• Key Topics in Linguistics: Ecolinguistics (in englischer Sprache)

  Veranstaltungsart:
  Reguläre Lehrveranstaltung zum Schnuppern

  Dr. Anke Schulz - 2nd Year Students
  
  When we look around, it seems that humans try to destroy nature, and nature tries to destroy us back. What if the way we think and speak about nature encourages its destruction? In this class, from a linguistic perspective, we want to analyse the stories we live by. We will study the representation of nature in language. Topics include climate change discourse, animals in discourse, semantic engineering and greenwashing, among others. This approach is called ecological discourse analysis (EDA).
  "One of the underlying assumptions of EDA is that highlighting the way that discourse may be inhumane or destructive will create more awareness of the role of language in dealing with the environment. This also includes the hope that discourses that are more harmonious with our natural surroundings will result in more ecologically conscious ways of dealing with the environment." Penz & Fill 2022: 237
  We will investigate several grammatical and lexical phenomena, some manually and some with the use of corpora. In the end, you will be aware of what exactly may be wrong with the ‘us versus nature’ approach, and you will be able to create better stories.

  Dr. Inke Du Bois - 1st Year students
  
  In this seminar, students get an introduction to the history of English, i.e. Old English, Middle English and Early Modern English. This class includes weekly discussions and tasks. In the second half of the seminar, we continue to study the historical events, current status of major varieties and differences of world varieties from North America, Australia to Africa and Asia 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.

• Key Topics in Cultural History: The Black Atlantic (in englischer Sprache)

  Veranstaltungsart:
  Reguläre Lehrveranstaltung zum Schnuppern

  Beschreibung:
  Dr. Paula von Gleich - 2nd Year Students
  
  The capture of millions of people on the African continent and their forced transportation across the Atlantic as well as the enslavement of generations of descendants in the so-called New World and their continued resistance to their oppression considerably shaped the development of North America and the Caribbean from the sixteenth century onwards. After abolition, the history of the Middle Passage, enslavement, and the fight for freedom and equality continued to have an effect on cultural, political, and social developments on both sides of the Atlantic. As Saidiya Hartman has argued, “the afterlife of slavery” continues to shape Black diasporic life to this day. In this seminar, students will explore the multifaceted history of what Paul Gilroy famously coined the Black Atlantic. The class will familiarize students with key cultural theories around the Black Atlantic in order to facilitate critical analyses of select cultural artefacts, such as autobiographies, poetry, visual and performance arts, film or fiction.
