Comment/Description

This seminar introduces students to anglophone cultural theory that turns to water as a primary object of study (including oceans, lakes, rivers, and wetlands) and tries to think with/through/from liquid epistemologies. By studying key theoretical texts and case studies, students will familiarize themselves with influential theories and key concepts that, e.g., question the centering of dry land over wet environments, human over non-human perspectives, and the individual over interrelation. Exemplary cultural analyses of primary objects, such as film, literature, and art, will complement the study of theory and help students advance their skills in cultural analysis.
The class is open to M.A. E-SC students studying the Extension Module 1 and 2. International exchange students and students doing ‘Freiwillige Zusatzleistungen,’ general studies, or ‘Ersatzleistungen’ as well as students from the Master TnL (Profil- or Vertiefungsmodul) may also be admitted. Prior enrolment via Stud.IP is mandatory and admission is limited to a maximum of thirty-five students. Please check Stud.IP regularly for updates.
