This seminar is designed to be taken in conjunction with the lecture “Introduction to Literary Studies: Basic Questions, Concepts, and Methods.” Students will apply the knowledge they gain in the lecture and develop their skills by engaging with a selection of poetic, narrative, and dramatic texts. In addition, students will read a number of critical texts which introduce them to some of the central theoretical frameworks in literary studies. Overall, the seminar thus aims to give students the ability to understand and contextualise a historically and generically diverse range of texts and to discuss and write about them in structured ways. Finally, the class offers a first introduction to academic writing and research techniques.

To complete the module and receive the full credits students will have to attend regularly and meet the requirements for active participation (based on written assignments) in the seminar, as well as pass the final exam (90 minutes) at the end of the term (based on both the lecture and the seminar).

Please note that the number of participants per class is limited. There are several parallel courses to choose from (same content/materials). Students must sign up via Campus Management in order to be assigned a place. Places will be assigned by the system based on first and second choice. Before the first session, make sure to check to which seminar you have been assigned.

The class will be conducted in English. Most of the readings as well as a full list of required texts and other important information will be made available at the beginning of term. Make sure you are enrolled for the accompanying Blackboard site for your specific seminar (17301, 17302 ...) and the lecture (17300). Normally, courses for which you enrol via Campus Management will be added to your Blackboard account automatically. The Blackboard sites will be made available shortly before the start of the seminar.

This seminar will be taught online. Please note that there are also on-campus options and that the number of available places is limited in all courses. While registering, you will be asked to select two preferences. Make sure that both your choices reflect your wishes for online or on-campus teaching.
