The Department of Culture and Language Studies welcomes students of all disciplines to participate in the quest for cultural and media literacy and multilingual communication.

Globalization, democratization, technology and post-colonial forces continue to powerfully shape our increasingly complex and interconnected world, requiring each one of us to respond to new challenges and opportunities by increasing our understanding of diverse cultures, by exploring, engaging with and developing skills in established and emerging media, through academic and practical study of music and film, and by our competence in foreign languages.

The Department of Culture and Language Studies houses a variety of specialists in languages, literatures, arts media and cultures. We are dedicated to the teaching of cultural literacy, which can best be achieved through the long-term development of linguistic competence and the study of literary and social texts. In the spirit of diversity and understanding, we are committed to our students, to the exploration of innovative teaching and research modes that draw upon common interests among our languages and disciplines, and to the strengthening of our links to the greater academic community and the community at large.

The Department of Culture and Language Studies offers the following academic programs:

GENERAL INFORMATION

The program is administered by the German unit in the Department of Culture and Language Studies. The nature of area studies allows students to take a certain number of courses in other departments at UNB and STU (History, Political Science, and Philosophy).

Certificate of Applied German Studies

The goal of this certificate is to attach recognition to the practical application of German Studies that occurs, for instance, in a wide range of extracurricular contexts such as film series, cultural events and immersion weekends; in the participation in studies abroad* in a German speaking country; in the participation of the Berlin Travel Study program; and in special class projects and German society projects.

The Certificate in Applied German Studies emphasises the connection between academic and professional worlds. It does this by emphasising the training of competences and skills such as generating ideas, text production, intercultural literacy, creative, and pedagogical skills in specific task sets. Such competences are, for example, needed by publishers, text producers in media and advertising, cultural managers, communication instructors, academics, teachers of

2014-2015 Calendar Proof

German as a foreign language, adult education teachers etc. The ability to convert language into text and to plan language for a variety of media and events is also in demand in the business sector.

The certificate program can be taken concurrently with other German and German Studies programs but is of particular interest to students who are not majoring or honouring in a German program. It normally consists of 12 ch of German language acquisition courses, plus 6 ch of German culture courses (GER 3061 and GER 3071), 3 ch of Applied German Studies (GER 2003 and 2004) and 3 ch of German Studies (literature, film, history, political science, philosophy). In addition to these courses the program requires the participation in extracurricular activities such as German film series, immersion program, cultural events, and projects. Students will produce reviews and reports to be collected in a portfolio. Guidelines for the specific requirements of the portfolio will be provided by the instructors. The portfolio will be evaluated for academic assessment by the program director or the instructor.

*There are international partnerships with accredited German universities (Freiburg, Bamberg, Saarland, Erfurt) and schools (Kassel). Courses taken abroad can be considered for transfer credit.

The Certificate of Applied German Studies is open to UNB degree students only and will be awarded by the University through the Registrar's Office. The student's transcript will bear a separate entry, showing that the Certificate has been awarded.

Media Arts & Cultures

General Information

Media Arts & Cultures is an interdisciplinary program that combines the study of media forms, texts, and contexts with a hands-on approach to creativity and technology. In this program, students learn about media by making media. They not only consider, critique, and engage intellectually with media, but also learn tools and techniques with which media content is created today. In Media Arts & Cultures, we blur the line between critical consumers and creative producers, between scholars of media and authors of media.

Honours, Majors, and Minors

Students interested in Media Arts & Cultures have the following five options:

Honours in Media Arts & Cultures Honours in Media Arts & Cultures (Film Production) Major in Media Arts & Cultures Major in Media Arts & Cultures (Film Production) Minor in Media Arts & Cultures

Honours programs are for students who are interested in a concentrated course of study (typically in preparation for further studies). The Film Production options are designed to allow students with an interest in filmmaking to focus their MAAC elective courses in this area. All students electing the Film Production option still complete all of the core courses for the general Media Arts & Cultures program. The Minor consists of 24 ch of MAAC courses for students majoring in other disciplines. Joint Honours and Double Majors with Media Arts & Cultures are also possible.

HONOURS

Admission to the Honours Program in Media Arts & Cultures is open to qualified students who have completed 45 ch of courses toward the BA degree. Normally students will have completed (or be in process of completing) 12 ch in lower level MAAC courses. Students should apply for admission to the Media Arts & Cultures Honours Program in their fourth term. Students may enter the program during their third year, if they qualify.

To be admitted to Honours, the student must have achieved an average of 3.3 (B+) in their Media Arts & Cultures courses. Also, an average of 3.3 in MAAC courses and of 2.5 in non-MAAC courses must be

World Literature and Culture Studies

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Program in World Literature and Culture Studies is dedicated to the study of literature and cultures in a broad interlingual, intercultural and interdisciplinary framework. It offers students the opportunity to explore various cultures and literatures through the study of texts, either in their original language or in translation and to develop a more global consciousness and awareness through cultural literacy. World Literature and Culture Studies introduces students to:

1. The literatures of two or more languages and cultures2. Questions and theories about literatures and cultures3. Contemporary and/or historical perspectives on two or more cultures

The study of different texts and cultures will enrich and enhance students' understanding of their own as well as of other cultures. This process is facilitated by the systematic comparison of such questions as literary genres, periods, movements, and dominant themes and motifs, or in the context of the mutual impact of two or more national or regional cultures.

Why World Literature and Culture Studies?

Globalization, democratization, and post-colonial forces continue to powerfully shape our increasingly complex and interconnected world. World Literature and Culture Studies provides

23 | P a g e

Page 24:  · Web viewGlobalization, democratization, technology and post-colonial forces continue to powerfully shape our increasingly complex and interconnected world, requiring each …

2014-2015 Calendar Proof

a valuable opportunity to study these relationships as expressed in literary and other cultural texts from a variety of perspectives.

Those who would otherwise choose to study one national or regional literature may find here a broader frame of reference for their interest. Students have the opportunity to read intriguing and challenging texts from around the world while discovering the connections between literature and other disciplines and among the various literatures studied in the program; this program offers students the possibility of exploring the relations between literature and such areas as ideology, colonialism, film and other visual arts, gender studies, political thought, and International Development Studies.

World Literature and Culture Studies allows students to improve their analytical and critical thinking skills, develop their abilities in expository writing and oral communications, expand the context of functionality in a second or even third language. Finally, students not only gain perspective on the world, but also deeper insights into their own culture.
