Comment/Description

This seminar wants to examine the reflection of Great Britain's history, tradition, and cultural heritage in various celebratory events staged since 1945. Beyond the study of self-enactment in such concrete events, the seminar will explore concepts of identity (national, political, cultural) and memory (cultural, collective) as fundamental fields of inquiry within Cultural Studies.

Possible celebratory events we are going to cover will likely include:
the 1951 Festival of Britain,
the Notting Hill Carnival,
the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games,
and recent Royal events, not least the Trooping the Colour Birthday Parade of June 13.

Prüfungsleistung: mdl. Prüfung
