Course description

The academic model of the BA English Studies program at Leipzig is rooted in the structure of the new European philologies. This model thrives on the interaction and cooperation of its core areas: literary studies, cultural studies, linguistics, and language practice. In Leipzig, English literary studies cover the history of English-language literatures (excluding the USA) from medieval times to the present. This includes texts like "Beowulf" and contemporary literatures from former Commonwealth countries. The program emphasizes a dynamic communication of the literary canon and delves into intercultural issues in literature, such as stereotypes, ethnic/religious/social differences, and orientalism. These themes are explored in travel literature and the representation of non-European cultures in British literature. The curriculum also includes popular literature, fantasy, children's literature, and media forms like books, films, and the internet. Interdisciplinary approaches are common, linking literature with religion and science, and fostering close collaboration with cultural studies. British Cultural Studies at Leipzig examines cultural processes in British and Irish societies and their representations in art and media. It focuses on a broad concept of text, encompassing films, social media, print media, music, advertising, and fashion. This discipline scrutinizes the mechanisms of everyday
