In 1797 Robert Southey published a richly detailed account of his
journey in Spain and Portugal between December 1795 and May 1796,
from his arrival in Coruna in the northwest of the Spanish coast to
the heart of Castile and into Madrid, before making his way to
Lisbon. Structured as a series of letters written as he travelled
across the Iberian Peninsula, Letters Written During a Short
Residence in Spain and Portugal engages with the tradition of
English travelogues, while borrowing traits from other genres such
as the journal, translation, literary criticism, history, and the
picturesque guidebook. On his way, Southey comments on every aspect
of Spanish and Portuguese society, from local food and wine,
bizarre customs, literature and theatregoing, to Iberian politics
and religion. In his letters Southey, who would grow to become one
of the leading Hispanists in late Georgian England, contrasts the
political, religious, cultural and social systems of Britain and
two of the oldest nations in the European continent in a way that
raises important questions about cultural contact and transmission
during the Romantic period. This edition critically reassesses
Letters Written During a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal by
looking at Southey's deeply ambiguous cultural cosmopolitanism and
his life-long investment in all things Spanish and Portuguese.
Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject American Studies -
Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, University of Paderborn,
language: English, abstract: The African American Civil Rights
Movement of the 1950s and 1960s can be seen as one of the major
events in America's history that fundamentally changed its entire
society. In one of the most liberal countries in the world that
defeated fascism and fought against communism, people of different
ethnicity were still treated differently. While white people
enjoyed all the rights, black people were excluded from public
places, did not have the right to vote and were punished more
severely than their fellow citizens. But the African American
population stood up against these kinds of suppression and
segregation in the middle of the 20th century and fought for their
rights, especially with the help of their leading figures such as
Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Malcolm X. Even if they
could eventually achieve some of their goals such as the abolition
of segregated buses or the right to vote, their peaceful movement
was most of the times violently stopped by policemen and white
civilians. Due to this unequal fight, the blacks' demands and
sufferings captured more and more the media's attention and were
documented especially through photography. This photography had a
high impact on how the Civil Rights Movement was perceived all over
the country and, as a consequence, indirectly helped the protestors
in their plans. Interestingly enough, it is remarkable that nearly
all these printed photographs show the Movement in a way that was
unknown to people so that special emotions towards black people and
the own behaviors were evoked: empathy and guilt. This then led to
a new debate about racial discrimination and civil rights. In this
term paper I will therefore examine in more detail in which way
photojournalism supported the African American Civil Rights
Movement. I will start by giving a short overview of p
Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language
and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of
Paderborn, language: English, abstract: Families in the 19th
century mostly lived in a patriarchal society. Growing up during
this time, Mary Shelley used this society "ruled or controlled by
men" as the basis for the population of her novel Frankenstein. On
the first sight, the characters appear to fulfill their gender
roles perfectly. Women occupy the domestic sphere, men work outside
home. In addition, women are only of marginal importance whereas
men appear as the strong protagonists who are able to influence the
storyline. Even if this first overview is correct, Mary Shelley
does not maintain this severe separation of sexes and their
characteristics but proves that both women and men own some
features of the other sex. Therefore, one could state that the
women in Frankenstein have an important role as well, as, at second
sight, they share a lot of similarities with men and vice versa
which contributes to analyze the topic of androgyny. In my term
paper I will therefore concentrate on this androgyny of men and
women in Frankenstein. Being androgynous, which can be defined as
the state of "having both male and female characteristics," is an
essential element of the novel. Analyzing the male characters one
discovers that the male characteristics are important but that it
is especially the femaleness which leads to the course of the novel
and not typically male behavior. With regard to women, the
androgyny shows the beginning of emancipation and hence, women as
contemporary heroines, able to escape from a male-dominated
society. Furthermore, it is important to analyze the monster that
shows androgynous traits so that it cannot be classified as either
male or female. These features show that the monster possesses
general human qualities as it shares a lot of similarities with the
characters of the novel.
Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language
and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3,
University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: In this essay
I will focus on two single portraits of the Flemish painter and
portratist Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641). The first one portrays
Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford (1632) and the second one
Lady Anne Carr, Countess of Bedford (1638). Both paintings were
painted during the 1630's - the Caroline era - in Britain. Charles
I became the king of England in 1625 and one cansay that the first
fifteen years of reign were "remarkably peaceful" even if he
reigned without a parliament and only with the help of some
confidants inter alia Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford.
There were only conflicts in religious matters as Charles I married
a catholic woman in Protestant England which caused the first
strained relations between the two religious groups. Additionally,
the Bishop of London wanted to abolish the Presbyterian Church
constitution in Scotland and insert the Anglican Church instead.
This led to the Scot's protest and invasion of England. Finally,
all these factors unleashed an uprising and the Civil War in the
1640's. Another interesting fact is that the Court of Charles I has
been called the "last Renaissance Court in England which was]
extremely formal, imbued with an atmosphere of elegance and ...]
high morality." Additionally, there was the idea of Platonic Love
at Court which came from Italy. Its main notion was "the
transference of the Platonic pattern of divine love to a chosen
lady, who was then to be worshipped as the embodiment ] of highest
perfection." To show all the aims and meanings of van Dyck's
portraits I chose a portrait of a man and one of a woman. In both
cases I will start by noting my first impressions and then, in a
second step, analyse the portrait following a precise scheme. There
will be an analysis of the formal aspect and afterwards of
With the main goal of contributing to a wider understanding of the
presence of Spanish literature and culture in British Romanticism,
this book focuses on the instrumental role played by the British
periodical press in the Anglo-Spanish literary and cultural
exchange in the first half of the nineteenth century. All the
chapters bear witness to the contrasting and varied perception of
everything Spanish, the different strategies of exploration,
appropriation and rewriting of its cultural and literary tradition.
Besides, they all reveal the intricate web of cultural, political
and religious factors tinging the discourse of British Romantic
literary critics and authors on the Spanish cultural capital.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Kinder
und Jugend, Note: 1,7, Universitat Paderborn, Sprache: Deutsch,
Abstract: In dem Seminar Berufliche Sozialisation" wurde nicht nur
die Sozialisation im Beruf analysiert, sondern auch die
Sozialiastion fur den Beruf. Dabei spielt die Schule als
Sozisalisationinstanz eine bedeutende Rolle, da Kinder und
Jugendliche immer mehr Zeit dort verbringen und die Schule dadurch
zu ihrem zentralen Lebensraum wird. Bei dieser Arbeit handelt es
sich um eine Ausarbeitung des im Seminar vorgetragendes Referates
Schulische Sozialisation," basierend auf den Artikel von Dieter
Ulich (vgl. Ulich 1991). Seine Ausfuhrungen werden dabei durch
aktuelle Beispiele und Ausfuhrungen bekraftigt, erweitert oder
widerlegt. Im Fokus liegt dabei die Selektionsfunktion der Schule
und ihre Auswirkungen auf Lehrer und besonders auf Schuler und
Schulerinnen. Zunachst werden deshalb kurz die Begriffe Schulische
Sozialisation" und Selektionsfunktion" definiert. Im Anschluss wird
zunachst die Sicht der Lehrer beschrieben, wobei auf das Verhaltnis
zu Schulern eingegangen wird, da diese durch die Macht der Lehrer,
an der Selektion aktiv beizutragen, beeinflusst wird. Dies
geschieht hauptsachlich durch die Vergabe von Noten und ihre
Folgen, die ebenfalls beleuchtet werden. Der nachste Abschnitt
beschaftigt sich dann mit der Sicht der Schuler, ihr Verhaltnis zu
anderen Schulern und insbesondere mit verschiedenen Arten von
Druck, die durch die Selektion entstehen. Ulich beschreibt in
seinem Artiel nicht nur die verschiedenen Sichtweisen, sondern
sieht gleichzeitig das dreigliedrige Schulsystem als Forderer der
Selektion. Deshalb wird in dieser Arbeit auch dieser Teil
betrachtet und verschiedene Alternativen untersucht.
This work offers a new perspective on the study of the sources of
S. T. Coleridge's poetics. The author argues that the philosophical
system endorsed by the Cambridge Platonist Ralph Cudworth
significantly contributed to the genesis of Coleridge's concept of
the symbol and its related symbolic knowledge. After an initial
view on the different articulations the symbol acquired in
Coleridge's theorizations over his career, the book reverts to the
poet's formative years from 1795 to 1798, in order to reveal the
roots of the concept. Apart from discussing Coleridge's direct
readings of Cudworth's The True Intellectual System of the Universe
in the years 1795 and 1796, the author explores the reception of
Cudworth's ideas in a number of philosophers', scientists', poets'
and literary theorists' works of the late seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries which were, in turn, read by the Romantic
author. The study also provides new insights into Coleridge's
lectures and poems in which the Coleridgean notion of symbol was
born: Lectures on Revealed Religion, «The Destiny of Nations,
«Religious Musings and the Conversation Poems in the light of
Cudworth's philosophical tenets.
