perspective of cultural history.

Coffeehouses as Art Incubators: Literary Figures & Their Texts (L2, L4) 

Fr 10—12 LG 1 218 

S WP Q 

lim. acc. 30 




period. 

Coffeehouses can be seen as a cradle of literature. Most prominently from the fin de siècle until the 

period of emigration in the 1930s, the history of the coffeehouses in Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Paris, 

Budapest, Zurich, etc. was closely connected with the development of literature written in German. 

The coffeehouse was a place for patrons to communicate, read newspapers and engage in the free 

exchange of ideas in times of censorship and political repression. New (philosophical) concepts and 

literary movements emerged from this setting. Moreover, the poetry of the metropolis could hardly have 

been possible without coffeehouses. While most of the patrons were engaged in idle relaxation, the coffee 

house was a testing ground for new ideas. 

Thus the café as a venue for writing is one of the diverse spatial concepts used in literary studies. 

For writers (such as Altenberg) the coffee house was even a postal address, or rather, a dwelling (Kisch). 

Accordingly, this theme can be analyzed as the history of a life style (the first coffee house was 

established in 1684 in Vienna) and the history of the nature of literary production. 

The café was, and remains permanently, a site of inspiration for writers and also for artists (including 

Gustave Courbet, Monet, van Gogh, Renoir, Picasso, and Grosz). 

This seminar uses images and texts to investigate the above mentioned themes from the perspectives of 

literary and cultural analysis. 

The focus is on the works of Peter Altenberg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Gottfried Benn, Hermann Kesten, Egon 

Erwin Kisch, Karl Kraus, Else Lasker-Schüler, Klaus Mann, Arthur Schnitzler, Anna Seghers, Botho 

Strauss, Friedrich Torberg, Frank Wedekind und Franz Werfel.

Di 18—20 LG 4 D05 

S WP Q 

The concept of the fool has multifarious manifestations: natural and artificial/ artful, occasional and 

professional fools, but also excentrics, oddballs, weird persons. Foolish behavior is deviant, but not all 

deviant behavior is foolish. What makes a fool a fool is the observation as foolish in terms of norms 

and orders, so fools are used to serve as counter-images and for didactic and entertainment purposes. 

This seminar follows the history of the fool in German literature from early modernity, through 

enlightenment, its transformations in 19th century texts and the emphatic rediscovery in Dadaism.

Addiction Stories (L2, L3) 


lim. acc. 40 

Mi 14—16 LG 2 218a 

S WP Q 

Inspired by the monumental novel by David Foster Wallace, „Infinite Jest“, in this seminar we want to 

investigate how the topic of addiction is being treated formally and specifically in recent literature and 

film. Thereby we don´t focus so much on the „objects“ of addiction or the substance causing the 

addiction, but more on the specific repetitive structures of stories of addiction, whose narratological 

problem is to tell how one tries over and over to put an end to something that seems to go on endlessly.

The literary societies of the baroque, from the older research called “Sprachgesellschaften”, exercised 

determining influence on the development of the German culture of the 17th century. Societies were 

founded in the middle and the north (Weimar, Hamburg), but also in the south (Nuremberg, Strasbourg) 

of Germany. Nobility, poets and scholars became members of this unions. The seminar is concerned with 

the different forms of cultural and literary discourses in this societies and with her meaning for the 

establishment of a national-language literature.

Every living language is subjected to ongoing change. The lecture anwers the question why and how the 

German language has changed. Therefore the different forms of processes of language change on the 

single linguistic levels, from sound change to alteration of the construction of texts, are discussed. All 

linguistic periods of German are considered, but particularly the development to a uniform norm of the 

German standard language in Early New High German. 

Furthermore different explanations of language change are introduced and discussed.

Apostrophes, Adresses, Invokations (L3) 


Di 14—16 LG 4 D06 

S WP Q 

Debout les damnés de la terre …Cover your heavens with clouds …You have to change your life …. Texts 

adress us. The world is full of demands, apostrophes, appeals. The grammatical forms of the vocativ, the 

rhetorical form of adressing make explicit. 

Rhetoric defines 'apostrophe' as the speaker's turning from a present audience to an absent one. The 

absence of the audience is constitutive for literary communication, i.e. literary commnication presupposes 

this absence. By vocative and apostrophe adressees are spoken to which are , so to say, not there. But 

also things and non-human entities can be adressed, most of all in poems. This feat can even be 

regarded as constitutive for lyrical poetry: "The very faculty of poetry is not mimetic representation, but 

apostrophical presentation" (Schlaffer). 

This seminar deals with the rhetoric and poetics of adressing in poems by reading texts which reflect their 

communicative situation thus making productive the absence of the adressed persons and things. Further 

topics are the rhetoric of adresssing in pragmatical communication (e.g. in political and religious texts as 

well as in advertising).

about the criterions of distinction in 20th century. In the issue we get to know non-normative approachs 

of description and discuss “Aufschreibesystem” and “Architext”.

Christian Friedrich Hunold was certainly the most famous German novelist of the early 18th century – 

famous for the “gallantry” of his style and the scandalous impact of books he loaded with 

autobiographical details. 

His career was as sudden as spectacular – the career of a 20 year old who after quitting his studies in 

Jena in 1699 started a new life in Hamburg as a role model and author in the vicinity of the city’s famous 

opera and who eventually risked this existence with his last novel, a satire on the artists and fans of the 

Hamburg’s opera. 

The seminar will focus on his last novel, the Satirical Romance after whose publication he had to leave 

Hamburg and on the biography his friend the bookseller Benjamin Wedel published in 1731, a decade 

after Hunold’s death. 

We should also find time to visit the Hunold museum at his birthplace Wandersleben near Erfurt. 

The German Wikipedia article on Hunold (by O. Simons) offers a good introduction and mentions relevant 

secondary literature for further information

Rhetoric, the art of using language to persuade, appears from its beginnings in Ancient Greece in the 

twilight of reasonable speech and manipulation. Today courses in rhetoric are in great demand, but at the 

same time we loathe the claptrap and phrase-mongering of political speeches or commercials. Yet when 

the borderline between reasonable speech and manipulation is dissolved by rhetoric, this casts a different 

light on the relationship between thinking and speaking, idea and expression. 

In our course we will discuss this in regard of rhetorical tropes and figures used in the media scene, 

commercials and political statements.

Until the eighteenth century privileges like rights to hold property, control over labour, and exemtion 

from tribute were granted to a group of white notables, to the municipalities and the church, basing their 

claims on medieval spanish law. Christian natural right, the Enlightenment and physiocracy questioned 

these privileges. Owing to the uprisings in Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico and Argentina, Paraguay and 

Uruguay (1810) the following governments (juntas, triumviratos) and assemblies initiated a series of 

reforms and a new guarantee of freedom. The early Constitutions confirmed the revolutionary concept of 

liberty. Under the leadership of young leaders contemporary liberal doctrines dominated. The 

administrations campaigned against clerical immunities and fueros and fought for free trade. That`s why 

early constitutional law in Latin America accentuated the protection of economic freedom, property and 

legal equality, even if social realities differed from the liberal assessment. 

One of the most interesting questions is: How does literature explains scientifically the revolutions of 

independence and the new concept of liberty?

The American South

This course investigates the history and culture of the American South. 

We will trace the region's past, from its antebellum opulence and oppression to the devastation of the 

Civil War and finally to the development of the modern, industrialized region. At present, there is some 

question as to whether this new South is still distinctly "southern." 

The devotion of some southerners to the region's history and culture - proudly flying the Confederate 

battle flag, for instance, despite its association with a defense of slavery - suggests that "old times there 

are not forgotten." If the South remains distinctive in many ways it also embodies both the promise and 

problems of the United States, as it has since Virginia slaveholders articulated the young nation's desire 

for independence in 1776. Perhaps then by understanding the South, we can better understand America.

Cultures of Knowledge in the early Enlightenment: George 

Psalmanazaar 


93/358 

Di 16—18 LG 1 135 

Ü WP Q 

In 1704, a book on the Asian island of Formosa appeared in England which soon emerged a best-seller. 

Its author pretended to be a native of that island and quickly became famous in important circles of 

London. His "Description of Formosa" dealt with exotic countries and customs, the practices of Catholic 

missionaries, and many other topics attractive to a British reading audience. Some years later, the author 

was unmasked as an impostor and his book turned out to be an invention aimed at the expectations of 

British readers of travel literature and anti-Catholic propaganda. 

Far from being an accurate description of Formosa, this book and the biography of its author nevertheless 

provide excellent insights into the culture of knowledge in the early Enlightenment as well as in the 

interests and expectations of readers and the public in England and Europe around 1700. 

By reading and analyzing selected passages of Psalmanazaar's "Description" as well as of his 

posthumously published "Memoirs", the course addresses questions of early modern political and 

religious culture, media and communications, social and spatial mobility, and problems of knowledge 

about foreign and exotic countries.

August II. Poniatowski (1764-1795) and continues with the period of partitions and integration of Polish 

territories into the neighboring countries. Strong emphasis will be laid on the social and political 

strategies of the population during the times of lacking state independence up to World War I.

Transfer of economic and social models between Western and Eastern 

Europe 


94/358 

Do 16—18 LG 4 D05 

HS WP Q 

The west/east divide in the economic development and productivity has been the elementary fact of the 

European history since medieval times. However, there are also models in the discussion which first 

observed this development in the early modern times and saw it as the removal of the old south/north 

divide. Undoubtedly, these directions determine the transfer of innovations, culture and institutions, 

although there is also the question of to what extent one can speak about the institution transfer in the 

reverse direction and what kinds of transformation and independent evolution the western European 

models have experienced in Eastern Europe. During this course we will explore the relationships and 

circulations across the border, adaptations, perceptions or rejection of different economic and social 

models, from “Ostkolonisation”, through “ostelbische Gutherrschaft” and “noble liberalism”, to the 

socialist system and neo-liberalism.

Gender and Constructions of Identities in East Central Europe in the 

19th Century 


Mi 16—18 LG 4 D05 

HS WP Q 

The main subject of the course is to present and analyse the specific area of the larger process of building 

national identities in modern Europe in the context of women’s emancipation and modern gender order. 

The frames of historical interpretations are 1) theories of nationalisms in 19th century Europe; 2) 

discourses of gender order, including concepts of femininity and new/bourgeois society. This phenomena 

are presented deeper in the context of the Polish case – the role of women, gender order, building 

women’s identity within the frames of political, social and cultural changes in the 19th century. 

The course subjects are: 

- concepts of the nation – theories and 

discussions on “imagined communities” 

- Polish case – from pre-modern 

political community of nobles to 

modern national community 

- women’s emancipation in Poland – 

political participation, labour 

market, education, suffrage 

- icons of Polis womanhood – Emilia 

Plater, the Mother-Pole, Marie Curie, 

and Maria Konopnicka 

- gender oblivion – on marginalization 

of women in social history in Poland 

The structure of the seminar is based on reversed order – the starting point are contemporary cultural 

and political texts (including films and visual representations), from which we go back to the past looking 

for the meanings, their change and continuity, and origins of the present gender order. One of the aims 

will be the analysis of elements of gender order, and through discussions on interpretations, building 

models of use gender in national discourses.

Oral History Collective Memory in East Central Europe

During the course students will learn methods and practices of oral history research on communism. 

Contemporary discourses and strategies concerning the past will be the frames of analysing a larger 

problem of the social/public role of historians and opportunities of their participation in social, civic, and 

pedagogical activity. 

The main issues, students will learn during the seminar are: 

- oral history – specificity of methods 

and research 

- use of oral history in research on 

history of communism (state of art in 

post-communist countries) 

- introduction to oral history – how to 

prepare, conduct an analyse interviews 

- analysing the oral narratives – 

critical reading and interpretation 

- strategies of use of oral history 

material in public spaces – from 

exhibition to pedagogy of interview 

Theoretical frames are the introduction to the practice – preparing to, and conducting interviews, and 

present the final outcome of the projects prepared by working-groups.

There are few phenomena which so effectively illustrate the contradictory political and social impulses of 

the 18th century as the secret societies. These societies were the testing ground for new egalitarian 

forms of social interaction, but they could also serve as a forum in which hierarchical distinctions and 

traditions were consciously cultivated. Some secret societies defined themselves over their commitment 

to reason and thus distanced themselves from a dark and superstitious past, while other secret societies 

developed an interest in the traditions of esoteric and theosophical knowledge. The block seminar aims to 

convey a sense for the wide spectrum of secret societies in this period and to examine their meaning in 

the context of a century defined by its devotion to the ideals of the Enlightenment.

The division between Western and Eastern Europe in the cold war era represents a central aspect of 

contemporary history after World War II. However, Western Europe was divided, too as different 

developments in politics, society and economy kept northern countries away from neighbouring states in 

the south. While democratic countries like Germany, France or Great Britain were benefiting from an 

economic and political ‘golden age’, Southern Europe was suffering from authoritarianism and 

underdevelopment. Spain, Portugal, Greece and Turkey did not take part in the ‘economic miracle’ and 

were often in the hands of dictatorships. Even Italy was just a ‘weak democracy’ and afflicted with vast 

backward regions, although it participated in the foundation of European Economic Community and held 

flourishing industries in the northern part of the country. This course offers an introduction into the 

history of Southern Europe and point out the role of democratization in the European integration process.

The lecture serves the basic access to questions of ethics. Starting point is an examination of the 

elements of the moral experience in the weekday and a summary of the interpretation of this experience 

in the western history (Ancient natural law ethic, modern ethic of autonomy, modern existentialism and 

utilitarianism, postmodernism). Fundamental terms of the ethics are to be discussed: conscience, debt, 

moral norms, natural law, human rights. The confrontation with philosophical ideas of the present ethics 

forms the conclusion of the lecture in the view of the tasks of the moral theology as a theological ethic 

today.

Economic and business ethics

V Q 

Can economic action be judged from other points of view than it’s effectiveness? Is there a specific moral 

dimension of economic? Any ethical reflection of economic and business ethics has to meet the obstacle 

that moral principles seem extrinsic even hostile to the economic rationale. Christian social ethics 

endeavours to scrutinize economy from the moral point of view and to argue for a critical ethical 

reflection of the economic sector and of economic action. The lecture displays the field of economic ethics 

from a theological view point, analyzes different moral approaches and gives insights in selected themes 

of applied economic ethics.

On the basis of the Scripture the crucial decisions in christology result from the questions of the Ancient

Since the Age of Illumination the quest of the historical Jesus is in ever new forms unavoidable. The 20th 

Century is confronted in new was with the problem of the universal meaning of Jesus Christ. Barth, 

Rahner, Kasper, Liberation Theology try to respond. Nonbelievers and the pluralism of religions and

Theology of the Sacraments (Baptism and Eucharist) 



V Q 

In Baptism and Eucharist, the sacramenta maiora, which are celebrated in the Chruch and by the Church 

right from the beginning, the believer participates in the pascal mystery of Christ, his overcoming of the 

forces of death and evil. Baptism and Eucharist realize the christian initiation originally; the Eucharist is 

bread and way of christian life. In the discussions about Baptism and Eucharist the main points of the 

doctrine of sacraments will be developped. 

The celebration of sacraments feeds and deepens Christian life and makes it visible for Christians and 

Non-Christians.

Studies and theories about the form people live together implicitly or explicitly assume that human 

beings are able to speak and thus to communicate in a very complex way. Because of this, 

communication and media theory always have referred to sociological theories and developed them in an 

adequate direction. In a complementary view, media and communication sociology can be understood as 

that part of sociology that is concerned with specific problems of communication. 

The course offers an introduction into media and communication sociology for students of communication 

and media. In a first part, we will present and discuss sociological theories and approaches that are of 

importance for communication and media research. In the second part, we ware concerned with specific 

research areas, which are studied by a sociology of media and communication.

By studying the reflections of Günther Anders on the relationship of consumers and mass media, this 

lecture provides a supplementary, and rather alternative, view of the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt 

School. This will mainly explore how the notions of reality that are transmitted through broadcasts shape 

the individual's perception of the world outside of the home, and the familiar space in which they live. 

Anders suggests that the mass audience is finally produced by the individual actions of consumers; which 

creates the potential for civic empowerment. Anders recognises that societies are challenged by 

increasing dispersion and fragmentation. 

This is a reading course that is aimed at helping students to discover and understand concepts of cultural 

and media theory that were mostly expounded in the 1920s. Contemporary scholars of media studies and 

cultural theory still have a strong interest in these ideas.

The aim of this course is to impart the systematic, underlying principles of the external and internal 

communication of a business. Business communication must be translatable into practice and at the 

same time leave room for theoretical/systematical development. The portrayal of a business as a social 

image and its communicative functions serve as the basis for this course. 

Content: After a general clarification of the terms "information" and "communication", their position in 

business will be examined. Particula attention will be given to the importance of individual and mass 

communication for business as well as to the commercial communication forms. The state of 

communication (establishment, analysis and basic approaches for change) represents the third part of

Radio F.R.E.I., the non commercial city radio of Erfurt, has been broadcasting the weekly radio 

transmission “MESCALITO” since spring 2003. This programme is made by students for students as an 

audio forum for students’ life, events, political trends, demonstrations and much more. Every Sunday yet 

before the week begins, students get information about all interesting topics which are coming up soon. 

The highly motivated editors expand continuously into all university spheres. Recently MESCALITO forms 

also part of the University courses, containing workshops (block meetings) which cover specific subjects 

like journalistic basics, presentation/moderation, interviewing as well as the field of media politics. The 

achieved knowledge and competencies will be practically realised in preparing and 

producing the weekly MESCALITO radio transmission. 

The course offers the chance for students to publish their own topics interests and needs and to create 

their own products. At the same time the students achieve technical skills, theoretical knowledge and a 

wide range 

of competencies which can improve the occupational opportunities.

Animals, hybrids, chimäre and other strange beings have been the objects 

of worship and fear and source of identity over the course of history. At a time when animals are in 

danger of becoming extinct, they seem to have achieved the same "peculiar" status of artworks or 

historical monuments. As we will most certainly lose them soon 

we often react with strategies of "Musealisierung". 

After a discussion concerning the representations of Animals in different areas of art, religion, science, 

popular culture and ethical issues, the participants will address the problem 

of animal-human relations in the form of independently developed artwork. 

Throughout the process participants will examine contemporary artistic strategies that go beyond the 

traditional metaphors often used in connection with animals

Structuralism

In this seminar we will examine the structuralistic approaches on texts as a fundamental method of 

literary analysis and thus develop a 'technique of reading'. Starting with linguistic structuralism (de 

Saussure), we will pursue the different ways in which this language ananlysis was respecified for literary 

texts (russian formalism, New Criticism, Barthes, de Man). We will then investigate other areas, in which 

structuralism as a technique of reading has been made productive, as in anthropology and mythology 

(Lévi-Strauss) and psychoanalysis (Freud, Lacan). Finally, we will also discuss the ciriticism of 

structuralism and its transgression in the direction of poststructuralism (e.g. Derrida).

Translatability 


lim. acc. 35 

Mi 12—14 LG 4 D01 

S 1 WP Q 

Poetic texts are considered notoriously difficult, if not impossible, to translate. In poetic texts, language 

relates to itself. Its meaning cannot be distinguished from its sound. Therefore, the problem of literature 

is central to the debate on translation. But at the same time literary translation is often presented as a 

model regulating the coexistence of cultures and their mutual cultural exchange. Whether possible or not, 

translation is now considered a necessity. As far as the literary text is concerned, Walter Benjamin 

considers its “translatability” as the very condition of its “continual admittance.” 

The course will analyse models of various historical concepts of translation (starting with the translation 

of the bible and ending with google.translate) and take a look at the correlative practices. Students will 

register by taking part in the first session.

The transformation of landscape into image and word is almost always connected to a religious, political, 

philosophical agenda. Strategies of representation associted with imperial aspirations or systems, in turn, 

rely on medializations of landscape in order to legitimate their existence in time and space. We will be 

examining Russian (tsarist, Soviet, Post-Soviet) strategies of landscape depiction as a starting part for 

more general examinations of such projects in the East and West, keeping in mind that precisely Russia's 

location in both spheres makes its role as a model intereting and complex.

Making a Row - About the aesthetics of noise 


Di 10—12 LG 4 D04 

S 1 WP Q 

Airports, motorways, buildings and industrial sites produce noise. This is, in some ways, the dark side of 

a mobile society. Computers, printers, air conditioners or ringing mobiles are annoying, but they are an 

acoustic dimension of working in an office. 

The lecture intends to explore the relationships of individuals towards sound and noise, using the concept 

of soundscape (Murray Schafer 1973/1988) as a template. By considering new elements and notions of 

sound and noise, the students will extend their understanding of the concept of an acoustic environment.

Contemporary American Drama

S 2 WP Q 

This seminar examines contemporary American drama from the Second World War to the present. Far 

from being a comprehensive survey of the past sixty years, it focuses on a few, significant playwrights 

who have shaped American drama and theater. We will examine not only individual plays, but the ways in 

which these plays have participated in important cultural and socio-political debates of their time as well 

as contributed historically, theoretically, and philosophically to a narrative history of the American 

theater. By concentrating on a number of key dramatists, we will be able to gauge more critically the 

aesthetic and cultural power of American drama. One of the central questions guiding our investigation is 

in what ways these playwrights and plays might have shaped a distinctly “American” drama tradition.

This praxis seminar is concerned with the question of how to make knowledge-work productive? Students 

will critically discuss recent theoretical concepts on the cathexis of capital and creativity. Following Peter 

Drucker's claim that knowledge is "the true capital of any economy", literature students of the Universität 

Erfurt are asked to cooperate in project groups in order to put the highly specified knowledge of their 

field to productive use for the members of their teams, their peers in class as well as for students, who 

are not participating in this seminar. The teams are invited to engage in projects beneficial for research, 

scholarship, pedagogy, classroom performance and/or other related matters. It is a course objective to 

familiarize students with the connective, communicative and challenging processes of teamwork. To 

increase their e-literacy for academic needs, students are taught to employ internet technology and 

social software such as blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, Flicker, and engage in online communities 

such as h-net. The teams are asked to cooperate flexibly, as well as to communicate transparently and 

ad hoc as required by the ongoing process of their projects. By engaging in joint performance, students 

will learn the fundamental tasks of self and group management.

Vladimir Sorokin: The Drama of the Novel

Ever since Vladimir Sorokin published the Noven „Roman“ (1994; Russian for “novel”), in which the 

protagonist ist called “Roman” and every chapter is written in the style of another classic Russian 

novelist, it has been clear that a key aspect of the author’s project is negotiating the novel itself – i.e. 

presenting the history of the novel as a drama, in which Tolstoj, Turgenev etc. play individual roles.. This, 

in turn, can be linked to the context of conceptualism and post-conceptualism in which Sorokin’s works 

have emerged. The analysis of this particular novel will be at the center of the seminar’s activity, relating 

it to Sorokin’s other novels and also to his dramas.

book) and centuries (18.c.-21c.). In dealing with the texts principles of literary criticism will be 

established and used as basis for didactical work with Children’s and Youth Literature.

period. 

According to Goethe, who called the ballad the “Ur-Ei” of poetry, it unites the three main genres epic, 

drama and lyric poetry. With that it is contrary to the conventional separation between the genres of 

literature, which already for a long time has been considered as problematic amongst Scholars. The 

seminar introduces to German ballads of the 18th century up to the present. It deals with their historical 

and poetological contexts and gives text-analytic knowledge as well as knowledge about the authors and 

the historical periods of literature.

period. 

Comments on the theme of the metropolis range from enthusiasm, feelings of attachment to the 

homeland, and the 

idea of being lost in the “stony sea.” What is the basis of these perceptions, which seem to be 

characterized 

simultaneously both by ambivalence and fascination? What influence did historical and artistic processes 

have on these themes? Can images of the metropolis be seen as documents bearing witness to specific 

eras and the 

experiences of specific generations? Is there such a thing as “the city without qualities,” the city without 

memory, the “non-places of super-modernism.” The city, which was once the signifying place of the 

social and 

aesthetic project of modernism seems to be in the process of dissolution. 

This seminar focuses on all of these phenomena, which are closely connected with the development of 

modern 

civilization and contemporary life. The examples, chosen primarily from literature, the fine arts, and 20thcentury 

film are examined from the perspective of cultural studies 

within the confines of their historical frameworks. In this sense the course also suggests ways to 

transcend disciplines (in secondary education). In addition the development of 

complex abilities and capabilities in dealing with art and culture is emphasized. This applies to methods 

of literary analysis as well as to enhancing interdisciplinary and 

intercultural approaches to the themes of the course.

German poetry of the 17th century 


Mo 12—14 LG 1 219 

S WP 12 Q 




period. 

During the 17th century a German-language poetry established itself besides the existing Latin-based 

scholar poetry, a delevelopment that only became possible after the vers reform by Martin Opitz (“Buch 

von der Deutschen Poetery”, 1624). This seminar aims not only to show the literary and social 

preconditions and the poetical basis for such a development, it also intends to look at the centres of its 

spreading (Silesia, Koenigsberg, Nuremberg and Northern Germany). The diversity of the German poetry 

of the 17th century in form and content will be shown by the texts of individual authors such as Opitz, 

Fleming, Gryphius, Gerhardt, Rist, Dach.

One of the main problems is that children don’t see the value of history for their own lives. The key to 

change this situation is to involve children in real situations - historical projects – in which they heve to 

use historical knowledge. In the course the students will receive theoretical foundations to execute

"How can we account for our social and mental existence in a realm of brute physical facts? [.] There is 

just one reality: Searle shows how the human reality fits into that one reality. Mind, language, and 

civilization are natural products of the basic facts of the physical world described by physics, chemistry 

and biology. Searle explains how language creates and maintains the elaborate structures of human 

social institutions. These institutions serve to create and distribute power relations that are pervasive and 

often invisible. These power relations motivate human actions in a way that provides the glue that holds 

human civilization together."

have them in a soluble form? What about the will anyway? Whence the concept of freedom? How does a 

philosophical problem look like before scientists begin to concern themselves with them? And, indeed, 

how do they look like in their hands? While dealing with questions like these we automatically come to 

speak about how philosophy as a clarificatory discipline relates to science.

Malinowski, Geertz and postcolonial criticism: ethnographic 

methodologies in religious studies 


Fr 12—14 LG 2 207 

TMGRW P Q 

This seminar traces the development and use of ethnographic methodologies from the early 20th century 

to our own day. Malinowski‘s work on traditional religion in Papua New Guinea is followed by Clifford 

Geertz‘ articulation of an approach to religion as part of culture understood as a symbol system. Not only 

his theoretical essays but also his concrete case studies on religion, for example in Java, will be read. 

More recently, post-colonial theorists have brought forward difficulties with Geertz‘ approach and 

criticized the assumptions behind ethnographic approaches in general. 

Very strong English skills are necessary for this seminar as all of the assigned texts are written in 

English. Willingness and ability to work through substantial readings each week is also essential.

Saturnals, Bean King and Carnival. "Inversion Rituals" as a 

problematic category of ritual studies 

Mo 16—18 LG 4 D08 

TMGRW P Q 

The concept of the "social inversion rituals" count among the frequently used categories of ritual studies. 

In these rituals, such as the Saturnals of ancient Rome, the hierarchy is temporarily turned 'upside down' 

and the slaves take control. In later eras, other rituals have been assigned to this category, such as the 

mediaeval boy bishop, the early modern bean king and carnival. The category thus includes a 

geographically and socially wide variety of phenomena. The main impetus for creating this concept came 

from the Manchester school. Victor Turner used van Gennep's concept of the rites of passage to 

characterise the inversion rituals as parts of the liminal (or marginal) situation between different social 

stages, which temporarily cancelled the existing social order. This enabled an open-end situation, which 

would end with transformation or return to the previous order. 

This seminar will have a look into the concept of ritual inversion in history and religious studies to test its 

empirical tenability and heuristic value in a close reading of the sources.

Dynamics of Religious Pluralism: Religion in India – An Introduction 


Di 16—18 LG 1 229 

S WP Q 

A prominent trait of the Indic civilization throughout its history, in many respects still operational today, 

has been its religious and cultural pluralism. Not only does Hinduism encompass a wide spectrum of very 

diverse religious forms and modes; Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Islam, Christianity and various tribal 

religions too played and play important roles in India. The form this pluralism takes, and the ways the 

different religions coexist have undergone numerous changes. However, one can also distinguish certain 

continuities regarding social dynamics and cultural dispositions. Discussing Indian religions from this 

perspective is of relevance not only when one attempts to understand India and its contemporary and 

historical significance. The Indian pluralistic experience is also of direct relevance for us and for our 

attempts to address the multicultural and postcolonial challenges and the new cosmopolitanism of 

“western” societies. This introductory course does not require prior knowledge of the Indian religious 

history. Required, however, is readiness to engage with new and very diverse cultural contexts. We will 

collaboratively examine various exemplary historical and contemporary constellations and discuss 

possible analytical conclusions.

Das Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen Literatur und Religion zu analysieren und zu diskutieren, steht im 

Zentrum des Seminars. Für den europäischen Raum, den wir überblicken wollen, besteht eine Verbindung 

beider Gegenstandsbereiche seit jeher. Wie aber kommen Literatur und Religion zusammen? Und wo 

können wir zugleich Trennungslinien ziehen? Im Seminar wird neben einer methodisch-theoretischen 

Diskussion, in der die zahlreiche Forschungsliteratur überblicksartig erörtert werden soll, insbesondere 

auch an Beispielen argumentiert. Diese Argumentation erfolgt diachron und bezieht die Epoche 

machenden Stationen seit der Antike ein. Das Seminar versteht sich deshalb als interdisziplinärer Raum 

des Gedankenaustauschs und der Diskussion. Zugleich stellt es den Auftakt eines Diskussionsforums dar, 

welches das aktuelle Forschungsthema von – grob beschrieben – „Bibel als Literatur“ thematisiert.

State and Religion in archaic Greece

V WP Q 

For classical scholars the Homeric epics contain the earliest written informations about the origins of the 

Greek world in the Archaic period and the earlier so called "Dark Ages". Over a period from about 800 to 

500 BC we can see the formation of the Greek political world with different autonomous city-states 

(poleis), which often made war to each other and strove for dominance, while at the same time 

developing a common cultural and religious system. The lecture is based on the well-documented 

examples of the poleis of Athens, Sparta and Corinth and provides an introduction to the political, social 

and religious life of this period.

Sources of religious history in Antiquity 

BA-Religious Studies / European Polytheisms 

Di 10—12 LG 4 D06 

S WP Q 

The textual tradition of Greek and Roman antiquity bears valuable evidence on the conceptualization of 

the divine and religious practices. For the purposes of this course, a selection of texts deriving from 

various genres and epochs shall be used in order to gain a diachronic as much as representative insight 

into the religious systems of Greek and Roman polytheism. Special emphasis shall be put on the relation 

of myth to rites and further aspects of religious pragmatism. Our main objective is to examine the 

diversity of sources attesting knowledge on the divine in original and/or in translation on the one hand, 

and to become acquainted with methodological approaches to the analysis of ancient religious discourse 

on the other. 

Elementary knowledge of Greek and Latin is required to participate in the course.

International Summer School: Muslims in the West 


S WP Q 

The relevance of Islamic cultures and Muslim religious forms for the history of European culture and ideas 

has evoked quite some interest in modern times, in particular since the 18th century. However, the topic 

became politically crucial only since the 1970s, whene, as a result of labor-migration, new Muslim 

communities established themselves in Western Europe. The specific situations of Muslim communities in 

diasporic environment has led to a further re-interpretation of Islam, that encompasses so-called 

"fundamentalist groups" as well as the so-called "Euro-Islam". This international summer school will 

elaborate on the history and cultures of Muslim communities in Europe as well as in America. We will 

consider questions such as new Islamic developments in the diaspora and the interaction between 

Muslims and non-Muslims, between majority and minority. We will also enquire into the concept of 

ethnification of Muslim cultures in the West. 15 students from Muslim countries as well as 15 students 

from Erfurt University are expected. Program including excursions and bibliography will be available in 

the secretariat in May 2010.

preserved many such texts from the pens of John Cassian, Palladius, and Rufinus. These texts will be the 

object of study for this seminar and will be studied in terms of the question: What significance is given to 

the desert fathers in these texts and how is that meaning constructed?

big number of deviations from the law of Sharia. These deviations were closely connected with the 

contemporary political circumstances und necessities, so that they changed forms as the times changed. 

After a preliminary introduction to the relevant prescriptions of the Sharia, this seminary shall investigate 

their practical applications, primarily under the aspect of the interaction between legal prescriptions und 

current politics. We shall concentrate on the 16th c., that has been a time of major changes in religious 

politics with immense consequences for the future of the Ottoman Empire. Finally, the impact of the 

Ottoman juridical praxis on the coexistence between Muslims, Christians and Jews shall also be examined.

Comparative semantics 


Mo 12—14 LG 4 D03 

S WP Q 

This seminar focuses on comparative semantics. While semantics tended to play only a minor role in the 

description and documentation of languages, the situation has changed considerably in recent times: 

there is an increasing interest in conducting semantic studies of individual languages as well as in 

exploring the possibilities for conducting comparative semantic studies. The seminar illustrates a number 

of case studies (on colour semantics, space, nominal classification and verbal classification), and 

discusses methodologies, results and cognitive implications.

knowledge represented in the brain? Can linguistic functions be located in the brain? Can neurolinguistic 

evidence support our understanding of psycholinguistic processing in production and comprehension? We 

shall look at a variety of sources of evidence including studies in acquired aphasia and more recent 

methodologies using functional neuroimaging.

tongue; tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon). We then go on to learn about "real" disorders of verbal 

communication (e.g. aphasias, dysarthrias, disorders of language development, language in dementia). 

The issues that are dealt with are highly interdisciplinary bringing together research from different areas 

(as e.g. cognitive psychology, behavioural neurology, psychiatry, speech pathology, and 

psycholinguistics).

Second-language acquisition studies have long maintained that important insights into a foreign target 

language can be gained by studying in which respects this language contrasts with the mother tongue so 

as to avoid negative transfer (interference) and strengthen positive transfer (facilitation). 

In this seminar, we will investigate the structure of English from a contrastive perspective, i.e. by 

compiling a large-scale comparison between English and German which encompasses all levels of the 

respective language systems, from their lexica, via their phonology and inflectional morphology, to their 

clausal/sentential syntax.

Pragmatics as meaning in use investigates how speakers derive additional meaning from an utterance 

that is not encoded in the word meaning. The course deals with concepts on how we infer meaning and 

read between the lines, how language is used to make changes in the real world and ways in which 

respect and power is reflected in language usage. Furthermore, conversations will be analysed in order to 

discover how speakers manage different discourse situations. All students are expected to give a short 

talk in class, which they must prepare in advance.

In a democracy parliaments are the centre for political decision-making. For some time in Germany there 

are quite a few incentives to enforce the power of parliaments as strong important players in the political 

system. The reform encludes a reform of parliamentary procedures. 

The seminar will try to develop and discuss some ideas concerning the evolution of parliamentary law in 

Germany. The rules of parliamentary procedures encompass the laws of the parliament, its members, its 

structure and its fields of activity. For most issues, these rules can be directly derived from the 

constitution and the primary parliamentary protocol. 

The seminar will - after a short introduction - focus on the main functions of the parliament. These 

are legislation, parliamentary elections and parliamentary control. Especially the issue of parliamentary 

control should be considered. Students will get to know the rules of political 

investigation exemplified on the procedures of parliamentary investigation in the state Thuringia and 

the Federation by comparison. 

The aim of the seminar is to enable students to discuss questions of parliamentary procedures using 

general/widespread/universal methods of legal science. Discussions will be held on the basis of 

presentations that are to be prepared in writing beforehand. Oral participation in the seminars will 

make up part of the final grade. 

For those taking part in the seminar, a three week internship at the Thüringer Landtag will be offered.

Do 10—12 LG 1 247a 

S WP Q 

Most of the middle European countries are affected by large-scale immigration since the Second World 

War. The reasons range from remigration from a former colony to labour migration and forced migration. 

The immigration rate especially to Germany has been declining throughout the last years, while European 

countries have been concentrating on the government of immigration flows on the one hand, and politics 

of belonging on the other. 

The seminar on the introduction to European politics of immigration aims to overview the current state of 

discussion. Besides having some sessions for a general discussion of different reasons for migration and 

the history of migration to Europe, the seminar concentrates on the following questions: What is the key

The course will provide an analytical framework to study educational systems. Hereby, it will use neoinstitutional 

approaches and focus on the development in Germany. Therefore, it will outline the major 

principles of the tertiary education system and of the higher education institutions. Further more it will 

show which actors are influencing this policy area. It will also discuss the change caused by 

Internationalisation, e. g. the Europeanisation and the introduction of New Public Management 

instruments. The comparision with Great Britain and the Russian Federation raises awareness of the 

development in Europe and show if an European Area of Eduaction is truly developing.

Communication on Individuality: Life Course and Career 


Do 18—20 LG 1 247b 

S WP Q 

The problem of individuality remains as a frame of sociological discussion since Georg Simmel has been 

introducing the individual as the social form of the distinction between the special and the general, the 

equal and the unequal. The concepts of life course on the one hand and career on the other may 

demonstrate this. Life courses are circular processes which complete an individual with special respect to 

his or her social origin and describe his or her personality (›curriculum vitae‹). Careers are linear up and 

down or inside-out or outside-in paths with no respect to social origin but in forms of concurrence and 

competition (›carrière‹, fr. racetrack, speedway). The context of life courses is society, the context of 

careers is formal organization. But organizations are forms of society, too. Thus, each individual can be 

described in terms of both organization and society and of both career and life course. If these 

observations are right - and we should discuss this question -: What are their sociological consequences?

V WP Q 

Statistics is an essential tool in economics and social sciences, both in theoretical as well as in applied 

work. Typically, it is rather the abundance than the lack of data which challenges the researcher or the 

practitioner of the information age. An essential task of statistics is, thus, to prepare available data in an 

efficient way such that they can be used as a basis for decision-making. 

This course introduces aspects of descriptive and inductive statistics. Descriptive statistics comprises the 

collection, graphical presentation and description of data with statistical measures. Inductive statistics on 

the other hand tries to draw conclusions about a population on the basis of a sample. 

The aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge of statistical concepts. Students should be enabled to 

understand and apply these concepts. Further, they should gain some experience which allows them to 

choose and apply suitable techniques to real problems. Finally, they should be able to critically evaluate 

own results as well as published statistical reports. 

Knowledge of the basic statistical concepts and methods provided in this course are a prerequisite for all 

further courses in the area of empirical economic research and econometrics in the BA and the MA 

programme. This course is part of the area mathematical and quantitative methods in economics.

applications as well as limitations of such a formalised and mathematical approach to policy analysis. 

There are no mathematical prerequisites, though a certain willingness to learn new mathematical 

concepts and models is demanded. 

A lack of German literature about this topic requires the students' readiness to employ English sources. 

The introductory part of the course is April 20. The seminar itself is scheduled to start regularly on May 4.

societies construct and perceive their spatial environment – long after the so-called “spatial turn” had 

been proclaimed by geography and social sciences. However, despite fruitful single approaches to analyze 

space, a methodology to analyze the complexity of historical spatialities and perceptions of spaces in the 

past is still lacking. Therefore the seminar is structured the following way: 1. Reading of selected 

theoretical approaches, 2. Discussion of space types and spatiotemporal modalities, 3. Presentation of 

historical case studies and exploring possible fields of application (global history, urban spaces, religious

and revealed phenomena concerning collective identities, politics of memory, approaches to the past, role 

of autobiographical experiences. Among the aims of the seminar is working on self-reflection of the 

participants about their identity, cultural background and impact of presence of the past. 

The main themes of debates and work on the seminar are: 

- collective memory – theoretical 

framework 

- memory in time of historical change 

(settling accounts with the communist 

pasts – comparative analyse of 

strategies) 

- politics of memory – aims, 

strategies, results 

- modes of memorial culture in postcommunist 

countries (nostalgia, popculture 

and memory, education of the 

past) 

- history and memory – correlations, 

contradictions, mutuality of 

influence 

- historians and their work for/against 

memory

phenomenon corruption may be found in medieval societies, too. Which type of conduct, however, was 

regarded to be corrupt by medieval witnesses? According to whose rules were nepotism or sale of offices 

identified as such? How would corruptness be sanctioned? Did rules of policy come into action? These 

questions will lead our discussions on the basis of case studies.

From the early eighteenth century onwards, all British rulers were of German descent. This is only one 

example of the manifold contacts between England and Central Europe in the early modern era. 

The seminar scrutinizes the early modern pre-history of a German interest in Britain and in its culture and 

language. It also aims at analyzing why and in which respect Central Europe became increasingly 

attractive for Britain and its inhabitants. By looking at various political, religious, social, scientific, and 

cultural aspects and by reading a wide range of different historical sources, a multi-faceted image of 

Anglo-German contacts, perceptions, and perhaps even misunderstandings evolves - from the time of the 

Reformation until the Enlightenment.

Scholarly correspondences around 1700: The Letters of Ernst Salomon 

Cyprian. 


The Gotha pastor and librarian Ernst Salomon Cyprian is nowadays a largely unknown figure. However he 

left an enormous amount of hand-written documents and letters which are now kept at the 

Forschungsbibliothek Gotha. These materials are more than just of limited interest to specialists of 

theology and intellectual history for the period around 1700: They illuminate not only regional matters 

but the larger political and religious issues of early modern Central Europe. 

Starting from Cyprian's letters, the seminar aims at analyzing scholarly communication in the late 

seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It focuses on formal questions such as writing techniques 

and networks of correspondence. Furthermore, issues of religion and politics in the era of the early 

Enlightenment will be addressed. 

At the same time, the seminar serves as an introduction into reading and analyzing early modern handwritten 

sources. Knowledge of the Latin language may be helpful.

Nation – Nationalism – National State

The "invention" of the modern nation and the national state had its origins in the American and, even 

more forcefully, the French Revolutions. Both became globally the dominant pattern of the organization of 

societies and states. Within Europe this pattern war successfully established in three or four waves, 

respectively, during the 19th and 20th century and, generally, within the individual societies top down. 

The basic problems, however, were always very similar: the internal integration by a common language, 

culture, and governmental organization implied force against "others" and minorities on the one hand and 

the definition of the national "self" in opposition to the neighboring states and peoples on the other. Both 

culminated in an (aggressive and militaristic) nationalism.

History usually deals with humans, their thoughts and actions as well as with the social situations 

influencing their life. Environmental history, by contrast, focuses on the interaction between human 

beings and nature. 

In the spring term, the Department of History and the research platform "World Regions and 

Interactions" jointly organize a lecture series featuring international experts on environmental history. 

We will begin with an introduction into theoretical approaches to environmental history; in the course of 

the term students will have the opportunity to participate in discussions of the respective lectures.

movement in the United States. The course extends the story of the African American freedom movement 

beyond the traditional narrative of the demonstrations and protests in the 1950s and 60s, and it explores 

the legacies of this struggle in movements for women's rights, gay rights, and immigrant rights. 

Throughout the course, we will be working on the craft of research and the art of writing. By the end of 

the semester we will not only have a better understanding of what other scholars have said about the 

American civil rights movement, we will also have contributed our own original efforts at chronicling the 

history of the struggle.

The USA and her neighbors - borderland studies in historical

Do 10—12 LG 1 128 


The so called spatial turn in cultural studies has recently become an aspect in historical writing with 

borders and borderlands as prominent fields of inquiry. No longer conceptualized as separating spaces, 

scholars now underscore exchange, transfer and interaction along borders and in borderlands. In a first 

step, this class is going to introduce students to basic ideas and theories of spatial turn thinking. During 

the second part of the class several examples taken from the 19th & 20th centuries should trigger 

debates about the U.S. and its neighbors in the South, the West and the North.

Postcolonial Thought on Culture in Comparative Perspective 


230/358 

n.Vbg. ° ° 

HS 

Issues of cultural identity, cultural renewal and cultural critique have been intensely debated questions in 

societies that have come under colonial and neo-colonial power politics. So far these debates have been 

examined in their confrontation with the West but rarely, if at all, in a comparative perspective with each 

other. The Arab discussions in particular have been systematically left out of cross-cultural conversations. 

This course proposes a critical, comparative reading of such debates in three regions of the world: Latin 

America, Africa and the Arab world. Its purpose is to establish the various points of similarity and 

difference between them in order to find out to what extent their themes, approaches, pitfalls and 

achievements are specific to their cultural legacies, languages, religions, races, geo-political situations, 

economic problems, and/or colonial, neo- and post-colonial givens. It invites to reflect on the findings of 

such a comparative examination and to ponder its implications for cultural essentialism

From the anaincement of the not yet published book: 

"How can we account for our social and mental existence in a realm of brute physical facts? [.] There is 

just one reality: Searle shows how the human reality fits into that one reality. Mind, language, and 

civilization are natural products of the basic facts of the physical world described by physics, chemistry 

and biology. Searle explains how language creates and maintains the elaborate structures of human 

social institutions. These institutions serve to create and distribute power relations that are pervasive and 

often invisible. These power relations motivate human actions in a way that provides the glue that holds 

human civilization together."

Emblemata (this book originated the wave of emblem books for the next two centuries - in a pre-TV-age 

the idea of a combination of text and image was appreciated enthusiastically); Descartes: Mediationes 

(the self-fashioning of philosophical thinking beyond tradition originated a new self-conscience among 

philosophers and scientists); Pierre Bayle: Dictionnaire (an encyclopedia becomes the main work of the

Because of two causes Faith needs a reasonable justification: to preserve the invocative-character of 

faith, Analysis of the Faith has to ensure faith is based on the self-revelating god itself and nothing else. 

In the same way analysis of the faith has to show, that faith is a reasonable expression of human 

existence. The lecture claims to connect both challenges. 

Theological concepts of Modernity and contemporary time will be regarded.

Legal consequences of the present ethical controversies in church and

Today's society tries to solve many problems with an extreme privatization of decision making and right 

structures. Sexual ethics, public health and the death culture should enable a flexible life. Thanks to the 

technical means of modern culture this is possible at the same time. However many ethical problems 

result from this tendency. The questions shall be discussed at areas which reach from the life partnership 

law up to the artificial insemination, PGD and addiction help.

Emerging Ritual - Ritual, Ritual Competence and Ritual Criticsm by 

Ronald L. Grimes 


Di 14—16 

S 

275/358 

Ronald L. Grimes is one of the todays most important scholars in the field of ritual studies. Twenty years 

ago, he introduced the notion of "emerging ritual". In contrast to traditional concepts of ritual, he 

concentrates on the process of ritualization - and not on ritual as fixed structure. Many question emerge 

from his new insight: What are the meanings and functions of rituals in a given culture? How were rituals 

invented? According which ideas and rules do people invent new rituals? And especially: What kind of 

knowlegde and competence is necessary for this kind of ritual practice? In our seminar we will read and 

discuss Ronald L. Grimes theories but we also study some cases of ritual practice.

laws, how can a sound moral validation of economy work without being utopian or helplessly idealistic? In 

the seminar, different theological and economic approaches to business ethics will be examined and assessed 

against each other, and selected spe-cific fields of business ethics will be analyzed.

Social justice in the perspective of a judge and a pastor 


277/358 


S 

Justice is a basic idea of any legal system as well as of any religion. But it seems quite difficult to define 

"justice" to suit everybodies conception of it. 

The term "social" might be understood in different ways, too. Is it a legal category or rather an ethical 

one? The students will discuss different aspects of "social justice" and the (im-)possibility of a widely 

accepted definition. 

One lecture shall follow the idea of justice throughout the centuries culminating in the question what can 

be expected from todays "sozialstaat" from an ecclesiastical or a legal view. 

The role of priests and judges in everyday-life will be discussed. What idea of man is implemented, and 

how is the "zeitgeist" influencing personal decisions concerning "social justice"? 

Before visiting a trial at the Federal Court for Labour Affairs there will be an introduction to our legal 

system and the proceedings at the court, and there will be further discussion of "social justice" as 

granted in real life to our fellow-citizens.

"Contested Concepts (XVI): Translation - Potential and Limits of 

Understanding" 


HS 

279/358 

Translation is not confined to language and the field of linguistics. As the literary scholar Umberto Eco has 

emphasized: translation represents rather a “shift… between two cultures”. This effort to relate cultures 

and make "the other" understood unfolds into two directions: for one, at stake are interrelationships 

between distinct entities (or actors) that operate on multiple levels and need a broader spectrum of 

interpretive approaches and tools. What, then, are these tools for the enterprise of translating traces of 

the past and make them understandable for a present day audience? - Secondly, translation does not call 

for flattening out differences between the observer (for instance, the historian) and the observed (or their 

materials the historian is dealing with). In contrast, a primary task of translating is to recognize the very 

difference and possible distance between ’us’ and ’them’, i.e. ‘their’ representations, whether they come 

as text, sound, or (still or moving) image.

Studying ancient civilization on the fragmentary basis of surviving sources is an interpretative exercise 

that is involving the position of the researcher as much as her or his objects. In the case of religion, the 

task has not been easier. The 10th International Spring School will follow important stations in the 

understanding of ancient Mediterranean religions from the 19th century onwards. Special emphasis will 

be given to those authors and models whose manuals, dictionaries or monographies influence research 

even today: for instance Theodor Mommsen, Georg Wissowa, Franz Cumont, Georges Frazer, Ulrich von 

Wilamowitz-Möllendorf, Julian Toutain, Jane Harrison, the “Religionsgeschichtliche Schule”, Martin P. 

Nilsson, Angelo Brelich. Which were their intellectual models and basic suppositions, how are those 

reflected in their reconstructions of ancient religions? 

Lectures and seminars will offer insights into different periods, authors, and institutions. The work will

This course consists of two basic elements: practical pronunciation and listening skills. 

At the segmental level, the practical pronunciation component covers the production of the English 

phonemes that cause difficulty for learners of English as a second language. The supra-segmental level 

offers practice in aspects of connected speech such as weakening, rhythm, melody and stress (nuclear 

tones). Although this language-laboratory-based course is primarily practical, theoretical elements of 

English phonology will be involved in explanations for the production of English speech. The phonetic 

alphabet will be used throughout the course and will be tested alongside a passage to be read out in 

examination conditions. 

The listening-skill elements will start off with practice from Cambridge First Certificate materials, but will 

then proceed to diverse situations for listening such as story-telling, dialogues and different varieties of 

English. The students will also prepare a brief extract taken from a feature film (either a video cassette or 

DVD) of their own choice for presentation in which listening difficulties/interesting aspects are highlighted.

and/or improve special knowledge in the field of grammar terminology and practice. So it focusses on 

phenomena like parts of speech( nouns, adjectives, adverbs,and articles. 

It is a so called pedagogically oriented grammar course using practice material taken from a wide range 

of grammar books, students books and textbooks used at school and university levels. 

Participants are expected to be prepared for classroom activities and to work with an English grammar 

book, e.g. R. Murphy: English Grammar in Use(CUP 2000), Cornelsen English Grammar (Cornelsen 

2004), M.Swan: How English works (OUP 1997) and others . 

As it is used as the basic material for background reading, students should be able to work on the 

following book: 

A Crash Course in English Grammar by John F. Davis. Klett 2003. ISBN 3-12-939589; 

There will be different written tasks/tests to be worked on throughout the course and a final test at the

This translation course is shared by two instructors, one German and one British, to enable translation 

skills to be developed as effectively as possible in both directions. The primary aim is pedagogic. In the 

English-German direction, the main focus is on increasing language awarness and developing translatory 

competence(particularly with respect to false friends, idiomatic expressions and proverbs)while at the 

same time L1 skills will also be improved as a second result. 

Rather than being intended as a training course for potential translators, the German English direction 

involves a deep-level contrastive analysis of English at the syntactical, semantic and cultural 

levels.Course bibliography and texts will be provided at the beginning of the course.

"I am no good at learning languages." "The teacher never really explains it properly." "Why is it the 

he/she doesn't do what I say?" 

Have you ever considered that we might have a different approach to learning? This course looks at 

different models of learner types and learning styles and strategies and is, therefore, suitable both for 

students who want to become teachers of English and those who want to gain a deeper understanding of 

learner differences. Participants should have at least B2 competence in English and a keen interest in the 

topic. Credit points are linked to presentations and written assignments. Open to MaL students. Course 

requirements: see details in the online registration form.

lim. acc. 20 





Speaking and Reading belong to the Four Skills being developed and improved in foreign language 

teaching. The seminar focusses mainly on basic linguistic features serving as the base of improving 

speaking and reading activities in a primary classroom. 

The speaking part of this course aims at increasing the students’ awareness of the phonological aspects 

of English not only to improve the students own speaking skills, but also to enable the students to teach 

pronunciation to children in the primary school. The initial emphasis will be on phonemes German 

speakers find difficult such as English vowels, after which the focus will be on supra-segmental features 

such as intonation, rhythm and melody. The class assignments will have a classroom orientation such as 

making use rhymes and rhythmic language for lexical fields and for reading skills in general. To promote 

fluency, some assignments will involve techniques in storytelling for the primary classroom. 

Assessment is based on weekly assignments and a final test for this half of the course. The test will 

include some transcription from IPA into normal orthography, a cloze test and a short essay. 

The second part which focuses on developing and improving reading skills will aim at book reports or 

presentations of books which might and can be used in the primary classroom. 

There is no set book for the course as course materials will be supplied throughout the course either 

directly or via the download page. 

As this seminar is taught in English, students will have to revise and learn the linguistic terms as well as 

particular classroom language in order to improve their overall oral competence.

Elite colleges, quality dictionaries, century-old traditions, and allegations of masonic ties have fostered 

the view of Oxford and Cambridge as the breeding places of excellence, the entry tickets to aristocracy, 

upper class and life peerage, and above all, the epitome of Englishness. This course looks at the history 

of the university cities, the link between academia and power as well as the relationship between the 

(snobbish) gown-wearing student population and ordinary towns folk through the centuries, exploding a 

few myths about the presumed connection of chivalry and Englishness along the way. Quality and 

success of the course will depend on active participation and motivated self-study. Advanced English 

language skills required.
