What is a shitstorm? Why do they happen and what can be done about them?

Titel 11 Minimalism

This theme will focus on the minimalist fiction of Hemingway, Charles Bukowski, Raymond Carver and Ann Beattie. We will look at the circumstances in which minimalism appeared on the scene of world literature and how it has been expressed through four writers over a period of several decades. The course will include a definition of minimalism and connect it to the modernist ethos of "making it new". The parts of the theme focusing on Bukowski (and partially Hemingway) will analyze the transgressive nature of their writing and how it breaks down the regular barriers of polite society.

Key texts: "Son of Satan" by Charles Bukowski", "Indian Camp" and "Cat in the Rain" by Ernest Hemingway, "Neighbours", "They are Not Your Husband" and "One More Thing" by Raymond Chandler. "Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk (extract + movie), "Snow" by Ann Beattie

Titel 14 A Passion for Football

Med udgangspunkt i sportsgrenen fodbold arbejdes der med temaer såsom fællesskab, tilhørsforhold og samhørighed. Begrebet Hooliganisme undersøges og der skelnes mellem den hooliganisme, der impulsivt opstår på stadion og hooliganisme i form af de såkaldte "firms", hvor der er tale om organiseret vold ofte uafhængigt af fodboldresultateter. Forløbet kommer også ind på konsekvenserne af hooliganisme og afsøger hvorvidt hooliganisme-begrebet kan tilknyttes en specifik sociaklasse eller ej.

I forløbet arbejdes med forskelligartet engelsksproget materiale i genrene, novelle, essay, film og fakta-ark.

Metodisk arbejdes der især i dybden med filmanalyse, hvor der indledningsvist arbejdes med filmen som tekst med særlig fokus på personkarakteristik, personlig udvikling og relationer. Dernæst fokuseres på den strukturelle analyse, hvor eleverne møder 'The Hollywood Model' og benytter den til identifikation af væsentlige scener, som herefter analyseres shot-by-shot ved brug af en filmteknisk analyse.

Undervejs i forløbet stifter eleverne selv bekendtskab med hvad det betyder, at engagere sig i et team med slagsange, farver og særlige navne, da de som firms afholder en bordfodboldturnering.

Undervejs i forløbet indgår også en skriftlig opgave, hvor eleverne, med baggrund i deres viden om Hooliganisme diskuterer 'Whether the hooligan is a romantic rebel who fights for the colours of his club or just a thug'.

Titel 15 Victorian Victims

Take a trip back to the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London! We will focus on the horrors and imaginings of the late 19th century: Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper and more. Why did this prim and proper era invent ficitonal heroes and horrors that resonate to this day? A key concept is “duality’ in Victorian culture and literature.

Key texts: "A Scandal in Bohemia" by Arthurt Conan Doyle, "The Signal Man" by Charles Dickens, lyrics from the musical version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde",  "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde, various historical documents about the Victorian era.
