Course description
Understanding a country means delving into its history, culture, politics, and society. The United States of America, despite its relative youth, has significantly influenced global affairs. The interdisciplinary degree program in American Studies, taught entirely in English, offers a comprehensive exploration of this influence. This program merges literary and cultural studies, focusing on the language and culture of the USA, an economic, military, and global powerhouse. You will study the country's history, current politics, and societal dynamics. Key topics include traditions, values, and political and religious movements such as #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter. You will also investigate the differences between America's self-perception and how it is viewed by others. This includes comparing American and European notions and discourses. The program aims to provide a deep understanding of the USA's role in the world, fostering a nuanced perspective on its global impact.
