Learning outcomes
This seminar is practical in nature; its purpose is to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired (from the lectures) to practical analysis. Its structure will therefore follow the composition of the lecture series. First, we will focus on versological analysis, followed by issues of genre, questions of literary communication (the lyrical subject, the semiotic subject, the self-stylization of the lyrical speaker, and self-address in poetry). We will also address issues of phonetic instrumentation, poetic naming, poetic imagery, and so on.
