In an interview, writer Octavia Butler described the process of creating her novel The Parable of the Sower in the following
way: “[The idea] is to look at where we are now, what we are doing now, and to consider where some or our current behaviors
and unattended problems might take us.” This course will explore fiction that is often labeled “science fiction” and/but that
examines a world which is still recognizably linked to our contemporary world and located on planet earth. We will discuss
questions of genre and aesthetics as well as the political implications of the literary works. This class will take place online,
with a predominantly asynchronous format (with weekly or biweekly video lectures and reading assignments posted regularly).
However, we will meet via zoom during class time several times during the semester, so please make sure that you are
generally available for a zoom meeting during class time (Fridays,12:15-13:45).

Situated at the intersection of Holocaust Studies and Memory Studies, this course examines how Holocaust memory circulates
across national and cultural borders. How do memories of the Holocaust interact or compete with those of other historical
traumas such as African slavery and the genocide of Indigenous peoples? Why did the Holocaust serve as a catalyst to the
emergence of memory studies in the late 20th century and to more recent transnational and transcultural directions in the
field? How might we decolonize Holocaust studies? This class is a block seminar that is taught online over the course of 4
Mondays in May (May 3, 10, 17 and 31). The format will combine synchronous and asynchronous teaching. The synchronous
parts will generally take place during the afternoon session from 16:15-17:45. Please ensure that you are available for zoom
meetings during this time.

Caribbean novelists and poets such as Michelle Cliff, Maryse Condé, Caryl Phillips, and Derek Walcott explore connections
between Jewish and African diasporic experiences of persecution and displacement. Why does Jewishness emerge as a key
reference point for some Caribbean writers? How do two Jewish historical traumas in particular, the Iberian expulsion and
the Holocaust, figure in the literature of Caribbean decolonization? How do Caribbean writers approach the vexed question
of the relationship of Jews to transatlantic slavery? This class will be taught online, with a combination of synchronous and
asynchronous formats. Please ensure that you are generally available for zoom sessions during class time. Class begins on

This class explores the relationship between memory, migration, and aesthetic representation. We will consider the role of
literature and art in recording, shaping, producing, and circulating transnational and diasporic memories. How do diasporic
writers and artists intervene in memory culture and reframe our understanding of the past? How do they negotiate between
personal or familial memory and official memory? Among the genres we will address are memoir, graphic memoir, historical
fiction, photographic portraiture, and landscape art. This class will be taught online, with a combination of synchronous and
asynchronous formats. Please ensure that you are generally available for zoom sessions during class time. Class begins on
April 22.

In this course, we will be looking at theories of intertextuality to see a text as a ‘mosaic of quotations’ (Kristeva) and learn what
lies behind a term that is frequently used in literary criticism. To build up our theoretical understanding of intertextuality, we will
be consulting Kristeva, Barthes, Bakhtin and Foucault and to explore this idea further, we will be reading the following novels:
• Virginia Woolf: Mrs Dalloway
• Michael Cunningham: The Hours
• Gertrude Stein: The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas
• Monique Truong: The Book of Salt
With the exception of Stein, students are required to buy their own copies of these novels. Further readings will be made
available via Moodle.
This online course will be based on asynchronous learning, but it will include a few synchronous elements during course
hours. The dates for these Zoom sessions will be:
• 13.04.
• 04.05.
• 18.05.
• 08.06.
• 22.06.
• 13.07.

This course sets out to chart and analyse fundamental changes in cultural production in the global South over the last 50
years. Its starting point is the observation that especially in the urban semi-peripheries across the planet, access to global
flows of technologies, media and goods, and corresponding everyday as well as artistic cultural practices overwhelmingly
happen by sidetracking Western notions of authorship and intellectual property. In this course, we will read a number of
representive essay which may help us to better understand `postcolonial piracy`, and its reverberations for global modernity.

Readings will be taken from Eckstein and Schwarz (eds.), Postcolonial Piracy (Bloomsbury, open access).

Postcolonialism and geography are intimately connected. This refers not only to the mapping of “blank” spaces or colonial
city planning, but still has repercussions today. This seminar is designed to give you a broad overview of the entanglement
of geography and postcolonialism by discussing how this manifests itself in knowledge production, popular culture, tourism
or in the ways politics are played out in specific places. Our material will include mainly maps, paintings and texts and we will
develop a deeper understanding of how these are implicated in different ways of seeing the world.

The state-of-the-nation novel is a name given to a specifically British type of political prose narrative, modelled on a certain
strand of Victorian novels – most notably, works by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell and Anthony Trollope – and generally
featuring a complex constellation of various characters in an urban setting, typically conveying a modern sense of alienation
and moral confusion. While one might dismiss this traditional approach to probing into the structure of feeling of a nation at
a specific time (including its political elites and the larger society) as somewhat dated and overcome, the state-of-the-nation
novel has had a recent revival with the so-called Brexit Fiction associated with writers like Jonathan Coe, Anthony Cartwright,
Ali Smith and Amanda Craig. This course will look at the state-of-the-nation novel in various historical contexts, paying special
attention to its most recent figuration after the Brexit referendum. A general question will be how this national approach to
literature writing can nonetheless be understood as a kind of world literature engaging with the effects of globalisation.

T he earth, the planet, the globe: does it matter what name we give to the world (already a fourth term!) we inhabit? Over
the past twenty years or so, the awareness of living for better or worse in a globally interconnected world has intensified
and become ubiquitous. Yet while globalization around the turn of the millennium seemed to promise the emergence of
a borderless world-wide cosmopolis, today’s geopolitics is busy erecting new walls and militarizing old borders across
the fault lines of poverty, race, citizenship and religion. The only phenomena that are still global seem to be transnational
finance capital and the universal risks of climate change, melting pole caps, large-scale deforestation, rising sea levels and
pandemics. Bleak prospects indeed that call for rigorous critique that may, hopefully, generate some alternate perspectives. In
our seminar we will read and discuss a number of critical and creative, theoretical and artistic interventions that contribute to
the ongoing construction of ‘the world’ – as planet, as globe, as earth, as …
We will read theoretical and activist texts by writers like Bruce Robbins, Rob Nixon, Gayatri Spivak, Naomi Klein, Hito Steyerl
and Pheng Cheah, among others. Our literary corpus will include a story collection (Rana Dasgupta, Tokyo Cancelled ), a
novel (Mohsin Hamid, Exit West ), and a piece of performance poetry (Kay Tempest, Let Them Eat Chaos ).

"Panafrican Cartographies: Regional Imaginations in Postcolonial African Literature"
This course is interested in the alternative imaginations of space, time and belonging Panafrican cultural actors (political
leaders, intellectuals, writers, musicians) have produced in response to the official and conceptual boundaries inherited from
colonialism, such as the divisions between Anglophone and Francophone, North and Sub-Saharan Africa. This line of inquiry
responds to the call by leading Africanist scholars like Mahmood Mamdani and Achille Mbembe, to rethink the very form
emancipatory political communities might take on the African continent and its diasporas.
The argument behind this critical orientation is that the conceptual framework in which the process of decolonisation has been
thought about thus far – by and large defined by the political map drawn at the Berlin Conference in 1884-85 and the model
of the modern nation-state – is deeply intertwined with the perpetuation of neocolonial political and economic asymmetries
and extreme forms of violence. African cultural production from the 1950s until contemporary times constitutes a particularly
productive archive from which alternatives to this dominant cartography emerge.
T his course employs an inclusive conception of literature which allows for the consideration of visual artistic, written, audio
and institutional practices. In addition to engaging with cartography as an object of analysis, students will also be introduced to
mapmaking as a quintessentially interdisciplinary method that combines scientific and artistic ways of knowing.
Classes will take place online, with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous elements.
The synchronous elements will take place during the announced dates on Friday, 10:15-11:45

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and
grading. How does contemporary music sound art challenge us to listen differently? How does it make us rethink musical
conventions and habits of listening? Is there a potential for resistance and social critique in sound, and how is it manifested?
This course deals with a range of contemporary musical productions and sonic artworks to address current questions of sonic
agency, sociality and world-making in postcolonial Europe. We will read postcolonial & decolonial theories on music and
sound art and we will also engage with practice-based sonic research methods. The seminar will be held online with a mixed
format of synchronous and asynchronous elements.

They are closely connected with questions identity, identification and self-identification that are discussed in the context of
racial, gender ethnic and class stereotypes. The literature of major US ethnic groups (African Americans, Native Americans,
Hispanics/Latinos, Jewish American, Americans of Slavic descent and Asian Americans) will be studied to explore the issues

In an interview, writer Octavia Butler described the process of creating her novel The Parable of the Sower in the following
way: “[The idea] is to look at where we are now, what we are doing now, and to consider where some or our current behaviors
and unattended problems might take us.” This course will explore fiction that is often labeled “science fiction” and/but that
examines a world which is still recognizably linked to our contemporary world and located on planet earth. We will discuss
questions of genre and aesthetics as well as the political implications of the literary works. This class will take place online,
with a predominantly asynchronous format (with weekly or biweekly video lectures and reading assignments posted regularly).
However, we will meet via zoom during class time several times during the semester, so please make sure that you are
generally available for a zoom meeting during class time (Fridays,12:15-13:45).

Situated at the intersection of Holocaust Studies and Memory Studies, this course examines how Holocaust memory circulates
across national and cultural borders. How do memories of the Holocaust interact or compete with those of other historical
traumas such as African slavery and the genocide of Indigenous peoples? Why did the Holocaust serve as a catalyst to the
emergence of memory studies in the late 20th century and to more recent transnational and transcultural directions in the
field? How might we decolonize Holocaust studies? This class is a block seminar that is taught online over the course of 4
Mondays in May (May 3, 10, 17 and 31). The format will combine synchronous and asynchronous teaching. The synchronous
parts will generally take place during the afternoon session from 16:15-17:45. Please ensure that you are available for zoom

Caribbean novelists and poets such as Michelle Cliff, Maryse Condé, Caryl Phillips, and Derek Walcott explore connections
between Jewish and African diasporic experiences of persecution and displacement. Why does Jewishness emerge as a key
reference point for some Caribbean writers? How do two Jewish historical traumas in particular, the Iberian expulsion and
the Holocaust, figure in the literature of Caribbean decolonization? How do Caribbean writers approach the vexed question
of the relationship of Jews to transatlantic slavery? This class will be taught online, with a combination of synchronous and

This class explores the relationship between memory, migration, and aesthetic representation. We will consider the role of
literature and art in recording, shaping, producing, and circulating transnational and diasporic memories. How do diasporic
writers and artists intervene in memory culture and reframe our understanding of the past? How do they negotiate between
personal or familial memory and official memory? Among the genres we will address are memoir, graphic memoir, historical
fiction, photographic portraiture, and landscape art. This class will be taught online, with a combination of synchronous and
asynchronous formats. Please ensure that you are generally available for zoom sessions during class time. Class begins on

In this course, we will be looking at theories of intertextuality to see a text as a ‘mosaic of quotations’ (Kristeva) and learn what
lies behind a term that is frequently used in literary criticism. To build up our theoretical understanding of intertextuality, we will
be consulting Kristeva, Barthes, Bakhtin and Foucault and to explore this idea further, we will be reading the following novels:
• Virginia Woolf: Mrs Dalloway
• Michael Cunningham: The Hours
• Gertrude Stein: The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas
• Monique Truong: The Book of Salt
With the exception of Stein, students are required to buy their own copies of these novels. Further readings will be made
available via Moodle.
This online course will be based on asynchronous learning, but it will include a few synchronous elements during course
hours. The dates for these Zoom sessions will be:
• 13.04.

This course sets out to chart and analyse fundamental changes in cultural production in the global South over the last 50
years. Its starting point is the observation that especially in the urban semi-peripheries across the planet, access to global
flows of technologies, media and goods, and corresponding everyday as well as artistic cultural practices overwhelmingly
happen by sidetracking Western notions of authorship and intellectual property. In this course, we will read a number of
representive essay which may help us to better understand `postcolonial piracy`, and its reverberations for global modernity.

Postcolonialism and geography are intimately connected. This refers not only to the mapping of “blank” spaces or colonial
city planning, but still has repercussions today. This seminar is designed to give you a broad overview of the entanglement
of geography and postcolonialism by discussing how this manifests itself in knowledge production, popular culture, tourism
or in the ways politics are played out in specific places. Our material will include mainly maps, paintings and texts and we will
develop a deeper understanding of how these are implicated in different ways of seeing the world.

Kommentar
Travel writing is a specific literary genre with a long history back to antiquity. Travel has been undertaken for political, religious,
educational and commercial, but lately also for leisure reasons. A common travel proverb says: ‘The world is a book, and
those who do not travel, read only a page.’ This alludes to the textuality of `the world` that needs reading/deciphering. And it
leads us the awareness that travel links to aspects of status, means and privilege, to knowledge and authority.
In this context, the course will focus on relationships between power and knowledge, the authority of eyewitness and the
discursive situatedness of the traveller/reader in travel writing and will contemplate them as part of (gendered) representations
of the British Empire since the 18th century.
This course will be a hybrid online seminar with synchronous and asynchronous phases. The online session with life meetings
in a forthnightly rhythm. This will require you (!) to be online for a Zoom meeting during course times every 2 weeks! You
should therefore make sure that you reserve the regular seminar slot for this course.

The state-of-the-nation novel is a name given to a specifically British type of political prose narrative, modelled on a certain
strand of Victorian novels – most notably, works by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell and Anthony Trollope – and generally
featuring a complex constellation of various characters in an urban setting, typically conveying a modern sense of alienation
and moral confusion. While one might dismiss this traditional approach to probing into the structure of feeling of a nation at
a specific time (including its political elites and the larger society) as somewhat dated and overcome, the state-of-the-nation
novel has had a recent revival with the so-called Brexit Fiction associated with writers like Jonathan Coe, Anthony Cartwright,
Ali Smith and Amanda Craig. This course will look at the state-of-the-nation novel in various historical contexts, paying special
attention to its most recent figuration after the Brexit referendum. A general question will be how this national approach to
literature writing can nonetheless be understood as a kind of world literature engaging with the effects of globalisation.

T he earth, the planet, the globe: does it matter what name we give to the world (already a fourth term!) we inhabit? Over
the past twenty years or so, the awareness of living for better or worse in a globally interconnected world has intensified
and become ubiquitous. Yet while globalization around the turn of the millennium seemed to promise the emergence of
a borderless world-wide cosmopolis, today’s geopolitics is busy erecting new walls and militarizing old borders across
the fault lines of poverty, race, citizenship and religion. The only phenomena that are still global seem to be transnational
finance capital and the universal risks of climate change, melting pole caps, large-scale deforestation, rising sea levels and
pandemics. Bleak prospects indeed that call for rigorous critique that may, hopefully, generate some alternate perspectives. In
our seminar we will read and discuss a number of critical and creative, theoretical and artistic interventions that contribute to
the ongoing construction of ‘the world’ – as planet, as globe, as earth, as …
We will read theoretical and activist texts by writers like Bruce Robbins, Rob Nixon, Gayatri Spivak, Naomi Klein, Hito Steyerl
and Pheng Cheah, among others. Our literary corpus will include a story collection (Rana Dasgupta, Tokyo Cancelled ), a
novel (Mohsin Hamid, Exit West ), and a piece of performance poetry (Kay Tempest, Let Them Eat Chaos ).

›Digitale Literaturwissenschaft‹ lässt sich als Oberbegriff für eine Menge von Fragestellungen und Analysetechniken
begreifen, die entweder einen besonderen Fokus auf die Transformation des Gegenstandes durch die Digitalisierung (z.B.
digitale Literatur: Hypertext, Blogs, algorithmische Texte) legt oder eigene digitale Methoden der Erforschung, Erschließung
und Exploration einsetzt (z.B. Stylometrics, Topic Modeling, Network Analysis). Im Seminar werden wir uns v.a. auf die zweite,
methodische Dimension der Digitalen Literaturwissenschaft konzentrieren und uns im Zuge dessen auch einen Überblick
über das Feld der Digital Humanities erarbeiten. Das Seminar ist als erste Annäherung an die Digitale Literaturwissenschaft
angelegt. Es führt ein in: a) grundlegende theoretische Aspekte der Arbeit mit digitalen, insbesondere quantitativen Methoden
in der Literaturwissenschaft b) in die praktische Anwendung von digitalen, insbesondere quantitativen Methoden auf
literarische Texte in deutscher und englischer Sprache c) in Techniken des digitalen, projekt- und teambasierten Arbeitens
in interdisziplinären Teams. Dabei erarbeitet das Seminar d) auch Grundlagen für eine kritische Diskussion der Potenziale
und Grenzen digitaler Forschungsmethoden der Literaturwissenschaft. Im Rahmen des Seminars sollen dabei grundlegende
Kompetenzen aus dem Feld der Digital Literacy für Literaturwissenschaftler*innen vermittelt, reflektiert und diskutiert werden.
Das Seminar setzt zwangsläufig eine gewisse Affinität zur Arbeit mit Computern voraus. Dringend empfohlen wird die
begleitende Teilnahme am praxisorientierten Seminar »Kulturdaten – Datenkulturen«, das sich der Erprobung und der
vertieften Anwendung der im Seminar »Einführung in die digitale Literaturwissenschaft« thematisierten Methoden widmet.
Das Seminar wird durchgeführt im Rahmen des BMBF-Projekts »Forschen | Lernen – Digital« (FoLD) English version: ‘Digital
literary studies’ can be understood as a rather generic term for a number of research questions and techniques of analysis
that either focus on the transformation of its subject through the processes and means of digitization (e.g. digital literature:
hypertext, blogs, algorithmic texts) or employ their own digital methods of research, development and exploration (e.g.
stylometrics, topic modelling, network analysis). In this seminar we will concentrate on the second strand –the methodological
dimension of Digital Literary Studies– and will work to gain an overview of the field of the Digital Humanities. The seminar is
designed as a first approach to digital literary studies. It introduces: a) fundamental theoretical aspects of working with digital
–especially quantitative– methods in literary studies b) the practical application of digital, especially quantitative methods to
literary texts in German and English c) techniques of digital, project-based work in interdisciplinary teams. In this context, the
seminar will d) also develop the foundations for a critical discussion of the potentials and limits of digital research methods in
literary studies. Thereby, the seminar will teach, reflect and discuss basic competences in the field of digital literacy for literary
scholars. The seminar inevitably requires a certain affinity for working with computers. It is strongly recommended to attend
the adjacent seminar: "Kulturdaten – Datenkulturen. Ein literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Hackathon", which is dedicated
to the testing and in-depth application of the methods discussed in the seminar "Introduction to Digital Literary Studies". This
seminar is part of the BMBF project ”Forschen | Lernen Digital” (FoLD) Please note: As this seminar is a cooperation with the
Department of German Studies Prof. Dr. Peer Trilcke (Germanistik). Teaching language will be German.

Die rasant fortschreitende Digitalisierung unserer Kultur schafft Daten über Daten über Daten: Archive, Bibliotheken, Museen
und andere Einrichtungen, dazu unzählige Initiativen, NGOs, Einzelpersonen erzeugen eine immer reichere Kulturdatenwelt.
Während sich damit auf der einen Seite neue und drängende Fragen – etwa zu Eigentum, Identität, Zugang – stellen,
bergen diese Kulturdaten auch die Möglichkeit für neue Wege der kreativen und innovativen Bereitstellung, Verarbeitung,
Vermittlung, Verhandlung und Erforschung von Kultur. Um all die neuen digitalen Kulturdaten herum entstehen eben auch
neue Datenkulturen: wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, kreative, aktivistische und viele mehr.
In diesem Seminar möchten wir mit Ihnen gemeinsam – aus einer kultur- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive heraus –
nach Wegen des Umgangs mit Kulturdaten und nach zeitgenössischen Datenkulturen fragen. Das Ganze ist ein Experiment,
das Ihre kreativen Energien freisetzen will: Was wollten Sie – wissenschaftlich-kreativ, gestalterisch-forschend, künstlerisch-
analysierend – schon immer mal mit Kulturdaten machen? Was sind Ihre Ideen von einer zukünftigen Datenkultur? Welche
Fragen haben Sie, als Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaftler*innen, angesichts der allgemeinen Datafizierung unserer Kultur?
Welche Rolle spielt Datenkultur in der Perspektive globaler Gerechtigkeit und der Aneignung und Herausgabe von Wissen?
Das Seminar wird im Schwerpunkt aus einer zweitägigen (virtuellen) Blockveranstaltung bestehen: dem Hackathon. Das
Hackathon-Format verstehen wir dabei im weiteren Sinne, also keineswegs allein auf die Arbeit mit Programmcode (das
›Hacken‹) beschränkt (wobei das auch eine Rolle spielen kann: besuchen Sie z.B. gern begleitend die ›Einführung in die
digitale Literaturwissenschaft‹). Vielmehr verstehen wir den Hackathon als ein offenes und schöpferisches Bildungs- und
Veranstaltungsformat, in dem wir in Teams, also kollaborativ, gemeinsame Fragen diskutieren, Lösungen entwickeln, Ideen
verwirklichen.
Unseren Hackathon werden wir im Seminar in zwei Phasen vorbereiten. In einer ersten Phase zu Beginn des Semesters
werden wir Ihnen Impulse zu Fragen, Zielstellungen, Daten, aber auch zu digitalen Arbeitstechniken geben. Was ist ein
Hackathon? Wie nimmt man an einem Hackathon teil? Wie lässt sich das Hackathon-Format als ein kreatives Erkenntnis-
Event gestalten?
An diese erste, einführende Phase, in der wir mit Ihnen eine Idee vom Potenzial eines Hackathons entwickeln, schließt sich
im Mai, eine zweite Phase an, in der wir in Teams zusammenfinden und gemeinsam kleine Projekte entwickeln, die wir in
unseren Teams im Hackathon bearbeiten wollen: Sie möchten einen Wiki-Sprint zu Ihrer Lieblingsautor*in initiieren und den
bisher so spärlichen Wikipedia-Artikel fundiert anreichern? Sie fragen sich schon seit Langem, wie man eigentlich literarische
Kultur überzeugend auf Instagram repräsentieren kann – und wollen also ein kleines Social Media-Projekt starten? Sie wollten
immer schon mal schauen, welche Quellen zur frühen Frauenbewegung es im Internet gibt – und wie man diesen Quellen
mehr Präsenz verschaffen könnte? Sie haben schon seit langem Ideen, wie Wissen globaler oder außereuropäischer Kulturen
sinnvoll digital repräsentiert werden kann? Sie wollen digitale Wege erkunden um andere, kreative und inklusive Zugänge zu
Bildung zu ermöglichen?Sie hatten letztens bereits die Idee, dass es doch einmal reizvoll sein könnte, literarische Figuren auf
Twitter zu inszenieren?
Wenn Sie sich manchmal solche – oder auch all die mehr oder weniger ähnlichen – Fragen zur Datenkultur und zu
Kulturdaten stellen, dann kommen Sie zu uns ins Seminar. In unserem Hackathon wollen wir, mit Ihnen, an genau diesen
Fragen arbeiten.
Das Seminar wird durchgeführt im Rahmen des BMBF-Projekts »Forschen | Lernen – Digital« (FoLD).

The rapid digitization of culture is creating data upon data. In archives, libraries, museums and other institutions, in addition
to countless initiatives, such as NGOs a diverse array of actors is generating an ever richer world of cultural data. While this
raises new and pressing questions - about ownership, identity, access to name but a few- cultural data also opens novel
ways of creatively providing, processing, communicating, negotiating, and exploring culture itself. In a way, the rise of cultural
data gives way to new ”data cultures” that are emerging around scientific, artistic, creative, activist and entirely new digital
practices.
In this seminar we would like to explore ways of dealing with cultural data and contemporary data cultures from a cultural and
literary studies perspective. Our mission is an experiment that wants to unleash your creative energies: What did you always
want to do with cultural data - academically, scientifically, creatively, artistically? What is your vision concerning a future data
culture? What questions do you, as cultural and literary scholars, have in mind about the general datafication of our culture?
What is the role of data culture from the perspective of global justice and the appropriation and/or publication of knowledge?
The major part of this seminar will take place on a two-day (virtual) block event: the hackathon. We understand the concept
of hackathon in a broader sense, i.e. as by no means limited to working with program code (the 'hacking') alone (although
this may also play a role: feel free to attend the 'Introduction to Digital Literary Studies', for example). Rather, we plan this
hackathon as an open and creative educational event, in which we discuss common questions, develop solutions, realize
ideas in teams and collaboratively cook up engagement and hands-on intellectual products.
We will prepare our seminar-hackathon in two phases. In a first phase at the beginning of the semester, we will provide brief
impulses on questions, objectives, data, but also on digital working techniques. What is a hackathon? How do you participate
in a hackathon? How can the format of the hackathon be designed as a creative and insightful event?
In this first, introductory phase, we want to explore the potentials of hackathons. During the second phase in May we get
together in teams and develop small projects to work on during the hackathon: would you like to start a Wiki-Sprint about
your favorite author or expand insufficient Wikipedia articles? Have you been wondering about how we can represent literary
culture on Instagram - or do you want to start your own small social media-project? You've always wanted to see what sources
on the early women's movement exist on the Internet - and how to give those sources more publicity? Do you ask yourself
how knowledge of global or non-European cultures can be meaningfully represented in the digital realm? Would you like to 20
