I love teaching online and getting students interested in the world of the Internet in the context of American cultural Studies. If you would like to see what students produced in past classes, go to www.acs-onweb.de. Nevertheless, I would hate to no longer meet with students face-to-face in seminars and therefore love teaching in the classroom as well.
I am a passionate traveller, cook, and gardener. |

Subjects: American Literature, General and Comparative Literature, Fantastic
Literature (including the neighbouring genres SF and Heroic Fantasy)
Favourite Literature: usually just the author/work I'm reading at the moment; but here are some
non-variables that come to mind immediately:
Nabokov, John Updike, Poe, Joseph Conrad, Shakespeare (he really is great
you know), (cavalier) John Donne (well, I'm the third one naming Donne as
favourite author; maybe there's a chance of founding a John Donne Society),
Hemingway, Fitzgerald, etc., etc. (the last two are not authors but just a
none too subtle way of hinting at one's great store of knowledge, and that
one could go on enumerating favourite works and authors if one had only
world enough and time - another sly literary allusion)
As I am by profession a school teacher in a Gymnasium in Mannheim, I try
to give students in my courses the additional (or is it subtractional?)
benefit of instructing them - at least somewhat - as to how to structure
and monitor a lesson. |

Stefan Herbrechter
MA (Heidelberg), PhD (Cardiff)
DAAD Visiting Professor in Cultural Studies (WS 2007/8 and SS 2008) Associate Principal Lecturer in Cultural Analysis (and „Honorary Research Fellow“ from November 2007) at Leeds Trinity and All Saints, College of the University of Leeds, UK
It feels quite strange to come back as a lecturer to the place where I studied (I completed my Magister and Staatsexamen in French and English at the University of Heidelberg in 1993/4). The DAAD helped me to „get away“ and do my PhD at the Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory in Cardiff (where I studied with people like Catherine Belsey, Christopher Norris, Chris Weedon, Terence Hawkes, Laurent Milesi, Duncan Large and others), and now the DAAD brings me back here.
I'll be helping to promote the so-called „Kulturwissenschaften“ at the Anglistische Seminar by offering lectures, seminars and other sessions on various aspects of cultural studies, cultural theory and cultural criticism.
My main projects at present are: completing a co-written monograph on „Critical Posthumanism“ (with Ivan Callus, University of Malta; to appear in our Rodopi series, „Critical Posthumanisms“ in early 2008), writing a German introductory version, „Posthumanismus: Eine kritische Einführung“, for the WBG (2008), editing (with Ivan Callus) two essay collections, one called „Cy-Borges: Posthumanism in the Work of Jorge Luis Borges“ (for Bucknell UP, late 2007), the other provisionally entitled „Posthumanist Shakespeares“.
Other areas and more long term research interests are the „language“ of deconstruction; the conceptualisation of alterity (especially the representation of strangers and strangeness); technoculture, filmculture and mediaculture; the role of literature in cultural studies; cultural studies and pedagogy; autobiography, translation and bilingualism.
Apart from that I don't really have a life (except maybe for the odd game of tennis, table tennis or football), but a family. |

Room number: 221
E-mail: chris.jones@aya.yale.edu

Favorite literature: the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Peter Morris; the poems of Hafiz, Ikkyu, the Chinese poet Cold Mountain, and Jaggi Vasudev; the novels of Cervantes, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, and William T. Vollmann; and the unclassifiable work of Blaise Pascal
Christopher Jones’s primary research is in Religion, Psychology, and Culture. His dissertation is an interdisciplinary effort that reveals a correlation between the iconographic themes late in the development of the Rondanini Pietà and psychodynamic themes late in the development of Michelangelo’s life. Beginning in 1999, his teaching experience includes fields ranging from the psychology of religion to basic algebra. He is also a pastoral therapist and certified psychodynamic psychotherapist, having clinical experience that includes pastoral therapy with inpatient addicts, with homeless youth, and with the elderly; chaplaincy at a major urban hospital; and psychodynamic psychotherapy in private practice. Besides teaching, he works on his doctoral dissertation and does volunteer work for the Isha Foundation, a nonprofit organization.

Derek Patrick O'Brien
BA (Mod.) M.Phil. (Ling.)
Room number: 323
Phone: 542843
Email: Derek.O'Brien@urz.uni-heidelberg.de
Subjects: language courses and cultural studies (Ireland)
Favourite Literature: Modern Irish fiction such as John Banville, John McGahern, Hugo Hamilton, Colm Toibin, Colum McCann, Roddy Doyle, Joesph O’Connor and crime fiction by Michael Dibdin or Donna Leon.
I'm especially interested in Celtic studies (archaeology, literature, religion); in particular I'm fascinated by the Celts and their culture in Europe (Hallstatt and La Tene). Knowing that there once was a Celtic settlement in Heidelberg (Heiligenberg) makes me feel at home here. Other interests include Hiberno-German connections down through the
centuries: from the early Irish wandering monks and scholars (peregrini) in Europe, to reports by German travellers from Ireland in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, German involvement in the 1916 Rising and German propaganda and spying missions in Ireland during the Second World War, to modern views and stereotypes of Ireland prevalent in Germany today.
Finally, I've been a passionate Manchester United fan for the best part of the last thirty years. I also play soccer
regularly for ASC Neuenheim. |
