Methodically supported, text-oriented interpretation of selected texts; ability to identify and to describe the relation between social, literary and cultural history; academic description and discussion of mechanisms of reception and canonisation

The focus is on the critical re-reading and contextualization of selected books of regional Tyrolean literature from the period 1890 to 1990. On the one hand, we acquire the necessary knowledge of the history, the cultural and social framework and conditions of origin of the texts, and we work out well-founded formal and content-related analyzes and interpretations . This results in area comments on the books, which - in joint discussions - will be the basis for a reassessment from today's perspective. Topics of literature communication, canon formation and distribution conditions are to be discussed in the course of the seminar.

Short frontal lectures, analysis and discussion of the texts based on kick-off presentations and individual reading of the texts
