ENG-5 Topic course 1 - Narratives of
Disorder
Lecturer:
Dr Bent Sørensen
Course description:
That the subject of war looms large in the history of
fiction is abundantly clear. Roughly from the Battle of
Maldon (c. 1000) to the present day and the war on terror,
the English canon manifests an unbroken tradition of war writing.
Within the context of recent British fiction, more particularly
writers such as Martin Amis, Pat Barker, David Hare, and Ian
McEwan, this course addresses the question, what is the
relationship between war and literature?

ENG-5 Topic course 2 - Contemporary British Literature
Lecturer:
Dr Jens Kirk
Course description:
"War is a force that gives us meaning" - Chris
Hedges
Taking this as our point of departure, this course will
investigate the way that representatins of war articulate
concerns, fears and problems regarding the conflicts of
contemporary society. Rather than simply being about war, these
cultural texts reveal a logic of conflict which is often
representative of the whole of culture.
War fictions also exist as both historical and historicizing
texts, placing history and historical events in a certain light,
while at the same time ften dealing with contemporary issues.
the relationship between text, history and culture will thus be
significant for the course.

COURSES IN PSYCHOLOGY:
PSY-3
Cognitive Psychology (CogPsy) [10 ECTS]
Lecturers (tentative): Dr. Tia Hansen (chair) with
others
Exam code: HNB330001L
Cognitive psychology is
the scientific study of how people sense, learn, and think;
in present day terminology, how we represent and process
information about the world and ourselves in it. As such,
cognition is involved in all human endeavours and relevant
for all areas of psychology.
As a specific set of themes for study,
cognition was the first field to be subjected to scientific
methods and is still a very lively research field today,
both basic and applied. The course outlines the history,
main approaches, and methods of cognitive psychology while
exemplifying these within particular subfields. The course
evolves around three major subfields and is taught by active
researchers within them: Perception (Johan Trettvik), basic
cognitive functions (Rune Nørager), and memory (Tia Hansen,
Radka Antalíková). Vital questions asked and methods
employed to answer them are exemplified, important findings
and controversies are outlined, and some links to smaller
subfields and practical applications are shown.
Readings:
The course requires 1000 pages of
reading, of which about half are in the text book (Matlin, 2005) and
the other half are in a compendium. Be aware that the latter are
more difficult readings than the textbook; they are in-depth sources
for specific themes within the course, and most are original works
that exemplify classics or current research in the field. All exams
questions will require knowledge of both textbook material and
in-depth sources. Suggestions for further reading can be obtained by
asking the relevant lecturer.

updated course description of fall 2009
The exam will be an oral and/or mixed oral and written exam.

The aim of the course is to improve students' oral English and

therefore recommended to

in itself. Teaching is
exclusively in English.
