Area Studies I (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Heike Stellmann
Termin:
wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 08:15 - 09:45 | 14.10.2013 - 31.01.2014 | C 16.222 Seminarraum
Inhalt: “British Cultural Identities“ and “The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour” Is there such a thing as “Britishness” or “Englishness”? Based on the books by Mike Storry/Peter Childs and Kate Fox respectively, we will analyse contemporary British identities: How do British people position themselves and how are they positioned by their culture? We will set out to identify the commonalities in rules governing English behavior – as Fox defines them: “the unofficial codes of conduct that cut across class, age, sex, region, sub-culture and other social boundaries”. Thus, it should later be easier to critically analyse given textbooks and other teaching material and beware our future pupils to “put their feet in it” once they get in touch with British people. Apart from studying the books, we will look at other media like newspaper articles, poems, films, school textbooks, etc. You will find the books in the Seminarapparat in the Bibliothek. Here is the reference, in case you would like to buy your own copy: Mike Storry/Peter Childs (eds). British Cultural Identities. 4th edition. Oxon: Routledge, 2013. ISBN 978-0-415-68076-9 Kate Fox.

Students will gain experience analyzing and thinking critically about the impact that tradition, culture, and the media have on communication, human behaviour, and society.
