Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial muchos criminales nazis escaparon para evitar ser juzgados por los tribunales internacionales a través de las llamadas líneas de ratas a América del Sur, donde ya existían organizaciones exteriores del NSDAP. A la vez hubo una emigración masiva de refugiados judíos a Sudamérica, y es una ironía de la historia que los sobrevivientes acabaran a veces en el mismo lugar que sus perpetradores nazis.
Desde el nuevo milenio puede observarse un verdadero 'boom del nazismo' en las literaturas y el cine del Cono Sur. En este seminario analizamos varias novelas, unos cuentos, una novela gráfica, un documental y dos largometrajes para reconstruir distintos modos de apropiación del nazismo y comparar distintas formas de representarlo discursivamente.
El programa detallado se presenta en la primera sesión. Todos los participantes deben presentar una ponencia en el seminario. Para obtener los créditos, los estudiantes tienen que presentar una ponencia y elaborarla por escrito (BA + MEd: 10-12 pp. en español, TnL: 12-14 pp. en español). Los estudiantes del TnL tienen que encargarse además de la moderación de una sesión y preparar para la primera sesión el estudio Uki (2006): Odessa. Die wahre Geschichte. Fluchthilfe für NS-Kriegsverbrecher (2006) de Uki Goñi que se encuentra en el aparato en la UB.
La fecha de entrega del trabajo escrito es el 31.8.21
Les ruego inscribirse previamente en Stud IP, imprimir el programa y llevarlo a la primera sesión.

Online course in the summer term 2021 – Due to the COVID 19 pandemic we will meet in weekly ZOOM sessions. Crime Fiction is overwhelmingly popular and yet, much of the narrative literature that involves crime of some kind or another is often not regarded as ‘literature’ at all. This course is designed to familiarise students with the contemporary critical and theoretical arguments concerning popular fiction and genre studies, as well as to enable all participants of this course to relate to the genre’s wider social, historical and political contexts while discussing the individual narratives in terms of form, language and imagery. Seeking to promote an analytical, creative and imaginative engagement with the complexities of literary and cultural discourses, we will focus on excerpts of both detective- or transgressor-centred narratives from the second half of the 20th Century onwards. These narratives include examples of the police novel (e.g. Ian Rankin); of female detectives and the feminist appropriations of the hard-boiled story (e.g. Sara Paretsky); of the psychothriller (e.g. Patricia Highsmith), of Afro-American crime fiction, here the examination of literary representations and other cultural manifestations of the Black Diaspora, discussing the relevance of this form of genre fiction to the Black experience of American Life (e.g. Walter Mosley), of Indigenous crime fiction (e.g. Thomas King), of the postmodern mystery (e.g. Paul Auster), and of representations of disability in crime fiction (e.g. Jeffrey Deaver’s Lincoln Rhyme series).

In this seminar, students get an introduction to the history of English, i.e. Old English, Middle English and Early Modern English. The course combines synchronous and asynchronous elements. In the second half of the seminar, we will study the major varieties of British and North American English as well as other world varieties with a focus on their structural and phonological features. We will follow the debates about English as a cause of language death, and talk about the place of English in language policies and language planning.

Digitale Medien erhalten heutzutage Einzug in alle Lebensbereiche – nicht zuletzt auch in den Fremdsprachenunterricht. Die Frage, ob und inwieweit sich der Fremdsprachenunterricht im Rah-men der Digitalisierung verändert, wird daher im Zentrum des Seminars stehen. Die Studierenden sollen befähigt werden, digitale Medien, vor allem Webtools und Apps, sach- und fachgerecht in einen kompetenzorientierten Spanischunterricht zu integrieren. Insbesondere vor dem Hinter-grund, dass nun alle Bremer Schüler*innen über ein eigenes iPad verfügen, wird hierauf ein be-sonderes Augenmerk gelegt.
Um dies zu erreichen, wird aus wissenschaftlich-theoretischer Sicht die fremdsprachenspezifische Medienkompetenz definiert sowie der Umgang mit bereits bestehenden Angeboten an digitalen Medien geschult. Darauf aufbauend werden gemeinsame konkrete didaktisch-methodische Kon-zepte für deren Einbindung in den kompetenzorientierten Fremdsprachenunterricht mit dem iPad entwickelt. Die Studierenden bauen dadurch nicht nur ihre eigene fachspezifische Medienkompe-tenz aus, sondern werden in diesem Rahmen auch angeregt, ihr eigenes Handeln zu reflektieren.
Literatur und Seminarverlauf werden in der ersten Sitzung besprochen.
