3 Titel 2 SPECTATORS/PARTICIPANTS Indhold -fra Wider Contexts, ed. Engberg-Pedersen m. fl. Gyldendal 2012: - David G. Meyers, Exploring Psychology Excerpt. Textbook - kernetekst - Mary Payne, The Song of the Spectators, 1964, Poem. - Mark Goulston, Charlie Sheen and Voyerism Blog. - Stephen Millhauser, The Knife Thrower Short story - kernetekst -Mick Hume, Is Abu Graib the Military Version of Reality TV? Article. 4 uger = 20 lektioner Fokus punkter: Træning i at analysere ret vanskelige non-fiction tekster om emnet SPECTATORS og anvende den opnåede viden på analyse og fortolkning af fiktive tekster. In this topic we focus on the need of modern human beings of watching other people submitting themselves to danger, or committing outrageous acts, or watching celebrities expose themselves in various ways, and to some extent identifying with them (Voyerism). We also look into the psychological need of belonging to/feeling part of a crowd, which leads us to behave as the crowd, while we remain anonymous (Conformity). In the topic these elements are dealt with in fictional form in the short story, The Knife Thrower and the poem, The Song of the Spectators. The psychological and biological background is explained and reflected on in the non-fiction texts. Klasseundervisning pararbejde mundtlig fremlæggelse Side 3 af 11

4 Titel 3 Indhold RACE THE DEEP SOUTH TEXTS: R.J.Meaddough, III, The Death of Tommy Grimes, short story, New York 1962 kopi Charles Fuller, A Soldier s Play, New York 1981-kopi- kernetekst William Faulkner, Dry September, short story, New York kopi - kernetekst Films: In the Heat of the Night fra 1967 A Soldier s Story fra uger = 35 lektioner Vi fokuserer bl.a.på: -Det særlige ved sydstaterne, den historiske baggrund for racismen her. -Hovedpersonerne i A Soldier s Play ( Sergeant Waters, Peterson,C.J.og Davenport, the lawyer)in the Heat of the Night( Virgil Tibbs). The topic consists of texts and films - representing different genres : a couple of short stories, a very good play ( A Soldier s Story), which was later made into a very good film. Some historical speeches, and a famous film from 1967 actually the first time a black police officer( Sidney Poitier) was portrayed as the hero of a crime story. The film, In the Heat of the Night, is set in Mississippi in the early 1960 s. The other film/play A Soldier s Story, is set in 1944 in Louisiana, and also has a black person a lawyer as its hero/protagonist. This play, however, was written much later, in 1981, and therefore benefits from the wisdom of hindsight. There is a multitude of THEMES and POINTS OF FOCUS to choose from RACISM, of course, is the overall theme. One of the points of focus will be the settings in the ficional texts, which are supposed to represent various locations in the South at different times in history: a) The marshes/countryside of Mississipi in the 1950 s as seen in The Death of Tommy Grimes. b) The fictional town of Sparta and its inhabitants. This is supposed to be Mississippi in the early 1960 s, as seen in In the Heat of the Night. c) Fort Neal, Louisiana, and the town of Tynin in 1944, towards the end of the war, when colored troops were encamped there, waiting to be put to use in the war in Europe, as seen in A Soldier s Play. d) The town of Jefferson as seen in Dry September, which is set in Mississippi in the 1920 s. Its atmosphere and inhabitants. Klasseundervisning, gruppearbejde, filmanalyse. Titel 4 THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT Side 4 af 11
