Beschreibung

Modern “publics” and “counterpublics” (Warner 2002) are simultaneously the spheres of rational deliberation as well as political contestation. However, the public jostling of divergent views and competing interests in democratic societies assumes common grounds of civic interaction, or at the very least, shared senses of reality and facticity that appear to have eroded rapidly over the past many years. This course in American Studies seeks to explore this critical juncture in the current dynamics of the modern publics by exploring the relationship between digital culture and the public sphere as it has evolved in the United States.
In order to take and enjoy this class, you should be willing to read, analyze, and discuss theoretical and analytical texts. As part of your assigned work in this seminar, all the course participants would need to carefully prepare the reading(s) allotted for a session, develop points of discussion, and occasionally respond to the reading(s) via annotations on Google Docs. Our weekly, in-person meetings will be assisted by expert groups/session presenters.
Requirements for a grade (ANG-V-LK, or ANG-SI-Komp. 1 and 2; ANG-V1): All of the above and a research-based seminar paper.
Prerequisites for participation: ANG-B1/ANG-B-LK module
