Learning outcomes
|
The lecture first deals with the theory of the history of German literature (mainly methodology, periodization of literary history, evaluation and creation of canon, the notion of "classic/ world literature", etc.) and the history of the field. Further it thematizes particular literary work from the beginnings to the contemporary literature and concrete connections of literature and to various contexts (historical, political, religious, other kinds of art, etc.).
The resulting competence lies in the basic overview of the developmental stages of German literature from the beginnings to the contemporary literature and in the ability to perceive the literary text in connection to general and literary history, to its aesthetic and sociological connections as well as explore its relations to the literature of the students' mother tongue or to the literature of their second major.
