Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course deals with various topics relating to culture and communication in the English speaking world. The special focus of this course will be on African literatures written in English and transcultural writing. The aim of the course is to promote culture-specific knowledge as well as awareness for the complex relations between culture and communication. This process will be stimulated by students' independent work on historical, cultural and social questions relating to the topic of the course. The following skills will be strengthened: speeking freely on a topic, formulating personal views, writing coherent texts. The course will be held in English. Students will develop their own areas of interest within the topic of the course. They will be provided with a reading list, but will also do their own research. Understanding of the topic will be deepened through individual and group work, presentations and discussions. Academic writing will be practiced through exercises and the production of a seminar paper (Proseminararbeit).
