Course content
The cultural-historical seminars deal with all manifestation of Jewish culture and art as well as social, political and media events. The contents of the literature seminars either refer to individual periods/ epochs of Jewish literature, or they are defined as an overview of the work of a specific author, several related authors, a developmental study of one genre, one or more motifs, topics or figural types, etc. In the seminar, the emphasis lies especially on work with particular texts of primary or secondary literature and on the creative work of students. Some seminars take the form of a "workshop", which means that the educational horizon is not determined beforehand, and often not even the canon of the texts and the structure of the course is pre-set, but it is created "in progress" in the discussions between the students and the instructor. Block seminars of visiting professors belong to the offer of such courses. The list of offered seminars is updated at the beginning of every semester. Students will choose any number of seminars from the list which they will pass after acquiring the credits. Their choice should be determined by their own consideration regarding the scheduled knowledge that they have to acquire before the state exams.
