Any discussion about Australian identity is inextricably linked with the topic of multiculturalism. Australian social and cultural life has been shaped by various waves of immigration throughout its history and very prominently in the wake of its post-war immigration program. We will discuss, amongst other things, the concept of multiculturalism, the evolution of Australian multiculturalism and cultural diversity, immigration and citizenship, racial and religious tolerance and inclusion/exclusion. Moreover, we will trace the development of Australian English, examining various of its linguistic influences.
The course will rely on classwork, texts to be prepared for each session and short presentations as well as a small written assignment for a Teilnahmenachweis. The requirement for a Leistungsnachweis is a term paper.
Working material will be made available. |
