The course offers an introduction to the discipline, discussing the various definitions, approaches, and methods of American studies. In the course, you will be presented some of the current and older ("traditional") major fields, methodologies, themes, and topics of the discipline with a view on the wide array of other disciplines (anthropology, cultural studies, literary studies, history, sociology, etc.) that American studies have relied on, borrowed from, or appropriated. Hopefully, the course will help participants to find options in the American Studies program to organize their own BA study program. Grading will be based on 1- a Term Paper (5,000 to 6,500 characters) on a topic given by the instructor to be submitted by the end of the term; 2- oral test including a) topics covered in class b) a range of essays some compulsory, some optional on various aspects of American Studies;3- minutes submitted after every class by appointed students, according to specifications. 4- films will be included in the compulsory material
