Comment/Description

The course is designed to provide an introduction to the scientific field of Cultural Studies, to the main aspects and issues of American and British history and culture, and to scientific research methods. Each session will deal with a specific historical or cultural theme such as religion, politics, immigration, gender concepts, media power etc. Within each of these fields of enquiry, we will focus on particular questions and case studies. The aim of sessions is twofold: on the one hand, we will study cultural phenomena and on the other hand, we will apply methods and theories of Cultural Studies in order to explore them.

In the interest of everybody's health and other impediments caused by Covid-19, this is a hybrid module. It consists of three units: an independent online learning and exam module on ILIAS (1), (2), live seminar sessions, and an online tutorial class (3). You find all necessary and detailed information in the seminar schedule file here on Stud.IP.

(1) You will find the Online Learning and Exam Module under Lernobjekte in November. Please check and read the instructions carefully.

(2) Live sessions will be offered for groups of 50 students every other week EITHER on Thursday or Friday, please sign into the correct group in "TeilnehmerInnen; Gruppen/Funktionen."

(3) In addition, there is a one hour online tutorial every week (choose one of the nine options in the separate Stud.IP course). In the tutorials you will get acquainted with and practice research methods such as working with different text types and sources, identifying relevant material and citing it appropriately. Furthermore, you will learn about using bibliographical search engines and data bases, about appropriate and effective internet research, and last but not least, about how to write sound scientific papers.
