Der Ackermann aus Böhmen und Tkadleček (Das Weberlein) Literaturseminar/ Workshop (Olmütz-Oldenburg) Man findet kaum ein Zeitalter, in dem der Mensch häufiger konfrontiert wäre mit dem Tod, als im Mittelalter. Die Epidemien, Kriege sowie die furchtbaren hygienischen Bedingungen führten dazu, dass die Lebenserwartung bei ca. 30 Jahren lag. Der Ackermann des Johannes von Tepl (um 1400) ist ein faszinierendes Streitgespräch, in dem der personifizierte Tod dessen Grausamkeit legitimieren soll. Er sei verantwortlich für den Verlust der geliebten Frau. Im dynamischen Dialog präsentiert sich der Tod nicht nur als ein vehementer Verteidiger dessen Aufgabe, sondern auch als ein ausgezeichneter Kenner mittelalterlicher Weltanschauung, der den Ackermann bzw. den Leser belehrt. Der alttschechische Tkadleček wird im Seminar behandelt, weil der Text auffallende Berührungspunkte aufweist. Das Seminar ist als 'Blockveranstaltung' vorgesehen (freitags). Ein gemeinsamer Workshop mit der Uni Oldenburg ist geplant. Extra-credits für die Teilnahme an der Exkursion in Prag. Neue Texte, neue Erfahrungen, viel Spaß!
