Kommentar/Beschreibung

NB - This course will take place in the form of a weekly lecture (2 SWS), and weekly tutorials (1 SWS).

The introduction teaches basic skills and methods necessary for academic reading, analysis, and literary studies research. Thus, it creates an awareness of such concepts as periods in literary history, their respective (formal and thematic) characteristics, and introduces a selection of their most renowned representatives. In addition, we will take a look at definitions of genre, and consider various approaches to the analysis of literary texts, using as course book Nünning’s Introduction. These methods will be tested against a Shakespearean play, chapters from a 20th century British novel, and a number of poems. A reader of poems and the book chapters will be provided via Stud-IP. Another important aspect in this course will be to learn how to employ academic research material (bibliographies, reference books, electronic media). Elements of the course include therefore a library tour, a bibliographical assignment, and a written final exam (E-Klausur). Tutorial attendance is obligatory in this module!
