In accordance with the themes of Module IV, this cultural studies seminar shall investigate the significance of African American English (AAE) in American society. While certain unique linguistics features of AAE shall be briefly examined, the focus of this course shall be upon the use of AAE in literature and media and the political, social and religious issues surrounding this use. We shall draw heavily on contemporary medias, such as film, television and music in order to better understand the role of AAE in specifically American discourses. Please pick up the short reader from the copy shop (Kopiersysteme Ewald Priebe, Segerothstr. 81) a week before the first session. |
