PS-Introduction to Literary Studies: Working with Literary Texts

Lukas Lammers

Kommentar

This seminar is designed to be taken in conjunction with the lecture 17300, “GK Introduction to Literary Studies.” Please note that you must sign up for both courses separately. The lecture and seminar are closely connected and follow a similar structure. The seminar provides a space to explore in more detail concepts presented in the lecture and apply them by engaging with a variety of poetic, narrative, and dramatic texts. Additionally, students will read a small selection of critical texts that introduce them to some of the central theoretical frameworks in literary studies. The class also offers an introduction to academic writing and research techniques. Overall, the seminar aims to enable students to understand and contextualize a historically and generically diverse range of texts and to discuss and write about them in structured ways. This class will be conducted in English.
