| 10-SPA-BA-C2a/C2b-1 | Feminicidio y violencia de g¨¦nero en literatura y cine (II) En este seminario analizaremos varias novelas hispanoamericanas y una pel¨ªcula que tratan desde distintos puntos de vista de femi(ni)cidios y una miniserie espa?ola (…) En este seminario analizaremos varias novelas hispanoamericanas y una pel¨ªcula que tratan desde distintos puntos de vista de femi(ni)cidios y una miniserie espa?ola basada en la violencia de g¨¦nero. En muchos textos sobre femicidios destaca la falta de eficiencia de los organismos estatales y la consiguiente impunidad de los perpetradores, que es un motivo recurrente. En varias ficciones, los miembros de las autoridades estatales est¨¢n involucrados en negocios sucios que se vinculan con los femicidios, como, por ejemplo, la prostituci¨®n forzada. De ah¨ª que haya que analizar asimismo el contexto, como la pobreza y precariedad, el narcotr¨¢fico, la situaci¨®n jur¨ªdica y la violencia sist¨¦mica que, seg¨²n ?i?ek (2009), destaca en las instituciones, la pol¨ªtica, la econom¨ªa y en las relaciones ¨ªntimas. La sensibilizaci¨®n sobre la violencia de g¨¦nero distingue los textos literarios coet¨¢neos de casos narrados de feminicidios en textos m¨¢s antiguos y tiene que ver con la oleada de protestas del movimiento de mujeres en Latinoam¨¦rica a partir de 2015 y con el movimiento Me Too que surgi¨® en 2017 y tuvo repercusi¨®n internacional.
En la realidad extraliteraria, la mayor¨ªa de los victimarios son aparentemente inofensivos, buenos padres de familia, vecinos simp¨¢ticos. Veremos c¨®mo se representan los asesinos y agresores en los textos del corpus del seminario. Otro enfoque del an¨¢lisis concierne las estrategias narrativas. Al concederle la voz y el protagonismo al asesino se corre el peligro de convertirlo en h¨¦roe y de identificarse con ¨¦l, pero las novelas "Lila" (2018), de Gonzalo Unamuno, y "No me ignores", de Nicol¨¢s Poblete, asumen este riesgo. Sergio Olgu¨ªn presenta en "Las extranjeras" un femicriminal neopolicial en el cual una periodista investiga un femicidio de dos turistas con las cuales hab¨ªa estado en contacto ¨ªntimo. "La sombra del otro", de Alicia Plante, impone la pregunta si podemos calificar un suicidio inducido como femicidio. Y la pel¨ªcula LA CIVIL ahonda en la desaparici¨®n de una chica mexicana y la consiguiente b¨²squeda de su madre, que debe enfrentarse con las autoridades impasibles, los esbirros crueles y sus c¨®mplices que se encuentran hasta entre sus mejores amigos.
El m¨®dulo requiere una constante participaci¨®n activa, una ponencia oral y un trabajo escrito por parte de todos los/todas las estudiantes. Para obtener los cr¨¦ditos, los estudiantes del BA + MEd + Vertiefungsmodul TnL tienen que presentar una ponencia en clase y elaborarla despu¨¦s por escrito en espa?ol (12 p¨¢ginas/ 25.000 caracteres). Los estudiantes del M¨¢ster Romanistik International y del M¨¢ster TnL deben entregar un trabajo escrito algo m¨¢s largo (15 p¨¢ginas). Por ¨²ltimo, los estudiantes del m¨®dulo 7 S del M¨¢ster Romanistik deben aprobar, adem¨¢s de la presentaci¨®n oral y el trabajo escrito, un examen oral de media hora sobre el corpus del seminario. La fecha l¨ªmite de entrega del trabajo escrito es el 31 de marzo de 2026.
El programa detallado est¨¢ colocado en Stud IP y se presentar¨¢ en la primera sesi¨®n del curso. Los/las participantes deber¨¢n inscr¨ªbirse previamente en Stud IP. Recomiendo comprar los siguientes t¨ªtulos en forma impresa o digital y familiarizarse antes del comienzo del curso con ellos.

Gr?ce au pr¨¦fixe anthropo- qui renvoie ¨¤ ? ¨ºtre humain ?, il entend ainsi mettre en lumi¨¨re l¡¯activit¨¦ humaine et ses cons¨¦quences sur la plan¨¨te et ses ¨¦cosyst¨¨mes. Si le terme est aujourd¡¯hui familier, cela est d?, d¡¯apr¨¨s les chercheurs Bonneuil et Fressoz, ¨¤ ce que ? [l]¡¯anthropoc¨¨ne est un ¨¦v¨¦nement, un point de bifurcation dans l¡¯histoire de la Terre, de la vie et des humains. Il bouleverse nos repr¨¦sentations du monde ? (Bonneuil/Fressoz 2016 : 33). Lors de ce s¨¦minaire, nous nous pencherons ainsi sur le concept d¡¯anthropoc¨¨ne pour ensuite d¨¦celer ses articulations litt¨¦raires dans la litt¨¦rature de l¡¯extr¨ºme-contemporain du Qu¨¦bec (qu¨¦b¨¦coise et innue). Nos analyses seront structur¨¦es autour de trois p?les : d¨¦noncer (par l¡¯¨¦cocritique, les dynamiques extractivistes et capitalistes) ; imaginer (avec les cli-fi, et les r¨¦ponses au changement climatique) ; repenser (notre relation ¨¤ l¡¯environnement, par et avec la litt¨¦rature). Nous lirons notamment des extraits de Kukum de Michel Jean (2021), Sauvagines (2019) et Bivouac (2021) de Gabrielle Filteau-Chiba, Le fil du vivant d¡¯Elsa P¨¦pin (2023) et Les ressources naturelles de Christiane Vadnais (2025), ainsi que Blanc r¨¦sine d¡¯Audr¨¦e Wilhelmy (2019) et Mes for¨ºts d¡¯H¨¦l¨¨ne Dorion (2023) (s¨¦lection provisoire, amen¨¦e ¨¤ changer). Le cours se d¨¦roulera en fran?ais. Pour une introduction et une pr¨¦-exploration, je recommande vivement la s¨¦rie de capsules vid¨¦o produite par l'AIEQ : Voyage en litt¨¦rature qu¨¦b¨¦coise ainsi que les balados de la Maison de la litt¨¦rature ¨¤ Qu¨¦bec : Le Salon.

| 10-M80-3-SpecMo-06 | Negotiating User Identities Under Techno-Plutocratic Structures (in englischer Sprache) This MA-level seminar is located on the nexus of literary, cultural, and media studies and tries to understand the effects of technologized societies on (i) political (…) This MA-level seminar is located on the nexus of literary, cultural, and media studies and tries to understand the effects of technologized societies on (i) political governance and (ii) shaping user identities. Departing from the assumption that our societies are increasingly embedded under techno-plutocratic structures, i.e. layered systems of violent control in which our freedom to freely inhabit the Earth and use the planet¡¯s resources is constantly usurped by a privileged elite or powerful individuals who possess both immense wealth and a monopoly on technology, the seminar attempts to complicate the identity of the user. Understanding users as dynamic and multi-dimensional agents existing on a continuum of experts and lay-persons who are themselves embedded in techno-plutocratic structures, the seminar will explore how users take on and perform different roles that either reinforce or challenge techno-plutocratic structures. This seminar is planned to be an interactive and research intensive seminar where students will work on specific case studies/small projects to answer several questions posed by the seminar. Examples of questions that the seminar will explore include: how does literature and film depict techno-plutocratic structures? How do social media platforms participate in reinforcing or challenging techno-plutocratic structures? How do users on social media platforms inhabit and/or negotiate different identities or roles that resist or affirm techno-plutocratic structures? How is violence exercised in techno-plutocratic structures? What role does AI play in the techno-plutoctratic turn? How do we historicize and contextualize techno-plutocratic structures? How do billionaires leverage wealth, hubris, and technological expertise to capture the state? How does the extraction of resources (for eg water, energy, land, minerals) feature under techno-plutocratic structures? How do existing forms of oppression such as settler colonialism and patriarchy metamorphize under techno-plutocratic structures and how are they resisted? How are notions of love and kindness expressed under techno-plutocracy? How do different users and speculative fiction envision alternative futures to techno-plutocratic societies? Note that this seminar has a heavy reading load and in addition to reading the mandatory literary texts and watching the assigned film, we will also have weekly readings of theoretical texts and other secondary sources. We will also work with social media data and other forms of data as required. First day of class is on 21.10.2025. Please consult Handout_01 to see the list of literary texts_film that you will be required to read/watch for this seminar. Handout_01 is available for download here: http://unihb.eu/LWg1C6Ga I strongly advise that you acquire the assigned novels before the Winter semester commences. An email containing further information and a tentative syllabus for this seminar will be circulated before first day of class. You will be expected to complete your assignments (graded or ungraded) according to the requirements of your specific module. If you are already enrolled in this seminar and no longer wish to participate please cancel your participation so that your spot can be offered to someone else. If you have questions pertaining to the seminar that cannot wait until the start of the Winter semester you can email me at nyanguluprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de Termine und weitere Informationen finden Sie in Stud.IP. | Dr. Deborah Nyangulu |
| 10-E76-3-FaMo-02 | This class will be conducted within the research area Blue Humanities. Blue Humanities studies oceans, rivers, and coastal areas in terms of (colonial) histories, (…) This class will be conducted within the research area Blue Humanities. Blue Humanities studies oceans, rivers, and coastal areas in terms of (colonial) histories, migration and travel, sustainability and ecological issues, circulation of people and ideas, marine and Indigenous knowledges, literature and cultures, new geographies, extractivism, energy and economic issues, among others.
After discussing ocean literacy in general and the sustainable development goals of the UN on water, we will read theoretical texts on ocean literacy. We will also watch documentaries and invite experts on ocean knowledge to class. We will read and discuss a short text from the collection The Imperiled Ocean: Human Stories from a Changing Sea by Laura Trethewey and the The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. The idea is that in class we develop materials on ocean literacy together. Hemingway¡¯s text will be ready for purchase at the university bookstore at the beginning of the semester (10,50€; pls purchase the Pengion edition, should you want to acquire it yourself). Other primary and secondary texts will be uploaded on StudIP. Pls note that regular attendance, class preparation and active class discussion are mandatory. You must register on StudIP for this class and be willing to work in a team to prepare and carry out an ocean literacy project you could later use in school.
