Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Students on this course will explore the many connections between language and power in different contexts, e.g. in the home, in institutions, in the media, in politics, even in fiction. This will include analysis of language itself (how is power encoded in language), but also of language use (how is language used to control people). Each class will involve discussion of specific texts (written, spoken or multi-modal), different methods of analysis, and underlying theories.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Class and e-learning participation; presentations; coursework assignments (in groups and individually).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

At the end of the course, students should:
- Understand some of the ways in which power is manifested through language and be able to identify these when analyzing texts
- Be familiar with key theoretical concepts and relevant methodologies relating to language and power
- Have read and discussed various studies in the subject area

Prüfungsstoff

A typical class will consist of a short introduction to a topic by the lecturer, followed by small-group discussions of texts students have been asked to read in advance. Most classes will also include some practical tasks (e.g. text analysis) followed by group discussion. Students will be expected to prepare for each class, and may be asked to give a brief presentation about something they have read or about a task they have completed.

Literatur

Key texts for discussion will be made available in the library for students to photocopy. A detailed week-by-week supplementary reading list will be made available at the beginning of the course. Students will also be asked to (re-)read the novel 1984 by George Orwell. An accessible introduction to many of the topics the course will cover is available in the English and American Studies Library:
Thomas, Linda and Wareing, Shân (eds).1999. Language, Society and Power: An introduction. London: Routledge
