You will get a systematic and historical overview of canonical literature theories. This will provide You an insight into the huge variety of scientific questions in our discipline. And You should become acquainted with different methods of text analysis.

At first we will deal with fundamental questions of our discipline which only seem to be clear, but which we have to challenge, e.g.: What is literature? What is a text? What functions does the author have? That may be a repetition, but we will deal with these questions in a new context. You will get a systematic and historical overview of the most important theories on literature, culture and media (hermeneutics, reception aesthetic, structuralism, poststructuralism, cultural and media studies). According to each approach the answer to the questions mentioned above will be different. And according to each approach You will have specific methodological possibilities to deal with texts.

Lecture with powerpoint-slides and exemplary passages from primary sources; regular attendance is required and notes should be made. Additionally, selected readings from primary sources and chapters from textbooks of literary theory and literary studies will be mandatory.
