American Dream
AMERICAN DREAM, COURSE DESCRIPTION
The frontier heritage of The United States of America arguably gave rise to a unique set of national norms and values which are often considered collectively under the heading: “the American Dream”.
This course presents students with a brief historical outline of the rise (and fall?) of “the American Dream”. It offers an overview of how this national mythos has developed since the beginning of European settlement until the ascent of the US to a modern nation and a superpower. However, the course also problematizes overly positive notions of the American Dream as a safeguard of liberty and equality for all.
During the course, students engage with texts of fiction and non-fiction as well as films which explore the idea of “The American Dream” from different angles. They obtain a topical vocabulary which includes the following terms and phrases:
- The American Dream
- equality
- liberty
- individualism
- the ‘can-do-spirit’
- social mobility
- patriotism.

Love
Love
In this short course the students will touch upon various theories of love by working on the article "What is love? Five theories on the greatest emotion of all" (The Guardian, 2012) which explores various scientific and philosophical perspectives on love, highlighting its complexity. Kim Addonizio's poem "Forms of Love" (2010) illustrates love's diverse manifestations, emphasizing its multifaceted nature. Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Long Walk to Forever" (1960) depicts love as unexpected and transformative, showing how it can challenge life choices and emerge in moments of vulnerability while Roger McGough's poem "40-Love" (1974) uses a tennis match metaphor to portray love as a balance of competition and cooperation, requiring ongoing effort. Finally Macklemore's song "Same Love" (2012) advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, presenting love as universal and inclusive, transcending societal norms. Together, these works offer students a rich understanding of love's varied forms and profound impact on human relationships and society.

Guns and Babies (EXAM)

Relationships - (exam)
Relationships - eksamen
The theme focuses on minimalism and dirty realism. Hemingway´s short story Hills Like White Elephants is analyzed with a focus on dialogue and subtext, just as Raymond Carver's story Tell The Women We're Going is used as an example of a short story with minimal information about what the characters do and what they say - thereby involving the reader in reading between the lines. We touch upon the "Roaring Twenties" and focus on the strong women in this period opposed to the "he-man" in Hemingsway's writings. Looking at Carver we focus on the essentials of Dirty Realism and its characteristics.
"The Roaring Twenties"
"Ernest Hemingway's style"
"Cat in the Rain" Ernest Hemingway
"Hills Like White Elephants" Ernest Hemingway
"The Sea Change" Ernest Hemingway
"A Few definitions of Dirty Realism"
"Neighbors" Raymond Carver
"Tell the Women We're Going" Raymond Carver
"Why Don't you Dance" Raymond Carver

Lingua Franca/Global English (Exam)
Course descriptions:
English today is a global lingua franca (ELF) that brings very large populations of people together, enabling them to communicate with each other for a variety of purposes. Having one global lingua franca in such unprecedented dimensions certainly brings the need to approach the topic critically, including its origin, status and ownership issues. This course aims to provide students with an overview of the varieties of English as a lingua franca. In particular, how it is used in the areas of India, Australia, as the dominant language in the EU and in speeches by non-native speakers as presented by Greta Thunberg.
