Admission to the program

Inhalt:

Module 2 consists of a lecture and an accompanying Master seminar. The lecture introduces students to the history, concept, and objectives of North American literary studies from the 19th century to the present. Methodology and theoretical approaches of the discipline are developed both historically and systematically with regard to central paradigms of literary studies (author, reader, text, context). Reading and discussing key texts in the history of literary studies in the Master seminar, students gain insight into the development of the theoretical and methodological engagement with imaginative literary writing in North America from the 19th century to the present.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students develop a basic overview over North American literary studies and the historic evolvement of approaches and methodologies specific to the discipline. They familiarize themselves with central canonical works of American literary studies and literary theory and begin to build a methodological repertoire. They practice reading and grappling with the academic discourse of the field in presentations and discussions which also train their oral communicative skills. Students develop critical uses of the categories and approaches they encounter and are thus enabled to reflect and work toward revising their own as well as other students’ positions.
