Utopia vs Dystopia
During this course we read (and watch) examples of both dystopian and utopian fiction (some of it is both at the same time). With the help of relevant concepts and theory we will try to establish what constitutes utopian/dystopian fiction and whether this fiction tells us as much about the time in which it was written as it does of some dystopian or utopian future.
With The Truman Show as our basis, we also work on PEE-structured writing.
Materials:
UTOPIA AND DYSTOPIA (compendium) including the following texts:
George Orwell "1984" (1948) (extracts from Chapter 1 and Chapter 20, from "Fields of Vision")
Ray Bradbury "The Veldt" (1950)

Suburbia
OPGIVES TIL EKSAMEN
I dette forløb "angribes" det moderne forstadsliv fra forskellige vinkler. Forestillinger om det perfekte liv, normalitet og det moderne ægteskab problematiseres, med alt hvad de indebærer af kærligheds- og midtvejskriser samt generel frustration over det skræddersyede "suburban life".
Foruden filmens screenplay læses skønlitterære (postmoderne) noveller og sagprosa-tekster. Vi ser desuden det fremragende pilot-afsnit til tv-serien "Desperate Housewives".

Eng as a Global Language & Postcolonialism
OPGIVES TIL EKSAMEN
Vi fokuserer på English as a Global Language og RP (udtale og status) samt på den postkoloniale litterære bølge i de tidligere britiske kolonier. I den forstand følger forløbet op på vores tidligere forløb om The Rise and Fall of UK Then and Now. Undervejs undersøges hvad der menes med betegnelsen "postkolonialisme" og hvordan denne betegnelse kan siges at reflektere de førhen kolonialiserede nationers identitetsfølelse i dag.
Igennem læsning af såkaldt postkoloniale noveller fra tidligere britiske kolonier undersøges hvordan de postkoloniale folks identitetskamp udtrykkes i litteraturen -og det paradoksale i at denne kamp, der på mange måder er en løsrivelseskamp, må foregå på engelsk.
