Competence of interpreting texts of contemporary literature

Although autofiction originated in autobiography, it primarily emphasizes the fictional moment of literary self-design. "Fiction of strictly real events and facts," was how Serge Doubrovsky defined the term, which has now become established in current research. Thus, although auto-fiction originates from the individual, it detaches itself from actual experienced life and, instead, focuses on it as a design and construct of one's own perception.

To pursue the concept of autofiction by means of literary examples is a concern of the seminar, whereby the reading of Thomas Glavinic's novel Das bin doch ich (2007) at the beginning of the semester is required.
