- PD Dr. Gerd Bayer
- Details
- Masterseminar
2 cred.h
Time and place: Tue 16:00 - 18:30, C 301
- Contents
- The Master Course provides a detailed examination, contextualization and discussion of a theoretical concept and its (historically specific) application. In this seminar we will focus on the concept of genre. Moving beyond the formalist and prescriptive nature of classical genre theories, we will look at narrative fictions that toyed with and subverted supposedly stable generic traditions.
Students will be expected to conduct substantial amounts of independent and self-reliant work in the seminar. They will also be trained in presenting and defending the findings of their research. This course also focuses on presentation skills that especially address the needs of MA-students, who will present a paper in the context of a student conference, with discussion.
