Introduction – What is a Subsidiary Module?

Subsidiary modules are modules from outside your home department. First year students on some degrees may study modules from other departments on an optional basis; for others, subsidiary modules are a compulsory element of their degree programme. Students may take up to 40 credits worth of free choice modules outside their department, depending on the requirements of their degree. If you have been directed to this booklet, then free choice modules may apply to you – check with Student Services if you are unsure.

You may take subsidiary modules from anywhere in the University, provided that they are the correct level (normally in Year 1, this is Level 1, except for languages) and fit in with your main subject timetable. This booklet focuses mainly on the Faculty of Arts.

Most modules are 10 or 20 credits; as University regulations do not permit students to change modules after a certain point into term, students should think carefully about their choices, particularly when thinking about taking year-long modules.

As there are many degree schemes which require students to take subsidiary modules, and a limited number of places on many modules, you are advised to make your module choices as soon as possible.

At the start of the spring semester, you may opt to change your mind about the spring subsidiary modules you have signed up for – for example, if you started a language in autumn and no longer wish to continue. More information about this will follow in January.

Things to be aware of….

Please ensure that none of the modules you choose clash – in both semesters. You need to be able to attend all the lectures and one seminar group/workshop if applicable (there is often a choice of times for seminars). Your compulsory modules will not clash with each other, but it’s up to you to make sure that your subsidiary modules from outside your home department fit with your timetable.

Make sure you choose your modules so that you are splitting your workload evenly. Ideally, you should have 60 credits in each semester, although a 70/50 split is sometimes acceptable if desired.

Moodle is NOT a reflection of which modules you are registered for. You should check your Portal (http://portal.nottingham.ac.uk) to ensure that you are properly registered for your modules.

Signing up in other departments in the University

You can find out further information on the modules listed on this page by visiting the Course Catalogue, found here on the Student Services website – www.nottingham.ac.uk/studentservices/services/module-enrolment.aspx

The list below is not necessarily exhaustive, but serves to highlight some of the available choices that are popular with Arts students. As with modules within the Faculty of Arts, please bear in mind that places may be limited after the offering department has confirmed their own students.

You should be aware that some modules, particularly in the sciences, may be open to students from other departments but have particular pre-requisites (for example, A Level Biology). Any special requirements should be stated in the module description in the Course Catalogue.

Summary of Content Archaeologists are interested in all aspects of the human past, from ancient landscapes and changing environments, buried settlements and standing monuments and structures, to material objects and evidence for diet, trade, ritual and social life. This module provides a basic introduction to the discipline of archaeology, the process by which the material remains of the past are discovered, analysed and used to provide evidence for human societies from prehistory to the present day. Through this it will form a foundation for future student learning throughout the single and joint-honours degree programmes. It introduces the historical development of the subject, followed by an overview of current practice in the areas of archaeological prospection and survey, excavation and post-excavation analysis, relative and absolute dating, the study of archaeological artefacts, and frameworks of social interpretation. Focusing on methods of analysing remains of past societies, it will also introduce some of the basic principles of archaeological science, including the analysis of plant and faunal remains and the scientific analysis of materials such as metals, ceramics and glass, using both classroom and laboratory based sessions allowing students to gain hands-on experience with different types of materials.

CLAR1023 Great Discoveries Autumn

20 Credits

Summary of Content Discovery lies at the heart of archaeology. Archaeological discoveries shape the discipline and advance our understanding of the development of human societies while sites such as Stonehenge and Pompeii exert a significant hold on the popular imagination. In this module the staff of the Classics and Archaeology department will examine the sites and discoveries that have formed major benchmarks in the history of the discipline. Taking a broadly chronological approach the course will touch upon discoveries relating to periods from the earliest phases of human evolution until the Middle Ages. Each lecture will focus on a major site, scientific discovery or excavation that has fundamentally altered previously held interpretations of and approaches to the past. The course will also examine the personalities and ideologies that have shaped the discipline of archaeology, noting how changing perspectives on gender, ethnicity and class have in turn shaped ideas about the past and its material remains. The module will be team taught and will encourage students to consider wider ethical issues relating to our approaches to the past.

CULT1026 Producing Film and Television Autumn

10 Credits Summary of Content This module is designed to engage students with a series of perspectives on certain aspects of the narrative histories of film and television, from their origins to the present day. This is a period of well over a hundred years which saw a series of significant transitional moments in production histories. The module will look at such moments as the coming of sound, the rise and demise of the Hollywood studio system, and the emergence of the network system. It will ask what transition means at different historical moments by raising a number of questions such as: What are the industries producing at these moments and why? How are the industries doing this? How are the cultural products marketed and distributed? The module is also designed to introduce historical method and the idea of historiography. To this end, the course will provide examples of different critical approaches to film and television history and interrogate some of the key debates around the periodization of that history. In each case, specific case examples and materials will be used to examine the various kinds of evidence used by film and television historians and the particular forms of knowledge these produce.

CULT1004 Cultures of Everyday Life Spring

20 Credits

VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY Summary of Content This course examines the notion of 'everyday life' as it comes into contact with a range of 19th, 20th and 21st century cultural theories and modes of representation. While we may take the idea of the everyday for granted, associating it with routine, familiar and repeated experiences, our everyday lives are, simultaneously, punctuated by the exceptional, the random and the disruptive. Traditional theoretical attempts to account for the everyday tend to overlook aspects of daily life that refuse system and order: sociology, anthropology, cultural and media studies, for example, deal with activities such as work and leisure but neglect the unique texture of everyday experience. This course thus emphasises the everyday world as problematic and fraught with difficulty in terms of seeing, theorising and representing, and looks at a wide range of attempts to register day to day existence from the modernist novel to photography to film to time capsules to poetry to video diaries to comic books.

CULT1024 Consuming Film and Television Spring

10 Credits Summary of Content This module engages students with the intellectual and historical questions surrounding the consumption—viewing and listening, in public and private environments including theatres, homes and more—of film, television and other screen media. The module addresses critical paradigms and cases surrounding different viewing contexts, including public spaces such as cinemas, private spaces such as homes, and emerging hybrid spaces. The module addresses too the international variations among viewing environments and experiences, along with censorship and other regulatory practices that relate to media consumption. To understand not only consumption environments but also media users, the module conceptualises and investigates screen audiences, addressing key oppositions such as active vs. passive and mass vs. fragmented audiences. The module exposes students to historical as well as contemporary cases, with each week offering one dialectic (e.g. public vs. private) and one case study for consideration. Students completing the module should gain an understanding of how screen media offer not static texts but components of experiences dependent on consumption environments and on audiences’ attitudes, cultural backgrounds and other activities.

ENGL1012 Shakespeare's Histories: Critical Approaches Autumn

10 Credits

Summary of Content Shakespeare is a cultural and literary icon. This module seeks to explore some of the many reasons behind that fact by focussing on one particular genre of drama - the history plays - which was hugely popular in England's commercial playhouses in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Looking in detail at a sequence of four plays - Richard II, Henry IV parts 1 and 2, and Henry V - the module will consider key themes, including kingship, power and authority, national and regional identities, sexual politics, war, and ideas of community. In addition, we will use these plays as a lens through which to examine Shakespeare's engagement with the linguistic, performative, and socio-political contexts of his time. Bringing matters up to the present day, the module will deploy a range of media resources, including film and performance archives, to consider the ways in which these plays continue to resonate and reverberate in the modern era. The relevance of the history plays within new social and political contexts and in new eras of war and conflict will be the focus of analysis, allowing us to think about Shakespeare in performance, on the screen, and in various forms of adaptation.

ENGL1009 The Viking World Spring

10 Credits

Summary of Content More than any other group the Vikings shaped the history of Europe. Their stories and myths are still the subject of fiction, poetry, film and art. This interdisciplinary module introduces students to the Vikings and their time. A key focus of this module is the impact of the Viking expansion, especially on the British Isles and the East Midlands. Students will be made familiar with concepts such as diasporic settlements and identity, and they will also be introduced to the various ways of evaluating sources from the Viking Age and beyond (such as literary sagas, historical sources, material culture etc.) This module is specifically designed as an introduction to Viking Studies. Its materials covers the culture of the Vikings, including their myths and stories (often recorded much later and with much impact on modern writers such as JRR Tolkien or Neil Gaiman), but also the ways they lived, travelled and interacted with other medieval societies. You will also learn a little about the language and the ways in which we can still see their imprints on modern place-names. The module is taught by one weekly 1.5 hr long lecture. It is assessed by an online multiple-choice exam at the end of the Spring semester.

Summary of Content

The Bible is a perennial bestseller and its influence on Western culture is unparalleled. This influence is not always obvious though, nor limited to the 'religious sphere'. In the Arts - whether Bach or The Beatles, Michelangelo or Monty Python - the use of the Bible is extremely varied. This module explores the ways the Bible is drawn upon in art, music and literature ranging from ancient Jewish synagogue mosaics and early Christian iconography, to contemporary - secular - films and music. Students are encouraged not only to engage with case studies of works of art which demonstrate the use and influence of the Bible, but also to consider critically the way in which art, music and literature - both 'religious' and 'secular' - function as biblical interpretations, and as part of the Bible's 'reception-history'. The module is taught by a variety of theologians in the department specialising in different areas of the Bible's reception. Introductory contributions on the influence of the Bible on, and through, a range of authors, musicians and artists can be seen in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies' Bibledex video project (www.bibledex.com).

Lectures will examine the historical context and philosophical origins of a range of different therapies (e.g. psychoanalysis, person-centred therapy, rational-emotive therapy) which may be used in the treatment of common mental health issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, phobias). The theoretical basis of each approach will be addressed, with a consideration of how important concepts are applied in therapeutic interventions.

SOCI1012 Identity in Popular Culture Autumn

20 Credits

Summary of Content This course introduces students to the importance of studying culture for understanding the social world we inhabit.

The study of culture illuminates how we understand ourselves and others and the meanings we attribute to the world around us. By examining culture we see that many of the ‘common sense’, ‘normal’ or ‘natural’ understandings we have of what it means to be male or female, gay or straight, white or black, middleclass or working-class, are specific to our particular society, and are also laden with implicit judgements about the relative worth of these identities.

The course considers a range of cultural forms from the everyday popular culture that surrounds us in our daily lives, from Hollywood films to reality TV to ‘ethnic’ cuisine, and explores the ways in which social identities and social relations such as class, gender or racial difference are represented and played out in popular culture.

Students will keep a learning journal for the course which will involve writing short entries each week in response to prompts and advice from the teaching team. This functions as a way of processing the material from the course in written (and other) forms as we go through the learning journey. The journal tasks are designed to help familiarise students with the varying demands of academic assessment including engagement with academic texts and concepts; analysis of real-life examples; reflection on personal views and responses to ideas; and developing a formal writing style. During the session, students will be asked to submit 2-4 journal entries (totalling no more than 1000 words) for formative feedback. This will then prepare them for the final summative submission when they will be asked to identify between 6-10 journal entries (totalling no more than 3500 words).
