Titel 2

2: BLM

This topic explores the struggle of blacks to gain equal rights in the US and the slogan and movement behind BLM.

The topic takes its starting point in the case of George Floyd and reactions to his death and tries to answer the question, why are blacks so angry?

We have read and analyzed speeches by Obama, Boris Johnson, Floyd's brother and Beyonce.

We have read and analysed select texts and genres (the Sun article, press photos, Phil Visher podcast ("Why are Blacks so angry" https://www.facebook.com/PhilVischer/videos/2611898429058130) and a

We have discussed various types of structural racism: slavery, red lining, Jim Crow laws, racial segregation, police brutality etc.

We have also explored how culture and popular images of black people give a very one dimensional and stereotypical version of black people & how this contributes to the notion of black people being culturally and intellectually inferior to white people.

We have worked with 2022 half time show dedicatet to Rap music and worked with music videos and lyrics by Eminem, Dr.Dree etc.

We have watched "Daniels, The Butler" (2013) to get a historic perspective on the struggle for equal rights and to see how racial profiling has played a major part in the past of black Americans.

We have worked with the case of "Aunt Gemina" and discussed the effects and implications of the BLM.

Should cultural products like "The Star Spangled Banner" for instance be replaced on the grounds that the writer was a slave owner?

Cancel culture has been touched upon.

Titel 3	3: To Clone or Not to Clone This topic has explored the modern technology of cloning and the possible ethical, social and moral dilemmas in relation to this technology. The question of identity has played a major part, as well as the possible advantages and disadvantages of this technique. The topic has covered a variety of genres that all deal with the theme of cloning in one way or the other. Postmodernism as a way of writing has also been touched upon in relation to A Number by Carol Churchill.

Titel 4	4: Divided Kingdom The topic takes its starting point in the 2024 riots and puts them into context to the current political and societal situation in England. England's history as a multicultural society and concepts such as "post factual society", "misinformation/disinformation" & the role of social media have been discussed and explored also. The riots have been put into context to the underlying divisions in British society that also led to Brexit in 2016. The class divide, the racial/ethnic divide, the geographical divide between the north and the south, the age divide and class divisions in the educational system have all been explored through a variety of texts and genres. (articles, Ted talk, "The Riot Club" (film), rap lyrics.) The polarization of British society has been put into perspective to similar trends in Europe and the US. As part of the topic class codes such as dialect/sociolect/mannerisms/lifestyle have been studied introducing the students to a variety of British accents and how students' accents and mannerisms will make them feel excluded at "Oxbridge", for instance. Work with a rap on the accident of the Gren Fell Tower in London (2017) has rounded off the topic as yet another recent example of how ethnic groups and the underpriveleged in British society feel neglected, exploited and discriminated against by politicians and others.

Endelig læser vi uddrag af Shakespeare's "Macbeth" og undersøger bl.a., hvordan temaer som 'evil and madness' kommer til udtryk i værket.

Titel 11

11: Postmodernism

I dette forløb har vi arbejdet med postmodernismen som litterær, kulturel og kunstnerisk strømning med fokus på, hvordan postmodernismen udfordrer traditionelle forståelser af identitet, sandhed, originalitet og fortælling. Eleverne har arbejdet analytisk og perspektiverende med både litteratur, kunst og kultur samt undersøgt postmodernismens udtryk i samtiden.

Forløbet omfattede både skriftligt arbejde, gruppearbejde, elevpræsentationer og en ekskursion med feltarbejde på SMK og i København, hvor eleverne identificerede og analyserede postmoderne træk i kunst, arkitektur og byrum. Derudover arbejdede eleverne med analyse og præsentation af udvalgte postmodernistiske litterære værker.

Der har været fokus på centrale postmoderne begreber og kendetegn såsom:
'fragmentation', 'metafiction', 'intertextuality', 'parody' and 'pastiche', 'irony and playfulness', 'unreliable narration', 'deconstruction of grand narratives' samt 'identity construction' and 'consumer culture'.
