LV-Beschreibung

Intendierte Lernergebnisse

After successfully completing this course, students will

  • have a basic understanding of major issues, themes, and discourses of American cultural history
  • be familiar with basic meanings of race, class, and gender in a U.S. context
  • have a sense of the breadth and diversity of (ethnic) voices that shape the United States

Lehrmethodik

Lecture; occasionally short in-class discussions of selected material; final exam.

The course is designed as in-person lecture and will take place on campus (including the final exam). Any changes that may become necessary due to the ongoing pandemic situation will be announced by the instructor.

There will be a tutorial for further discussion of the topics covered in the lecture.

Inhalt/e

The lecture introduces students to major issues, themes, and discourses of American cultural history, as well as to some of the key concepts academic scholarship brings to analyzing this history. Instead of covering American history in a strictly chronological fashion, the course aims to convey a basic understanding of U.S. culture and society through four interconnected thematic units: race, class, gender, nature. Understood as broad lenses, these will help us explore the transformative meanings of major events in American history and the roles of democracy, republicanism, religion, immigration, and urbanization in American society. The lecture will turn to a broad range of media and topics including cinema, television, sports, and music, and will place particular emphasis on the diversity of (ethnic) voices shaping the nation from its troubled birth to the twenty-first century.

Literatur

All relevant literature will be made available via Moodle on a weekly basis.
