Colloquium - Einzelansicht

This research colloquium provides students in Anglophone Modernities with the opportunity to study and critically engage with various current approaches to literary and cultural studies. We will read one novel, Bernadine Evaristo's Girl, Woman, Other, which allows us to apply and contexualise the critical reading. Advanced students (who take their third colloquium) must present their MA thesis projects and will receive feedback. In addition, we will make time to discuss the process of writing an MA thesis. Attention: the central approaches discussed in this particular colloquium are marxism, feminism, and queer studies: Do not choose this colloquium if you have taken one with this focus before.

All reading will be provided online, including Evaristo's novel. I nevertheless recommend that you obtain a copy of the novel and already read it before the beginning of class.

Regular active participation in person (I will no longer pass students who fail to participate regularly). Two 500 word essays (online assignments). Students who take this course as Colloquium 3 will futhermore have to present their MA thesis research (15 min) and submit a written documentation (1500 words).
