GK-Introduction to Literary Studies: Basic Questions, Concepts and Methods
Lukas Lammers
Kommentar
This lecture (Grundkurs) is the first part of the Introduction to Literary Studies module, which is primarily designed for first-semester students. It introduces students to the study of English literature. Participants will be encouraged to consider their own engagement with literary texts and are introduced to standard methods of analysing poetry, prose and drama. They will also explore broader topics such as rhetoric, genre theory, literary history and different approaches to literary criticism. The module’s main objective is to help students develop their skills as independent, critical readers who can combine the enjoyment of reading with a more systematic approach to literature, examining its effects on readers and the world. The concepts and methods introduced in the lecture will form the basis of discussions and close readings of selected literary texts in the accompanying seminars (PS 17301, 17302 … 17308).
