PS-Introduction to Literary Studies: Working with Literary Texts

Lukas Lammers

Comments

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.

Readings / Blackboard
Most of the readings as well as a full list of required texts and other important information will be made available in the first session through Blackboard.

Normally, courses for which you have signed up via Campus Management (see below) will show up in your Blackboard account automatically. Please doublecheck. Also note that the individual Blackboard sites will become available only shortly before the start of the seminar.

Requirements
To complete the module and receive the full credits students will have to attend regularly, participate in in-class discussions, submit three short written assignments and pass the final exam at the end of term (90 minutes; with one part based on the lecture and one based on the seminar).
