Inhalt:
The module provides a detailed, in-depth study of key concepts, methods
and critical terminology in modern Literary Studies and applies them
to a core topic in English Studies. Possible concepts and core topics are:
• the theory and practice of literary criticism, including case studies
on the application of critical approaches to literary texts;
• critical discussions of the functions of literary canons; de- and recanonization,
especially in contexts of gender studies or
(post)colonialism;
• the historicity of literature and the representation of history (incl.
the history of ideas) in literature;
• literature, literary theory and cultural politics;
• concepts of difference and representation in literary theory;
• case studies on contemporary literary theory, e.g., religious and
ethical turns;
• the study and problematization of the literary and cultural significance
of literary modes and genres.
• detailed study of particular literary movements or periods (e.g.
Renaissance, Restoration, Romanticism)
In class (Advanced Seminar), this core topic is contextualized, evaluated
from different perspectives, and discussed. In a period of supervised
self-directed study/reading assignments, students approach the topic
with a narrower, individual focus. They will work on the critical concepts
and terminology they use in their research; explore the contexts of their
object of study, and read up on current and significant older scholarship
conducted in the field.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
The aim of the module is to enable students to apply independently, but
with supervision, current critical concepts and methods in Literary Studies
to a core topic. This will also enhance their skills in the following areas:
• Subject and Practical Skills: Theories and methods are illustrated,
applied and problematized by reference to a single core topic
in English Studies – both in the context of group work (seminar)
and independent study
• Intellectual Skills: In the application of methods and theory, the
focus is on the critical reflection of academic description and
analysis.
