Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
In this class we will engage a selected variety of theoretical concepts that can help us understand the processes in which American popular culture crosses cultural borders and boundaries: recent work on globalization; cultural history; cultural studies; visual culture theory; and the performative turn in cultural theory at large can further our understanding of the journey of U.S. American cultural production to its appropriations in Austria-of how the blues and Bob Dylan crossed the Atlantic to be taken up and reworked in "Austropop"; how TV shows like CSI New York have become so popular that Austrian TV producers consider making a series called "CSI Vienna"; how the road movie genre found itself reworked in Austrian films such as Indien in the 1990s; or how CocaCola, McDonald's, and Starbucks have become ambivalent symbols of "America" in everyday life in contemporary Austria.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
class participation; participation in two-week student exchange with Bradley University students in which students attend classes offered by BU faculty in Vienna, poster presentation of collaborative work with BU students, and written assignments.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
On the one hand, this course aims to increase and deepen students' prior knowledge of significant concepts in contemporary cultural theories, esp. regarding popular and mass culture. On the other, this class will enable students to use concepts in critically reflected ways to engage effectively in contemporary cultural discourses and debates, especially with regard to "Americanization" and anti-Americanisms (as dimensions of or in relation to globalization), the "clash of civilizations" and cultures, cultural transfer and cultural change.
Prüfungsstoff
Small-group and all-class discussions of texts from the reader, group presentations and collaborative work with students from Bradley University. In the first third of this class, students will share readings with BU students on the history and different cultures of Vienna. The second part of this class consists of meetings with BU students and their professors (May 20 to June 5.) Based on their preparatory theoretical work and their practical investigations with Bradley students, Vienna students will then investigate selected topics in more detail.
