Course material for Anglo-American Area Studies and Anglo-American Cultural Studies

All students are required to have access to all the following books and DVDs and to have read the relevant pages and chapters or watched the relevant scenes before their first consultation session.  One copy of each item is available in the material reserved under my name (Semesterapparat) in the university library.

You can download this page in pdf for your convenience. You can also access a partly annotated updated bibliography here as a pdf file, which includes other more specialized sources than those below, many of which students have chosen for past state exams, and is a continuation of the bibliography in the course book  required for the lecture and for all seminars, Anglo-American Cultural Studies, chapters of which you can download from the UTB Mehr Wissen website.

Each student in the Introduction to Anglo-American Studies lecture (M3.1) should own the course book Anglo-American Cultural Studies. Each group in the Anglo-American Studies seminars in Modules 3 and 6 should have very easy access to all the books with titles in bold print and marked with an *asterisk*. Ambitious students who want to do well in the seminars will choose the content for their topic lessons from as much of the material on this page as possible.
