Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. While we all are still in the grip of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and its physical, psychological, social and economic repercussions, it is nevertheless imperative to also look at it from a "Biocultures" (Morris & Davis) perspective. This class will offer a cultural pathway into the study of contagious diseases and epidemic events. As will become clear, epidemics have always at the same time terrified and fascinated mankind. We will look at the way narratives about contagion and epidemics function as a means to demarcate socio-cultural Otherness as well as national identity formations and belonging. We will analyze literary and filmic representations of epidemics in order to uncover meaningful connections between key themes of Cultural Studies, the dominance of the biomedical discourse and mankinds shifting understanding of contagion.
Literatur	All necessary reading materials will be provided via Moodle.
Leistungsnachweis	regular attendance, careful reading of all assigned texts, frequent participation in group discussions, one in-class presentation (15-20 minutes) and final short essay (2000 words)
