Welcome to the Literatures and Cultures of Great Britain

Prof. Feldmann and her team focus on British literature(s) and culture(s). Her research centres on literary and other (pop-)cultural phenomena in Great Britain, with a specific emphasis on theoretical, interdisciplinary and predominantly historical approaches. While her research and teaching covers British literature from the Renaissance to the present, a main focus is on the 16th/17th and the 19th/20th centuries. Of special interest are literary and cultural representations with intersecting categories of difference (especially ones relating to ethnicity and gender), their impact on identity formation and on processes of social stratification, and their connections to other discourses, such as economy, religion, politics, society or modern media. Historical case studies deal with specific socio-political structures and with politics, ideologies and mentalities in Great Britain. Focussing on these issues implies an extension of the text paradigm, which now also includes other, non-literary, symbolic frameworks by which shared meanings are produced and circulated, thus also foregrounding questions of canonisation, mediality and the materiality of culture.

Used by permissionProfessor Feldmanns Lehrstuhl deckt in Forschung und Lehre die britische Literatur von der Renaissance bis zur Gegenwart ab, wobei ein besonderer Schwerpunkt auf der Erforschung von Wechselbeziehungen zwischen literarischen und anderen – z.B. ökonomischen, philosophischen und politischen – Diskursen liegt. Forschungsprojekte beschäftigen sich primär mit Fragen der literarisch-kulturellen Repräsentation voneinander überlagernden Differenzkategorien (neben solchen ethnisch-sozialer Art insbesondere solche geschlechtlich-sexueller Art) als Faktoren der Identitätsbildung und der gesellschaftlichen Hierarchisierung, wobei u. a. auch ethische und religiöse Fragstellungen erörtert und psychoanalytische Ansätze erprobt werden. Historische Fallstudien beziehen sich auf jeweils spezifische politisch-gesellschaftliche Organisationsstrukturen sowie auf Politik, Ideologien und Mentalitäten in Großbritannien. Methodisch implizieren diese Schwerpunkte eine Erweiterung des Textparadigmas zugunsten einer Vielzahl symbolischer Verständigungsrahmen für Prozesse kollektiver Sinnstiftung, die auch Fragen nach Kanonisierung und Medialität sowie der Materialität von Kultur einschließen.
