IV. DIPLOMSTUDIUM ANGLISTIK UND AMERIKANISTIK: FREIE WAHLFÄCHER

Laut Studienplan für das Diplomstudium der Studienrichtung Anglistik und Amerikanistik, der am 1. Oktober 2001 in Kraft getreten ist, entfallen von den 120 Semesterstunden, die insgesamt zu absolvieren sind, 72 auf die Pflicht- und Wahlpflichtfächer und 48 auf die freien Wahlfächer. Die Zusammensetzung der Pflicht- und Wahlpflichtfächer ist dem Studienplan zu entnehmen.

Für die in der Anlage 1 Z 1.41 des UniStG vorgesehenen und in die Studienpläne der geistes- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Studienrichtungen

aufgenommenen „freien Wahlfächer“ ergeben sich folgende Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten:

• 1 Wahlfachstudiengang• Kombination von Wahlfachmodulen• Kombination von Wahlfachmodulen und einzelnen Lehrveranstaltungen • Kombination einzelner Lehrveranstaltungen

Die Kombination einzelner Lehrveranstaltungen – auch in Verbindung mit Wahlfachmodulen – ist im Vorhinein bewilligungspflichtig, d.h. die Studierenden haben zu Beginn eines jeden Semesters auf einem dafür vorgesehenen Formblatt (http://www.uibk.ac.at/c/c6/c601/formulare/freiewahlfaecher.doc) die ins Auge gefassten, ergänzenden und vertiefenden Lehrveranstaltungen zu melden (beim Studienbeauftragten für Anglistik und Amerikanistik: Ass.-Prof. Dr. Werner Marxgut, Inst. für Romanistik). Innerhalb eines Monats ab Einlangen dieser Meldung kann die Wahl dieser Lehrveranstaltungen bescheidmäßig untersagt werden, wenn die Wahl in Verbindung mit der gewählten Studienrichtung weder wissenschaftlich noch im Hinblick auf berufliche Tätigkeiten sinnvoll ist. Erhalten die Studierenden innerhalb dieser Frist keine Untersagung, gelten die „freien Wahlfächer“ als genehmigt. Zeugnisse, die in anderen Studienrichtungen und/oder an anderen Universitäten erworben wurden, können auch im Nachhinein für die „freien Wahlfächer“ angerechnet werden. Am Ende des Studiums sind die für die „freien Wahlfächer“ erworbenen Zeugnisse zur Überprüfung der Überein-stimmung mit den vorangegangenen Meldungen vorzulegen.

8

Neben der individuell gestalteten Kombination einzelner Lehrveranstaltungen besteht die Möglichkeit, die „freien Wahlfächer“ mit einem Wahlfachstudiengang oder mit mehreren Wahlfachmodulen zu füllen, deren Wahl in den Studienplänen der einzelnen Studienrichtungen empfohlen und daher nicht bewilligungspflichtig ist. Die angebotenen Wahlfachstudiengänge und Wahlfachmodule sind im Mitteilungsblatt der Universität Innsbruck unter den Nummern 438, 439 und 527, Studienjahr 2001/2002 (http://www.uibk.ac.at/c101/mitteilungsblatt/), 40., 41. und 61. Stück, ausgegeben am 4. 06. 2002 und 7. 08. 2002, veröffentlicht worden. Die vollständige Absolvierung der Wahlfachstudiengänge und –module ist am Ende des Studiums im Prüfungsreferat der Fakultät mit den entsprechenden Zeugnissen nachzuweisen.Da zu Beginn des Studiums der notwendige Überblick über die an der Universität angebotenen Lehrinhalte vielfach noch fehlt, empfiehlt es sich, mit dem Studium der „freien Wahlfächer“ bis zum zweiten oder dritten Semester zu warten, um sich in der Zwischenzeit über die individuelle Gestaltung der „freien Wahlfächer“ ein klareres Bild zu verschaffen.

Herdina Mo 13.30-15.00/40810PS 2: Language Awareness III: Analysis B

In this course students will learn to identify, analyse and synthesize language use. The aim is to make students aware of the importance of and the connection between form and meaning. The knowledge of grammatical structures should be seen to facilitate an understanding of the use of language within the co- and context of different text types. The course serves both to highlight the need and to provide the ability to understand successful language flexibility.Course objective:Knowledge of the structures of English (terminological, nomological, functional); understanding the structures of English (ability to interpret grammatical knowledge in a cotext and context-sensitive way); ability to apply understanding (ability to apply interpreted knowledge in specific contexts)Method:Text-based work providing ample opportunity to analyse, interpret and apply a large variety of linguistic structures in context to express appropriate meaning accurately.Recommended Reading:Biber Douglas, et.al., Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English, Pearson Education 1999Sylvia Chalmer, Current English Grammar, Macmillan, London and Basingstoke 1984Downing Anne and David Locke, A University Course in English Grammar, Phoenix Elt, 1995Huddleston R., Pullum G., The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, CUP 2002Quirk Randolph, A University Grammar of English, Longman, London 1973

These introductory courses aim at providing an overview of different areas of language study. They deal with linguistic terms, questions and methods that students of English (both Lehramt and Diplom) should be familiar with before attending more advanced courses in linguistics.Topics to be discussed include The Origins of Language; The Properties of Language; Language and The Brain; Human Language vs. Animal Communication; Phonetics and Phonology; Morphology; Syntax; Semantics; Pragmatics; Discourse Analysis; First Language Acquisition; Second Language Learning; English as a World Language.

Herdina Do 17.15-18.00/HS 3VU 1: Applied Linguistics (Survey)

The lecture will provide an introduction to and overview of the main fields of applied linguistics. These will include established so-called, 'hyphen-linguistic' categories such as sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics as well as more specific topics including language planning, language change, societal and individual multilingualism. Particular attention will be paid to issues of language learning and language teaching in a multilingual context.Recommended reading:Aitchison Jean, Linguistics, Teach Yourself Books, Hodder and StoughtonCarter Ronald, Introducing Applied Linguistics, Harmondsworth 1993Guy Cook, Applied Linguistics, Oxford Introductions to Language Study, Oxford University Press 2003Alan Davies, An Introduction to Applied Linguistics, Edinburgh University Press 1999P.H.Matthews, Linguistics: A Very Short Introduction, Oxford University Press, 2003Peter Trudgill, Sociolinguistics.

VU 1: English Phonetics and Phonology

In this course students will be introduced to key concepts and basic skills for talking about and transcribing the sounds of the English language.The course deals with phonetic and phonological topics such as the anatomy, physiology and acoustics of speech, the transcription of English, the relationship between spelling and speech, syllable structure, word stress, prosodic features and paralinguistic features. Attention will also be paid to differences between British English and American English and the special problems Austrian learners have regarding the pronunciation of English (individual sounds, intonation patterns etc.).Ab 3. Semester; Voraussetzung: Introduction to Language and Linguistics.

Herdina Mo 17.00-18.30/40810PS 2: Language Change

English has undergone a number of language changes leading to a redefinition of standard English and the development of a number of distinct and distinctive varieties. We shall be looking at the specific lexical, phonetic, morphosyntactic and orthographic changes and possible sociolinguistics and/or psycholinguistic causes of these changes. Language policy issues also provide an object of interest in so far as these can be shown to affect language change.Reading: Jean Aitchison: Language Change.Ab 3. Semester; Voraussetzung: Introduction to Language and Linguistics; anrechenbar als “PS Linguistics and Culture” für Diplomstudium und Lehr-amtsstudium.

Heuberger Mi 9.30-11.00/40810PS 2: Trends in English Pragmatics

Pragmatics is concerned with the study of meaning in context and focuses on what people mean by their utterances rather than what the words or phrases in those utterances mean by themselves. This course is meant as an overview of this fascinating linguistic field and focuses on its most current developments. The pro-seminar aims to provide students with both the theoretical background and possible applications of pragmatics. Major components of current pragmatic inquiry – and also of this course – are: speech acts, implicature (implied meaning), deixis (extralinguistic reference), politeness, discourse structure and discourse strategies, irony and humour, euphemism, and many more. Course requirements: regular attendance, active participation, oral presentation, final paper, exam. Ab 3.

Pisek Mo 9.30-11.00/40810PS 2: Varieties of English

“Variety” is a sociolinguistic term for a distinct form of a language. A Google search for “varieties of English / English varieties” yields more than 6.000.000 results, from African-American English to Zimbabwean English. Other varieties include Legal English, Working-Class English, BBC English, Scientific English or South-Asian English. In this course we will be looking at these and other user- and use-related varieties of English, the first type being associated with particular people and places (Black English, Australian English), the second with particular functions (Legal English, Scientific English). Both users and uses of English can be distinguished according to variation in region (British English, American English), society (Chicano English, Anglo-Indian English) style (formal, informal, literary) or medium (writing, speech). We will also deal with topics like standard/non-standard usage, native/non-native varieties of English, pidgins and creoles.Requirements: active participation in class, presentation, paper.Ab 3.

Markus Do 10.30-12.00/HS 2VO 2: Selected English Varieties

Did you know that there are more than 100 states in the world where English is the native or first official language? The lecture will give a survey of the many different types of varieties of English by selecting some of the highlights. We will begin with regional varieties, in line with two main topics of the English Department (Schwerpunktgebiete), then move on to social and group varieties. Whatever the linguistic question, the cultural background will often be included in our considerations. Moreover, the different possible approaches to language varieties will be emphasised.For a good introduction I would like to recommend Tom McArthur, The English Languages. Cambridge: UP, 1998, repr. 2000, which is available in Studia (paperback). Beginning of class: 12 March 2008

Markus Mi 8.30-10.00/40205SE 2: The legacy of the past in Present-day English

29

It is a truism that languages are in a constant state of change, and that their present state has been conditioned by the past. English, due to its rich changing history, is a particularly good example. It nicely shows the internal and external factors that have had an influence on English. In a nutshell one could say that Present-day English morphology is Old English, spelling is Middle English, lexis is Middle and Modern English, and the meanings of words as well as the pragmatics of English have very much been under the influence of more recent impacts.I will select highlights of patterns that have survived from the past, with particular emphasis on the colonial and cultural heritage of both Britain and the US over the last few centuries. A list of topics for papers will be available by 19 January. Please register as early as possible and by 5 March.Beginning of class: 11 March 2009.

Markus/Heuberger Do 8.30-10.00/40205SE 2: Joseph Wright's English Dialect Dictionary: a document of English varieties and cultural history (Projektseminar)

Now being in its third year, our FWF-project on Wright’s famous dialect dictionary from ca. 1900 is well on its way. The 5000 pages of the dictionary have been digitised and are available to Innsbruck students in a fairly reliable beta-version, which allows for all kinds of questions on various aspects of English dialects and the features connected with them, both in Britain and overseas. The project participants have already presented their plans and recent results on various international conferences and are doing so this very year, e.g. at a big conference in Innsbruck this coming July. After the praise of the project both by international readers and by the members of the official assessment committee last year (Institutsevaluation), we are very positive that the project will continue to prosper, the more so since there have been a number of successful publications and initiatives of international cooperation, and several dissertations have been started. After this success story, we would like to involve committed students who are interested in innovative research work. A by-effect of our co-operation could be that you will be inspired to find a topic for your diploma thesis or dissertation. This semester we will focus on new parameters of the dictionary, such as aspects of dialect variation and word formation. This project-oriented class is acknowledged as a „normal“ seminar.If you wish to participate, just register in the secretaries’ office or on e-campus. Beginning of class: 12 March 2009.

This is a forum for the discussion of diploma and doctoral theses being written. As a rule of thumb, you should present your project (at least) twice, namely in the initial phase (arrangement) and in the final phase (report of results). The topics of the class vary of course, but to apply a scholarly, stringent and innovative method is our constant concern. Please register for the class by 5 March. Beginning: 12 March 2008.

Jessner-Schmid Do 15.30-17.00/40204 SE 2: Crosscultural Pragmatics

Pragmatics can be defined as the study of cognitive, social and cultural aspects of language and communication. In the seminar we will concentrate on a fairly new area of research in the field of pragmatics referred to as crosscultural or interlanguage pragmatics. We will start with a general introduction to the field, its relation to the field of language acquisition and move on to various aspects of crosscultural pragmatics. We will concentrate on questions such as “What is pragmatic transfer?” or “What is pragmatic competence?” and the impact that research in applied linguistics has for instructed English language learning.

Jessner-Schmid Do 10.30-12.00/40628SE 2: Psycholinguistic Perspectives of Language Learning

In this seminar we will concentrate on psycholinguistic aspects of language acquisition ranging from first, second to third language learning. Particular attention will be given to psycholinguistic perspectives of the multilingual mind, such as codeswitching. New theoretical approaches to the main questions of research in psycholinguistics will be discussed as well as methodological issues.

Foundation Literature I courses introduce students to the study of Literatures in English. We will deal with questions concerning the nature of “literature” and discuss issues of literary theory, methods of criticism, and literary genres. Foundation Literature I makes you familiar with the basic tools of literary scholarship and literary analysis that will enable you to interpret and analyse a variety of texts. The majority of literary texts selected to illustrate theoretical issues will be taken from the Core Reading List (see http://anglistik1.uibk.ac.at/ahp/gateways/literature/readinglist.html). Material for (self-study) activities and revision will be provided in class and in the form of “Blackboard” online teaching.Recommended books for self-study and revision work:Gill, Richard.

The study of Shane Meadow’s This is England will focus on contemporary socio-cultural issues and will act as an introduction to Film Studies.Prerequisites: Foundation Culture I; having read Brick Lane before the beginning of the course.Milne-Skinner Fr 13.00-14.30/40205VU 1: Foundation Culture II BDates: March 6, 13, 20, 27; April 24; May 8, 15; Test: May 29

The course offers a theoretical and methodological approach to Cultural Studies. Working from the tradition of British Cultural Studies (from Arnold, Leavis, Eliot, Orwell, Hoggart, Williams, Thompson, Hall, Sinfield, et al.), we use critical discourse analysis to deconstruct texts that focus on class, education, identity, gender, generation, ethnicity and race. The course also includes an introduction to sociological semiotics: for example, we deconstruct adverts and extracts from films.This term we are using Willy Russell's play Educating Rita (1980) as the core text. (Reclam edition readily available at Studia!) The socio-political and educational background includes the comprehensivization of secondary education, the introduction of the Open University and the women's liberation movement stemming from Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch (1970). Our reading of recent British history is informed by Cultural Materialist and New Historicist approaches.Prerequisites: Foundation Culture I and having studied Educating Rita before the course starts on March 6. A short quiz on Educating Rita will determine whether you are accepted for the course!

Pichler Di 12.00-13.30/40432PS 2: Writing Black and South Asian Britain

In the last couple of decades, in the British literary arena stress has been clearly on the transformative potential for Britain’s black, Asian and other ethnicities and diasporic identities, creating not only a new space for agency at the interstices of the nation’s borders, but a space where formerly antagonistic and polarised versions of cultural identity can be realigned and renegotiated. New webs of belonging trouble spatial fields of nation, ‘home’, ‘community’, webs the threads of which are spun between ‘here’ and ‘there’, ‘majority’ and ‘minority’, continuity and change. In this proseminar we will deal not only with black and Asian British writers who are preoccupied to some extent in their novels with writing ‘Englishness’ through black and Asian eyes, but also with others who explode the transparent geography of an Anglo-/ Black-Englishness which fails to acknowledge the opaque and hybrid colours of its mixed racial, regional and imperial past. On successful completion of the course students should be able: to show an analytical understanding of a range of texts; to organize informed and original arguments reflecting research and independent thought in the subject area of the course; to demonstrate an intelligent awareness of current debates about the social purpose and ramifications of black and Asian British texts; to co-operate as part of a group in presenting an argument in the analysis of course material.Texts:Selvon, Sam.

Marinell/Ratheiser Do 10.00-11.30/60306PS 2: Jane Austen and her (cinematic) daughtersAlthough Jane Austen only enjoyed minor fame during her lifetime (1775-1817), she was acclaimed by critics of the 20th century (F.R. Leavis, Ian Watts) as one of the greatest writers of all time. Her popularity has led not only to all of her six novels being adapted to film, but furthermore also to a greater interest in the author, Jane Austen, herself (e.g. the film Becoming Jane). Thus, in this course we intend to take Jane Austen’s life and literary output as starting points from which to explore possible reasons for the ongoing topicality of her work. We aim to do this by looking at selected novels by and referring to Jane Austen as well as the corresponding film recreations.Course requirements: active participation in class; oral presentations; final paper.Ab 3.

Cordery Di 13.00-14.30/40205PS 2: Cultural Diversity in Britain

Although we tend to speak of a British culture, most British people also identify with sub-cultures of some kind. These sub-cultures unite groups of people through some common interest or factor, such as age (youth, school, granny culture), location (regional, urban, rural), ethnicity, class, music, media, sport, collecting things etc. Many of these sub-cultures have their own rules and behavioural codes, have century-old traditions, demand a certain outer appearance and have slang or jargon of their own. Using authentic sources, including the Internet/YouTube, this course takes a closer look at some of these sub-cultures and shows how they are part of modern-day, multicultural, globalised Britain.Pre-requisite: having read Kate Fox, Watching the EnglishAb 3.

PS 2: Social Class in Britain

The British are famously obsessed with class, whether they see their country as a huge (and perhaps harmonious?) hierarchy, as a society deeply divided into (formerly) upper, middle and lower classes, or as the setting for a constant struggle between 'them' and 'us'. Class distinctions reflect reality - existence on a council estate is very different from a leisurely life in a stately home - but they are also constantly used by politicians to forge new notions of national identity. We explore issues of class from the 18th century to Thatcher, Major, Blair and Brown - and whether Britain is indeed moving towards a 'classless society', or not. Or has class simply gone underground? Issues include: education and class divide, Oxbridge and class, the BBC, the Tories and class, Labour and class, Orwell and class, the formation of the working class (cf. E.P. Thompson), among several others.Texts used include essays, novels, short stories, poems, pop songs and film. They range across: Oliver Twist, Hard Times, Culture and Anarchy, North and South, Pygmalion, Women in Love, Lady Chatterley's Lover, The Road to Wigan Pier, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, The Browning Version, Look Back in Anger, Roots, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Room at the Top, A Kestrel for a Knave, The Go-Between, The Shellseekers, Top Girls, Absurd Person Singular, Nice Work, Atonement, among other texts.Ab 3.

Zach Mi 10.30-12.30/HS 6VO 2: Ireland and Irish Literature

Ireland is known as the green ' Emerald Isle', as the country of saints and rebels, fighting and hospitality, folklore and pop, etc., but also as the country of great writers of fiction, poetry, and drama. In this series of lectures we will attempt to arrive at a better understanding of present-day Ireland by discussing the course of Irish history, culture, and literature. Particular emphasis will be put on the relationship between Britain and Ireland, the process of colonization and the fight for independence in the great Irish tradition - from the 18th century to modern times. Particular attention will be paid to the achievements of the most important Irish authors (particularly Swift and Goldsmith, Joyce, Shaw, Yeats, O'Casey, Friel, and Heaney), who have all been incorporated in the canon of literature in English. Many of the works discussed can also be found on the list for our 'Reading List Exam'.

37

A reader of texts will be provided. Also, audiovisual media will be used to illustrate the main developments in Irish history, literature, and culture and to visualize the specific features of Irish writers and their works.This course is the basis of a “Vorlesungs- und Leselistenprüfung” (2nd “Studienabschnitt”) as required in our old and new curriculum.It is also possible to take this course as a “Wahlpflichtfach” (Diplom) for the modules “Literary Studies” and “English Studies”, or as a “freies Wahlfach” (Lehramt).Erasmus students are also especially invited to take part.First session: Wednesday, March 11.Exam at the end of the summer term: June 29. Further dates of exams at the beginning, middle and end of the winter term 2009/10.

James Joyce’s works mark the beginning of the modern age, and his Dubliners shows his use of new literary techniques and new themes in a great variety of ways. This collection of short stories has Dublin and its inhabitants as its centre - but it is also centrally concerned with life in Ireland and, more generally, with people in a modern city environment.It is the most accessible of Joyce’s works and should be read by all students who want to be introduced to the probably most influential writer of fiction in the 20th century. The most important of his stories, "The Dead", which is also on our reading list, has been made into a most successful movie, filmed by the great Hollywood director John Huston. In addition to reading and analysing Joyce’s stories we will also view and compare this film with the written text version in this seminar.An edition of Dubliners will be reserved at Studia Bookshop. This text will be needed as the basis of our discussion in our seminar.Early registration for this course at our secretariate is recommended (limited number of participants !) and attendance at our first meeting on March 19 is required. Please also leave your e-mail address and telephone number at our secretariate.First meeting of participants: Thursday. March 19, 11:00, Common Room. Attendance is required.

Ramsey-Kurz Fr 9.00-10.30/HS 4VO 2: Material History of English Literature

This lecture course will focus on the material circumstances whereby the evolution of English literature has been determined. This means that we will look at the places and conditions of literary production and reception and how they have changed in the course of history. We will consider what materials and means were used to make and distribute literary texts and how they affected the actual shape of literary writings and the dramaturgy of literary events. It will be necessary to consider how the socio-political and economic situation of writers developed and by what forces it was affected most.The introduction of paper mills in England in the course of the Middle Ages, the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, the popularity of the theatre during the Renaissance, the closure of playhouses during the Civil War and their reopening with the Restoration of the monarchy, the transfer of the locus of literary activities from Hampton Court to London coffeehouses in the 18th century; the foundation of public libraries, the 1874 Education Act, and such technological developments as that of gas lighting photography and lithography, radio, film and television, or the photocopying machine will all be considered as factors affecting the success and failure of individual genres, themes and writers.What at first glance may look like a course in cultural studies will retain an emphasis on written literature, as extensive textual evidence will be taken from literary works reflecting on changes in the landscape and politics of literate culture.

39

Such works may, for instance, offer special descriptions of acts of reading and writing, use libraries, theatres and other locations of literate activity as settings, reflect on literary production as a trade or profession, and repeatedly invoke the materiality of books or other items of writing.

Ramsey-Kurz Do 17.30-19.00/40810SE 2: Postcolonial Humour

Postcolonial literature is defined by its commitment to the critical reconstruction of wrongs caused in the wake of European expansion and other imperialistic enterprises. Together with postcolonial theory it has generated a new awareness of human oppression and exploitation, of collective guilt and collective subjection, of willing and forced subordination, brutal dispossession and violent displacement, of the resultant deletion of cultures and cultural identities and the pain of recuperating these.Can a discourse so locked in the past and so preoccupied with the failures and flaws of human civilization afford any moments of laughter? And if so what kind of laughter is such a discourse able to generate by what means and to what ends? These are questions we will explore by looking at instances of postcolonial writing devoted to humorous self-assertion and retrospection. Participants are advised to read Simon Critchley, On Humour (2002) and Ania Loomba, Colonialism/Postcolonialism (2nd ed. 2006) for preparation.

In the past few years more and more students have got jobs in business schools (Handelsakademie and Handelsschule) or hotel and catering colleges (Höhere Bundeslehranstalt für wirtschaftliche Berufe) or as trainers in companies. The aim of this course is twofold: on the one hand, it gives students a general introduction into Business English and, on the other hand, it enables them to design effective lesson plans with a business content. If students wish, they can try them out in school to see the result of what they have planned and to get in touch with an environment they might be working in later on. Ideally, they would find out for themselves that teaching Business English is not so boring after all!We will have a look at a variety of topics such as written and oral business communication, business texts, meetings, negotiations and the interpretation of graphs. We will simulate business situations and discuss topical issues using the media that are available such as newspapers, magazines, CDs, DVDs and videos as well as the Internet.Students are expected to take part in the course regularly, design lesson plans with a Business English content and hand in a Business English portfolio.Elektronische Anmeldung über onlineLehrveranstaltungsverzeichnis vom 28.1.2009 (8.00) bis 18.2.2009 (12.00).

We want to learn how to create teaching modules which stimulate and motivate high school students so that they may experience this "Lust am Lernen" which PISA found so lacking amongst students. It won’t make you a perfect teacher yet, but it should put you in a position to reflect on what you are doing and what you want to achieve once you are a teacher standing in the classroom.You will develop a teaching module of your own and present it to the other participants of the proseminar.

Americans are a people much concerned with dreams, rainbows, wisdom, and happiness. The right to pursue happiness is even one of the inalienable rights of the American citizen guaranteed by the Constitution. In this seminar we will look at various texts — from the early times to the present, classical as well as popular — in which Americans express their thoughts and philosophies about what is most significant and meaningful in their lives.

New media always emerge within the context of established media practices. These intermedial negotiations also characterize the forming years of film during the modernist period. Taking recourse to the other arts, we will investigate the early tendency of film to define itself in relation to other leitmedia such as painting, literature, or the theater.The course will examine manifestations of the intermediality of early film in artistic and theoretical discourses such as tableaux vivants, film theory, film adaptations, avant-garde productions, film posters, trailers, and opening sequences.Part of the course entails the attendance of an international conference on "Blending Media: Defining Film during the Modernist Period" organized by the

Empire: Projection and Deconstruction of the Western Myth in Literature and FilmHeller A.

SE240204

610.008Mi 15.30-17.00

The Westward Expansion of the American Empire to the Pacific has triggered off a gigantic response in historiography, literature and popular culture. It reaches from the early exploration reports, personal journals, diaries and letters of pioneers, missionaries, settlers, and prospectors, as well as popular narratives, to the more recent critical interpretations of historians, artists, writers and filmmakers. In particular, the "revisionist" texts and films of the last two decades have investigated the strange blend of triumphant voices and an undercurrent of disillusionment and defeat and have arrived at a new, more complex understanding. The final goal of the course will be to find out how the US of today and their inner political and social divisions relate to their collective Western experience.Requirements: Reading texts and viewing films; participation in teamwork and class discusssion, an 18-page paper in English and a 3-page handout; presentation of the paper in class (ca. 20 minutes), also in cooperation with colleagues; two tutorial appointments with the course leader.Literature: The seminar will have four work groups, each concentrating on one particular focal point: 1) the conquest of wild nature, 2) Native Americans, 3) frontier violence, and 4) the female experience. Specific primary and secondary texts and films will be provided. For preparatory reading the following text collection is recommended: Clyde A.

In continuation of last semester’s emphasis on the transition from silent to sound cinema, this semester’s course will focus on the cinema of the 1940s and 1950s. The class incorporates a practical dimension dealing with technical features of film, such as lighting, camera, and editing. This will guide students in the production of their own short films that will be screened at the end of the term.Requirements: Lecture, texts and film clips, individual and group discussion, group production of short films, active participation, written final exam, short written assignment.Literature: Recommended introductory reading: Nelmes, Jill.

FWF-Projekt Framing Media: The Periphery of Fiction and Film (1919-1936)Projektleiter: A. Univ.-Prof. Mario Klarer, M.A.

Funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) this research project will employ a doctoral and a postdoctoral researcher as well as a technical assistant for the tenure of three years (2008-2010). The project contributes to a new literary and media history of the Modernist period, concentrating on the novel and the film as the two major competing narrative leitmedia between 1919 and 1936, which in the history of both narrative film and literary fiction is characterized by a multiplicity of media exchanges. On the one hand, the period marks the time from the late silent era to the coming of sound film. On the other hand, this interwar period generated in modernist fiction a productive interest in cinematic interrelations, ranging from Hollywood fiction to the simulation of cinematic devices. Revisiting this fecund period of filmic-literary exchanges this project sets out to explore hidden cultural dynamics in modernist interrelations between literary fiction and narrative film. Unlike other literary or media histories of the period, the project’s frame-analytical approach privileges the periphery of works of art. The project focuses on media exchanges in peripheral framings of novels such as publishers' advertisements, book covers, prefaces and meta-commentaries at the beginning of the main texts,

60

as well as liminal framings of fiction films such as film posters, opening and closing credits, and sequences. It analyzes these framings as historical and culture-specific signposts that illuminate the respective positions and functions of literary and filmic narratives in the social and media landscape during the period of Modernism. As an interface between work of art and audience, framings - like archaeological sites - preserve the socio-representational climate of a particular historical period. A history of framings in Modernism makes a substantial contribution to an integrative history of literature and film, combining narratology, reception aesthetics, word-and-image studies, and advertising with the larger socio-economic dimensions of this period.

Auf unserer Homepage findest Du alle wichtigen Informationen von Studierenden für Studierende: Termine, Informationen, die aktuellen Prüfungstermine, Ankündigungen, etc. Es lohnt sich, von Zeit zu Zeit reinzuschauen! Manchmal brauchen wir allerdings etwas länger um die Page zu warten – Sorry! Deshalb ist die Anschlagtafel im 3. Stock oft aktueller!

Anschlagtafel: Im Gang am Weg zum Coffeeroom im 3. Stock befindet sich die Anschlagtafel der Studienvertretung (mit unseren Mail-Adressen), wo aktuelle Informationen und Hinweise ausgehängt werden. Meist ist die Anschlagtafel am aktuellsten, am besten Ihr schaut 1x / Woche vorbei.

HörerInnenversammlung (bei uns meistens mit Frühstück): Informationsveranstaltung für Studierende der AA mit aktuellen Informationen zum Studium und zu den Instituten – mit viel Platz für Diskussionen und das Einbringen Eurer Anliegen und Ideen. Der Termin der HörerInnenversammlung(en) wird rechtzeitig durch Plakate und auf der Homepage bekanntgegeben.

Coffeeroom (Common Room): Der Coffeeroom (im 3. Stock, Zimmer 40332) ist grundsätzlich der Aufenthaltsraum für Studierende der Anglistik und der Amerikastudien. Es ist der ideale Ort zum Diskutieren, Kaffeetrinken, Reden, Lesen, Lernen, etc. und sollte von Euch genutzt werden. Wir bitten Euch aber auch, den eigenen Müll wieder wegzuräumen und den Raum sauber zu halten! Seit einiger Zeit gilt dort auch ein allgemeines Rauchverbot!Im Coffeeroom finden generell auch die Veranstaltungen der Studienvertretung statt. Jeden Mittwoch um 12.30 ist im Coffeeroom das "LunchTimeCinema", wo Filme in englischer Originalfassung gezeigt werden. Das Programm dafür ist über das Institut für Amerikastudien erhältlich.

Kinoabend im Coffeeroom: Gemeinsam mit einigen Studierenden versuchen wir einige Male im Monat einen Kinoabend im CR zu organisieren, bei dem alle Interessierten herzlich eingeladen sind.

Englisch-Stammtisch: Gemeinsam mit einigen Studierenden versuchen wir einige Male im Monat einen Stammtisch in einem Gasthaus zu organisieren, der offen für alle Interessierten ist

Erstsemestrigen- und Studienberatung: Ende Februar und Anfang März gibt es die Möglichkeit, sich bei uns individuell zum Studium beraten zu lassen. Die genauen Termine werden im Februar ausgehängt, bzw. sind auf unserer Homepage zu finden.

WICHTIG - Umstellung auf neue Curricula an unserer FakultätAb WS 2009/10 gelten sowohl auf der Ebene des Diplomstudiums der Anglistik und Amerikanistik, das aufgelassen wird und durch das Bachelorstudium AA (und das Masterstudium AA) ersetzt wird als auch auf der Ebene des Doktoratsstudiums neue Studienvorschriften. Alle Studierenden, die nach den derzeit gültigen Studienvorschriften abschließen wollen, insbesondere auch jene, die ihr Studium unterbrochen haben,

MÜSSEN IM SS 2009 INSKRIBIEREN.

Sonst fallen sie ausnahmslos unter die neuen Studienvorschriften – das bedeutet automatische Unterstellung unter das neue Bachelorstudium. Studierende, die derzeit mit Erasmus oder aus anderen Gründen, nicht in Innsbruck studieren, müssen die Fortsetzung des Studiums melden (d.h. inskribieren).

JEDE UNTERBRECHUNG DES STUDIUMS NACH DEM SS 2009 FÜHRT EBENFALLS ZUR UNTERSTELLUNG UNTER DIE NEUEN CURRICULA.

Diplomstudierende im 2. Studienabschnitt, die nach den derzeit geltenden Studienvorschriften das Doktoratsstudium beginnen wollen, müssen das Diplomstudium so abschließen, dass sie spätestens AM 30. APRIL 2009 für das Doktoratsstudium inskribiert sind.

IM FALLE VON FRAGEN BITTEN WIR UM KONTAKTAUFNAHME MIT DER STUDIENABTEILUNG ODER DEM PRÜFUNGSREFERAT.

Persönliche Beratung erfolgt auch über die Studienvertretung der Anglistik und Amerikanistik, durch die Studienbeauftragten, sowie an den Instituten.
