EN1206 - Generalforsamlingskursus
Engelsk for fremtiden
Kursusdag og generalforsamling
10.00-10.05: Velkomst
10.05-11.00: Lars Ole Sauerberg: Beyond Print: Literature and the Closing of the Gutenberg Parenthesis.
Seen in the perspective of the far future the period between ca. 1450 and 2000 may well seem a Gutenberg Parenthesis inside which texts printed on paper and distributed in book and journal forms set the norm for the communication of information and entertainment. The pre-Gutenberg reliance on highly individualized modes of communication seems to re-apply to our present post-Gutenberg period given to the massive changes brought about by digitization and information technology. My talk will take a look at what may be consequences for literature at a time when the Gutenberg Parenthesis is in the process of closing round a culture-dominating print culture having lasted half a millennium.
11.05-12.00: Claus Schatz-Jakobsen: Engelsk i Odense – i spændingsfeltet mellem det gamle og det nye humaniora
I mit foredrag vil jeg indledningsvis give et overblik over det humanistiske landskab, inklusive de spændinger der eksisterer mellem det gamle og det nye humaniora, og dernæst beskrive og give eksempler på hvordan man på Engelsk i Odense har forsøgt at fremtidssikre Engelsk-faget i dette spændingsfelt.
12.00-13.00: frokost
13.00-13.35: Sten Pultz Moslund : Sted som inspiration til engelskundervisningen
I dette oplæg fortæller jeg lidt om den store interesse for sted, som har grebet den akademiske verden i de senere år (den "stedlige vending") og i dag udgør et af de mest banebrydende områder inden for den humanistiske forskning. Jeg vil give nogle bud på, hvordan stedsperspektiver kan bruges i læsningen/ undervisningen af engelsksproget litteratur, og hvordan en stedlig vinkel åbner for en masse spændende forløb med andre gymnasiefag - med emner som lokalitet/ globalitet, mobilitet og forankring, stedets historiske lag, det geografiske sted, kulturelle sted, sociale sted, politiske sted, sansede sted, erindrede sted, sprogets betydning for vores oplevelse af steder.....og supermodernitetens identitetsløse ikke-steder.
13.35-14.20: Rasmus Nielsen: New Advances in the Study of Language and Ethnicity: The Case of African American English
The present talk investigates new advances in the study of how language is used to construct ethnic identity. Traditional studies have focused mainly on how catch-all identity categories, such as race, class, and gender, are formed at the community level without paying much attention to how the individual either reproduces or departs from community based patterns of language variation.
In the present talk, I address some of the recent advances in the study of African American English intonation, and how language variation within one individual (intraspeaker variation) can shed light on how community boundaries are created and contested in the social world.
14.20-14.40: kaffe
14.40-15.15: Steven Breunig: Literate expertise: Professionalizing English as a Discipline of Ideas and Methods
In my presentation, I will introduce a new obligatory graduate course (²overbygningsfag²) at the Department for English Studies at SDU that is not only designed to further develop analytical skills for engaging with ideas of societal, historical and imaginative import but also to introduce students to methods from the learning sciences, theoretical and practical, for enhancing skills in text comprehension and production as well as the contextualization of texts. With this course, English is not only a liberal or general education study for acquiring knowledge of English literature, history and language, but is also an applied education: a profession in literate expertise.
15.15-15-15.50: Claus Schatz-Jakobsen: Ældre og nyere historie(r)
I dette oplæg vil jeg kort beskrive udviklingen i historiedimensionens plads i uddannelsen i Engelsk (filologi) på danske universiteter, med henblik på at give et bud på hvordan dens forhold til fagets andre dimensioner kunne udvikle sig i fremtiden. Endelig vil jeg give et konkret eksempel på hvordan historiedimensionen i Engelsk-faget kan gøres tidssvarende og spændende.
