PS-Working with Literary Texts
Sophie Kriegel
Kommentar
This seminar is designed to be taken in conjunction with the lecture “Introduction to Literary Studies: Basic Questions, Concepts, and Methods.” The two courses follow a similar structure and are closely connected. The seminar provides a space to explore in more detail concepts presented in the lecture and apply them by engaging with a variety of lyrical, narrative, and dramatic texts. In addition, students will read a small selection of critical texts which introduce them to some of the central theoretical frameworks in literary studies. Finally, the class will also include a section on academic writing and research techniques, anticipating the term papers to be written in the Aufbauphase. Overall, the seminar thus aims to enable students to understand and contextualise a historically and generically diverse range of texts and to speak and write about them in structured ways. Most of the readings as well as a full list of required texts and other important information will be made available in the first session. The class will be conducted in English.
Registration
To be able to participate in a course you will need to sign up for it in Campus Management. There are several parallel seminars for this module (17301, 17302 …), which are identical in terms of content/materials.
The number of participants per class is limited (Teilnahmebeschränkung). Therefore, unlike in most other modules, you cannot immediately enroll in one of the seminars. Instead, you will be prompted to select preferences. Places will be assigned by the system based on your choices. Please note that individual lecturers cannot enroll you in a seminar.
Before the first session, make sure to check which seminar you have been assigned to. For deadlines and further information on the process see here: https://www.fu-berlin.de/sites/campusmanagement/N3InfoStudenten/Anmeldezeitraum/index.html

To complete the module and receive the full credits students will have to attend regularly, participate in in-class discussions, submit three short written assignments and pass the final exam (90 minutes; at the end of term; based on both the lecture and the seminar).
Blackboard
There will be a Blackboard site for this course. Normally, courses which you sign up to via Campus Management should be added to your Blackboard account automatically. Please doublecheck. Also note that the individual Blackboard sites will become available only shortly before the start of the seminar.
