Beskrivelse af de enkelte undervisningsforløb (1 skema for hvert forløb)
Titel 1 Young Citizens of the World (Grundforløb)

Globalisation is now recognised as a key factor influencing the lives of young people. In many western countries, globalisation has a strong impact at social, economic and cultural levels.

These changes are also often linked to the ambiguity about identity and sense of place in the world.

Young people are most directly affected by globalisation and therefore central to current debates on identity. They experience globalisation on an everyday basis through employment patterns, the friendship groups they develop, their usage of the internet and wider cultural influences on their lifestyles.

Inspired by that, all the texts we have chosen for this course are thematically linked to the relationship between identity, culture and place.

Titel 6 Dark Tales and Horror

Fokus:
Through a study of texts, video game and film made with the intention of scaring and thrilling their readers/audience, we have tried to figure out what it is that attracts us to these dark tales and when a text or film should be labelled as 'horror'. The theoretic foundation has been Zvetan Todorov's definition of the fantastic, and also the horror writer Stephen King's own definitions have been studied. In addition, the class has worked with how to analyse video games, gaming devices and associated vocabulary.

Primærtekster:

Titel 10 Views on War

This course examines how war is communicated through media and literature. When wars are fought today, they take place not only on the battlefield, but also through the internet, newspapers, and television, as well as through film, literature, and art. There-fore,
war becomes a battle for control over the narratives and our collective memory.
   In this course, we will explore both fictional and non-fictional texts and examine what perceptions of war the texts express. We will examine the short stories in Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, clips from the Hollywood production Pearl Harbor, and a few chapters from the action-packed memoir of a Navy SEAL solider, No Easy Day. The texts will prompt us to discuss how language and narrative shape our understanding of the conflicts.
  The course will also introduce discourse analysis as a tool to examine how ‘war’ is verbalized in politically. Ideology, power and language are deeply intertwined, and through their discourse politicians actively attempt to shape our understanding of the world – for better or worse.

Tekster:
- Tim O’Brien: The Things They Carried (1991), Værklæsning
- Mark Owen: No Easy Day (2012), excerpts
- George W. Bush: “Presidential Address to the Nation, October 7, 2001”
- Duncan Campbell: “Top Gun versus Sergeant Bilko?”, The Guardian, 29 Aug. 2001

Titel 11 Dark Tales & Horror (revisited)

Opsamling på 2.g-forløbet ”Dark Tales and Horror”
Drawing upon theoretical frameworks of Sigmund Freud’s concept of ‘the uncanny’ and Tzvetan Todorov’s concept of ‘the fantastic’, this course delves deeper into the historical lineage, from the eerie dread of the Gothic to the visceral scares of modern horror. Freud teaches us that ‘das unheimliche’ uncovers what ‘ought to have remained secret’ and that is linked with ‘the return of the repressed’. Todorov shows us how the characters (and readers) who only know the laws of nature hesitate when confronted with an apparently supernatural event. Moreover, we will examine the typical settings of gothic fiction and the recurring themes of fear, madness, and hesitation. Through analysing narrative techniques and cinematic approaches, we will uncover how suspense and terror are crafted.

Titel 12 African American Voices (revisited)

Opsamling på 2.g-forløbet “African American Voices”
“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happi-ness” (The Declaration of Independence, 1776)
    When the United States of America was founded in the 1700s, slaves from Africa were used by the settlers to work the land. In 1804 most of the Northern states of America banned slavery, however, the Southern continued to practise slavery in the farming industries. This division of America eventually led to the American Civil War, and as a result of the war President Abraham Lincoln abolished in 1865 in America
    Slavery had ended, but segregation had not. It was not until the 1950s and 1960s that things began to change. Martin Luther King, Jr. began to rally for equal rights for blacks, and he led many African Americans on marches to protest the way they were treated. It was during this time he held his famous speech “I have a dream”. He was killed in 1968, but four years earlier he convinced the government to allow black Americans to vote in the presidential elections. However, it took many more decades to get rid of all the racist laws.
    African Americans now have all the same rights as European Americans and other Americans, but racism still causes debates and riots in the United States of America. This is what we will examine by reading different types of texts thematising African American Experience in relation to inequality, The American Dream, identity and freedom.

Titel 13 Shakespeare's Othello

It is indeed at tragic and fascinating story: Due to Iago's evil schemes, the black mili-tary general, Othello, becomes blinded by jealousy and ends up killing his beloved wife, Desdemona. But it is Shakespeare's way of creating literary characters and sus-penseful dialogues that makes Othello an indispensable classic.
The course explores themes such as jealousy, manipulation, race, and the destructive power of love. Through the analysis of selected scenes, we will examine Shakespeare's language and dramatic devices. The course focuses on the genre characteristics of tragedy and close textual analysis. The aim is to understand Othello as a timeless drama about human weakness. For the exam, you are to place an excerpt from Othello within the plot and analyse the text using relevant literary terminology.

Titel 14 Dystopia (revisited)

Opsamling på 2.g-forløbet ”Dystopia”
This course explores dystopian worlds in literature and film. We will analyse the char-acteristics of the genre and examine how authors and film directors depict future total-itarian regimes or seemingly idyllic societies permeated by technological control. Dys-topian fiction often criticises political or societal norms through a dystopian worst-case scenario, and through close reading and film analysis, we will discuss the socio-critical potentials and warnings inherent in dystopian narratives. We will look at themes such as surveillance, conformity, dehumanization, and the restriction of inde-pendent thought. The aim is to create reflection on current trends in the light of dys-topian future scenarios.

Titel 15 Australia (revisited)

Opsamling på 2.g-forløbet ”Australia”
This course examines Australia’s complex history, from its colonization by Great Brit-ain to the contemporary debate on racism. We will trace the historical roots of current racism in Australian society, and we will study the past and current debates about the ‘Stolen Generations’ – the forced removal of Aboriginal children – and the long-lasting trauma caused by these policies. We will also look at Aboriginal culture and the struggle for rights and recognition. Through various sources, we will explore both his-torical events and present-day perspectives. The aim is to create a deeper understand-ing of Australia's past and current challenges related to identity, race, and reconcilia-tion.

Forløbets kernestof dækker lærerplanens krav om ”historiske og aktuelle forhold i an-dre dele af den engelsktalende verden”.
Til eksamens forventes du at levere en grundig tekstanalyse, at kunne perspektivere til historiske og aktuelle forhold i Australien og at kunne perspektivere til pensum.
