Learning target:
By the end of the course students will have gained knowledge of the key literary genres, technical aspects, and critical terms that will form the foundation for the further development of an academic understanding of the wide-ranging scope of British and American literatures.
Literature:

A digital reader with primary and secondary texts will be made available at the beginning of the semester. Additionally, students are required to purchase the following texts:

Mario Klarer, An Introduction to Literary Studies (1999)
David Henry Hwang, M. Butterfly (1988)
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness (1899)

Friday  (weekly) 05.09.2025 – 05.12.2025 10:15 – 11:45 EO 145 Hörsaal (Bürgerhörsaal); Schloss Ehrenhof Ost
Description:
During this course students will learn the basic skills and methodologies necessary for the study of literature, especially with regard to anglophone letters and cultures. Students will learn how to analyze poetry, prose, and drama by studying major works of British and American literature from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries. The focus will be on the technical as well as cultural aspects of works of literature and their historical contexts. 

The course will start by answering the question what literature and the study of literature actually are and then provide an introduction to the three main genres of literature written in English (prose, drama, and poetry). In discussing these genres, we will take a closer look at key theoretical concepts and tools for the analysis of literary texts. Besides, we will also identify important periods in the history of British and American literature.

Important Note RE: Tutorials
The lecture will be accompanied by mandatory tutorials for which you have to sign up separately. Please note that the tutorials are attached to specific lectures and are not interchangeable. While both lectures will cover the same content, the scheduling might differ slightly between sessions and it is therefore advisable to attend a tutorial with the tutors who are also attending the lecture in question.

Students who register for lecture A (Dr. Kucharzewski) should therefore also register for a corresponding tutorial by Maja Häcker, Lea May, or Jule Remmers.

Content
The lecture International Cultural Studies introduces students to basic select topics and concepts fundamental to the field of Cultural Studies by discussing texts and theories from international scholars. It provides an overview of key terms such as race, class, gender, and identity, among others, and seeks to enable students to understand and reflect upon these key terms and their underlying concepts within their historical, societal, and cultural context. To do so, it raises questions on how cultural texts and practices shape our understanding of society, politics, history and culture.

Organizational Information
Lecture in Inverted Classroom (IC) Format
The course follows an Inverted Classroom (IC) format. Each week, students will gain online access to a 45-minute video lecture along with supplementary materials (texts, presentations, links, etc.). These materials are to be studied independently during a self-learning phase. Weekly online quizzes and additional interactive tools help students consolidate their understanding of the course content.
Students also have the opportunity to further discuss the material and clarify open questions in weekly tutorial sessions led by master’s student tutors.
The video lectures are complemented by four Inverted Classroom (IC) sessions held on-site in a hybrid format (both in-person and online). These sessions aim to embed the content of each thematic unit into a broader context and to highlight connections to current developments and phenomena.
The course concludes with a written exam consisting of single-choice questions and short essay responses. The exam will be conducted in a “Bring Your Own Device” format, meaning students will answer the questions in a university exam room using their own laptops.
Please note: A different examination format applies for students participating in the Engage.EU Online Exchange Initiative. Further details will be provided upon admission to the course.

Description:
In a globalised world, the ability to work effectively across cultures is crucial for businesses to succeed. From an individual perspective, cultural intelligence (Thomas, 2008), involves knowledge and awareness of cultural differences and developing communication skills to build trust between people from different backgrounds.
The course will cover the origins and history of intercultural communication', including intercultural business communication and the taxonomies developed by scholars such as Hofstede, Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner, Hall and Meyer. The course theories are illustrated by case studies, which the students will work through in class. Critical perspectives on the classic taxonomies and the concept of culture are also discussed. The students will learn to distinguish between etic and emic perspectives on culture as well as between static and dynamic perspectives. Furthermore, social constructivist and critical cross cultural management perspectives are covered, specifically related to diversity management and language management.  Diversity management and inclusive leadership will also be linked to social sustainability. There is also an emphasis on reflection, critical incidents, cultural adaptation and working in global teams.  
Learning outcomes include knowledge, skills and general competencies. Students will develop knowledge of fundamental theories from the field of intercultural business communication, knowledge about cross cultural management and how it links to diversity management and inclusion.
Students will become skilled in critically assessing the theories on intercultural business communication in light of practical cases, develop personal reflection skills and how to work effectively in multicultural groups.
General competencies include demonstrating sensitivity towards and respect for diversity in the workplace and understanding the importance of diversity management and inclusive leadership.
Teaching methods include readings, videos, websites, interactive lectures, case studies and group discussions. The course requires active participation, with an emphasis on written and oral reflection on learning.

This course is taught by Agnes Bamford from the Norwegian School of Economics (Bergen, Norway) and is offered with the generous support of Engage.EU.

Description:
Wie sind die romanischen Sprachen entstanden? Wie ist ihre Ausdifferenzierung zu erklären, ihre heutige 'Gestalt' zu beschreiben? Welche Begriffe, Theorien und Methoden stellt die moderne Sprachwissenschaft dafür zur Verfügung? Welche Anwendungsbereiche eröffnen sprachwissenschaftliche Theorien und Methoden (z. B. Textlinguistik, Spracherwerb und Mehrsprachigkeit, Soziolinguistik...)?

Diese und ähnliche Fragen werden in der Ringvorlesung behandelt und dabei gemeinsame Grundlagen für das weitere sprachwissenschaftliche Studium vermittelt. Um das Verständnis direkt zu vertiefen, sind kurze Quiz in die Präsenzsitzungen integriert: In Kleingruppen oder im Austausch mit der Gesamtgruppe werden Lösungsansätze diskutiert und Themen reflektiert. Die Aufgaben dienen nicht der Bewertung, sondern als Lernbegleitung – sie geben individuell unterstützendes Feedback, stärken den Austausch unter Kommiliton*innen und helfen, Wissenslücken frühzeitig zu erkennen.

International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is a body of rules that seeks to limit the effects of armed conflict. IHL protects those who are not participating in hostilities, and those who are no longer participating in hostilities. This body of law imposes limits on the methods and means of warfare. IHL forms part of public international law and is largely based on treaties and rules of customary international law. 
In this course the development as well as the basic concepts of IHL will be explored. Students will be introduced to the most important documents governing armed conflict, learn how to apply these and will consider the challenges posed to the application of IHL in armed conflicts. A large part of the course will focus on the new developments in IHL including the emergence of new forms of armed conflicts and the development and use of new technologies in armed conflict.

Assessment
Assessment for this course will consist of one presentation and one take-home exam.
