The second part of the Basismodul focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering seven parallel courses (supported by tutorials). Please make sure that you are registered under one of these in Stud.IP and open a wiki account which will enable you to participate in online discussions.
All parallel courses have a common structure, but each course may differ in emphasis. The texts for our courses will come from a common pool, though each course may have a different choice. You will find information relating to your course under the individual course number and lecturer.
The "analytical tools" will be presented by the lectures (on a handout) in each meeting. The additional reading from which these 'tools' are taken is not obligatory, and it can be done either before or after each session.
Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below) and as a master copy at Wersig. In addition you will need to purchase two books:
William Shakespeare. Antony and Cleopatra [1623]. Ed. John Wilders. Arden Shakespeare. Third edition, [1995] 2002.
- ISBN 10-190-427101-4 ISBN 13-978-190427101-7
- ca. 14 EUR at the CvO bookshop
Robert Louis Stevenson. The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde [1886]. Ed. Katherine B. Linehan. New York: Norton, 2003.
- ISBN 10-039-397465-0 ISBN 13-978-039397465-2

Course work: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (in week 4, 7 and 11 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (due August 15 2008). The assignments are limited to a max. of 2-3 pages of text, formatted according to the style sheet, and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively. For the Research Paper Outline you will need to find your own topic to work on and document the preliminary work (this includes finding an appropriate title, writing a paragraph that describes your problem and your goal, and presenting a tentative table of contents as well as a short bibliography).
Tutorials will help you to practise your analysis skills and support you in doing your assignments and Research Paper Outline.
