Course content
|
The literature seminars - like the literature lectures - focus either on individual time periods/epochs in German literature, or they may be defined as an overview of the works by a single writer, several related writers, or as a developmental exploration of a specific genre, one or several motifs and themes, or types of figures of speech etc. However, the seminars - unlike lectures - emphasize mainly practical work with primary and reference texts and students' creative work.

Learning outcomes
|
Interpretation of texts of a specific period, genre, writer, or on a particular subject or topic.
Students will gain insight into literature and literary criticism in selected periods as well as knowledge on topics dealt with in German language literature. A special emphasis is laid on the knowledge of the historical and cultural-historical context. The resulting competence also consists in an independent interpretation of a literary text and its examination in the literary historical as well as general historical, aesthetical, sociological context and in a comparative relation to the literature of the student's mother tongue/or the second subject.
