| Course content |
|
After introductory lectures that look at the individual literary epochs of early modernity in their most important basic features and in chronological order, each lecture is devoted to a formal innovation in literary modes of writing (one-act plays, middle-act poetry, metonymic vs. metaphorical writing) or sheds light on the literary treatments of contemporary discourses (family structure, social question, Darwinism/evolutionary theory, pacifism/nationalism). The last third of the lecture focuses on the genres of literary fantasy and future novel/science fiction, which emerged in early modernity and in which the new formal modes of writing merge with the discursive and thematic foci.

Lecture covers the period of Early Modernism from approx. 1880 to 1920. Here, "Early Modernism" is understood as an umbrella term to which the different and rapidly successive literary epochs (Naturalism, Impressionism, Symbolism, Decadence, Expressionism) are subordinated. The basic features of the literary epoch scheme will be presented in the introductory lectures. Subsequently, the central modes of writing and discourses/themes that were responsible for the transformation of the 19th century bourgeois social formation into a modern worldview (or the worldview of modernity) will be analysed.
Overview of the course and the central discourses of literary modernity between approx. 1880 and 1920; due to the text-bound nature of the respective lectures, teaching of models and possibilities of complex text analysis; competence in interweaving literary texts with non-literary, scientific, technical or socio-political discourses. |
