GK-Introduction to Literary Studies
Lukas Lammers
Kommentar
This lecture offers an introduction to the study of English literatures. It invites students to reflect on what one does when interacting with texts and familiarizes them with common approaches to analyzing poetry, prose, and drama, as well as broader topics like rhetoric, genre theory, literary history, and various schools of literary criticism. The primary goal of the lecture is to enhance students’ abilities as independent, critical readers, who combine the pleasure of reading with a more systematic approach to literature that is interested in the effects of literature on readers and the world.
The lecture is accompanied by a weekly seminar where these questions, concepts, and methods will be discussed in smaller groups. Students are required to enroll separately for one of the PS ‘Working with Literary Texts’.
The lecture will be conducted in English. Please note that while attendance is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. To successfully complete the module, students will need to actively participate in the seminar (including assignments), follow the lecture series, and take the 90-minute final exam at the end of the semester. The exam will cover the contents discussed in both the lecture and the seminar.
This lecture is a live, in-person event. It will not be streamed or recorded. Slides will be made available after each session.
