  • Course: Literary History and Literary Studies
  • Time: Thursday 14.30-16.00h
  • Venue: A13 0-027
  • Course Description: This course is designed to accompany the lecture ‘Introduction to Literary History and Textual Analysis’ with additional discussions of the ideas, theories, and texts mentioned there. The course is meant to add to students' construction of a ‘narrative’ of this field, or, in other words, to students’ understanding of the history and culture of literary studies as an academic discipline. Why do we read certain texts? Why do we read them with certain ‘analysis tools’? Each week, we will discuss the contents of the lecture and read texts that will open up this perspective, e.g., by Jonathan Culler, Olaf Simons, Ian Hunter, Catherine Gallagher, etc.
