Course content
Prager deutsche Literatur Die Prager deutsche Literatur wird in der Forschung meistens durch prominente Autoren wie Kafka, Werfel oder Meyrink vertreten, deren Werke sich der literarischen Moderne zuordnen lassen. Im Seminar wird die Aufmerksamkeit auf eine eher populäre Gattung gerichtet - auf die Kriminalliteratur. In den einführenden Sitzungen werden die Problematik und Geschichte dieser Gattung vorgestellt (samt der Fragen nach "Minderwertigkeit" oder "Trivialität") und zwei drei "Klassiker" der deutschsprachigen Weltliteratur in gemeinsamer Analyse behandelt. Im weiteren Verlauf werden Studenten zu einzelnen ausgewählten Werken der Prager deutschen und deutschmährischen Literatur referieren. Primärliteratur 1.
