Inhalt: This course systematically analyzes television discourse. We will address the communicative context of reality TV formats and aspects of multimodality. We will combine this with a perspective of queer studies which challenges heteronormative assumptions about the people involved. The main focus of our seminar will be the linguistic analysis of utterances on Drag Race. In order to be able to reasonably participate, you must have watched at least one season of Drag Race before the term starts. If you are not familiar with RuPaul's Drag Race so far, I recommend starting with an early US season (seasons 4-6; more recent seasons 12 & 13 are available on Netflix).
Literatur: A list with selected readings will be provided in the first session.
Wichtige Hinweise: Please note that physical attendance is necessary in the first session, so we can determine the demand. Any spots on the course that are not taken will be given to other students.
