Mapping the 21st Century: Culture, Identity, Conflict

The goal of this course is to look in detail at three key areas of transition where the tension between globalisation and localisation is at its strongest. These are: culture, identity and conflict–giving it an alternative name: CIC.

In the Culture unit we will look at how this complex world is reflected in global (popular) culture and its cultural products, ranging from film, music, TV shows to food.

The Identity component will address the following questions: Who and what defines and constructs identity? What kinds of identity are there? Starting with the personal we will explore the idea of identity in the 21st century, by looking among other things at education and upbringing; migration; media; surgery; fashion; identity theft and the “new” Bundeswehr.

The unit Conflict focuses on three controversial developments which will impact considerably on the nature of warfare in the 21st century: the rapid increase in numbers of robot soldiers, private soldiers and child soldiers.

War in Words

In this course we focus on how war is depicted in fictional and non-fictional media and therefore involves the use of a lot of visual, audio and print media input. We start by developing which themes are explored in the media and then analyze how that depiction varies from war to war and how our „consumption“ of such media affects how we then approach war.

Nicht-MODULKURSE

English for Academic Purposes

This course is for graduate students who are planning to pursue their studies at an English speaking university.

The course addresses some of the difficulties in academic writing encountered by advanced users of English in all disciplines. Its main purpose is to identify problem areas in style and grammar, in the organization of ideas, and in the articulation of the author´s point of view.

English for Leadership

In today´s increasingly globalised academic and business world, we need more than just good English skills. In fact, English is hardly considered a foreign language at all, but instead the world´s global language. We are expected to give presentations, negotiate and write in English.

In addition, in dealing with international academic and business partners, etiquette and intercultural awareness are equally important, whether queuing for the buffet, chairing a meeting or negotiating.

The modules bridge the gap between theory and practice–between education and real life. They prepare managers and leaders for senior positions. They prepare students for management and leadership positions. In the world´s global language.
