==Analysing Dramatic Communication. Short Glossary of Concepts==

'''Dramatic communication''' differs from narrative by its multimedial form of presentation, and by the general absence of narrative mediation.

'''Exposition''' is “the transmission of information to do with the events and situations from the past that determine the dramatic present” (86).
It must be distinguished from the “dramatic introduction” although both may coincide.

'''Monologue''' may be defined by two alternative criteria:
*Structural criterion: “length and degree of autonomy of a particular speech”
*Situational criterion: “the speaker’s solitude” (=soliloquy)

Soliloquies may be
*conventional or motivated;
*premeditated or spontaneously improvised;
*actional or informative.

'''“Aside”''': The speaker does not address any other person on the stage; but he or she is not alone. Asides may be addressed to the audience.

'''Dialogue''' will be analysed according to the relative length of individual speeches; the number of interruptions; the domination of one speaker or one idea.

'''Discrepant awareness''':
*What differences are there between the levels of awareness of the various dramatic figures at any particular stage?
*What differences are there between the levels of awareness of fictional figures and audience at any particular stage? (50)

'''Dramatic Irony''' is “the superior awareness of the audience adds an additional layer of meaning to either the verbal utterance or the non-verbal behaviour of a figure on stage in such a way as to contradict or undermine the meaning intended by that figure” (56).

2007 BM1 Introduction to Literature, Part 2

2007-04-11T19:14:48Z

134.106.88.48: /* Fiction 2 */

The second part of our Basismodule 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 in Stud.IP both for the main page of the module and for your individual course.
All parallel courses have a common structure, but each course may differ in emphasis. You will find information relating to all the courses on this page, and the pages for the individual courses for information on your course:

* [[2007 BM1-A Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-A Olaf Simons, Mo 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-B Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-B Anton Kirchhofer, Tu 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-C Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-C Olaf Simons, Tu 14-16]]

* [[2007 BM1-F Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-F Katharina Schneider, AK, OS, Fr 8-10]]
* [[2007 BM1-G Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-G Annika McPherson, Tu 12-14]]

* Tutorials:

:* [[2007 BM1T-B Introduction to Literature, Part 2|Christina Stindl, Fr 12-14, A5 1-159]]

The texts for our courses will come from a common pool, though each course may have a different choice. You should make sure to read at least those texts that are dealt with in your course.

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.

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 the Shakespeare play read in your course in an Arden Edition (ca. 14 EUR at the CvO bookshop).

Course work: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (in week 4, 7 and 10 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (due August 15 2007). 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 and a short bibliography).

Tutorials will help you to practise your analysis skills and support you in doing your assignments and Research Paper Outline.

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 and a short bibliography).

Tutorials will help you to practise your analysis skills and support you in doing your assignments and Research Paper Outline.

2007 BM1 Introduction to Literature, Part 2

2007-04-07T11:52:46Z

134.106.88.48: /* Rhetoric */

The second part of our Basismodule 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 in Stud.IP both for the main page of the module and for your individual course.
All parallel courses have a common structure, but each course may differ in emphasis. You will find information relating to all the courses on this page, and the pages for the individual courses for information on your course:

* [[2007 BM1-A Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-A Olaf Simons, Mo 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-B Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-B Anton Kirchhofer, Tu 14-16]]

:* [[2007 BM1T-B Introduction to Literature, Part 2|Christina Stindl, Fr 12-14, A5 1-159]]

The texts for our courses will come from a common pool, though each course may have a different choice. You should make sure to read at least those texts that are dealt with in your course.

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.

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 the Shakespeare play read in your course in an Arden Edition (ca. 14 EUR at the CvO bookshop).

Course work: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (in week 4, 7 and 10 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (due August 15 2007).

2007 BM1 Introduction to Literature, Part 2

2007-04-07T09:29:27Z

134.106.88.48: /* Dramatic Structures, Dramatic Communication */

The second part of our Basismodule 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 in Stud.IP both for the main page of the module and for your individual course.
All parallel courses have a common structure, but each course may differ in emphasis. You will find information relating to all the courses on this page, and the pages for the individual courses for information on your course:

* [[2007 BM1-A Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-A Olaf Simons, Mo 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-B Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-B Anton Kirchhofer, Tu 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-C Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-C Olaf Simons, Tu 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-D Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-D Anna Auguscik, Tu 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-E Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-E Olaf Simons, We 16-18]]
* [[2007 BM1-F Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-F Katharina Schneider, AK, OS, Fr 8-10]]
* [[2007 BM1-G Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-G Annika McPherson, Tu 12-14]]

* Tutorials:
:* [[2007 BM1T-A Introduction to Literature, Part 2|John Alistair Kühne, Mo 8-10, A10 1-121a]]
:* [[2007 BM1T-B Introduction to Literature, Part 2|Christina Stindl, Fr 12-14, A5 1-159]]

The texts for our courses will come from a common pool, though each course may have a different choice. You should make sure to read at least those texts that are dealt with in your course.

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.

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 the Shakespeare play read in your course in an Arden Edition (ca. 14 EUR at the CvO bookshop).

Course work: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (in week 4, 7 and 10 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (due August 15 2007). 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.

2007 BM1 Introduction to Literature, Part 2

2007-04-07T09:26:42Z

134.106.88.48: /* Poetry and Poetics: Speaking about Beautiful/Artful Language */

The second part of our Basismodule 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 in Stud.IP both for the main page of the module and for your individual course.
All parallel courses have a common structure, but each course may differ in emphasis. You will find information relating to all the courses on this page, and the pages for the individual courses for information on your course:

* [[2007 BM1-A Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-A Olaf Simons, Mo 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-B Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-B Anton Kirchhofer, Tu 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-C Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-C Olaf Simons, Tu 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-D Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-D Anna Auguscik, Tu 14-16]]
* [[2007 BM1-E Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-E Olaf Simons, We 16-18]]
* [[2007 BM1-F Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-F Katharina Schneider, AK, OS, Fr 8-10]]
* [[2007 BM1-G Introduction to Literature, Part 2|2007 BM1-G Annika McPherson, Tu 12-14]]

* Tutorials:
:* [[2007 BM1T-A Introduction to Literature, Part 2|John Alistair Kühne, Mo 8-10, A10 1-121a]]
:* [[2007 BM1T-B Introduction to Literature, Part 2|Christina Stindl, Fr 12-14, A5 1-159]]

The texts for our courses will come from a common pool, though each course may have a different choice. You should make sure to read at least those texts that are dealt with in your course.

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.

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 the Shakespeare play read in your course in an Arden Edition (ca. 14 EUR at the CvO bookshop).

Course work: You will be asked to hand in three assignments (in week 4, 7 and 10 respectively) and produce a Research Paper Outline (due August 15 2007). 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 and a short bibliography).

Tutorials will help you to practise your analysis skills and support you in doing your assignments and Research Paper Outline.

William Blake, Jerusalem (1804)

==Text==

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England's mountains green:

And was the holy Lamb of God,

On England's pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was Jerusalem builded here,

Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold:

Bring me my Arrows of desire:

Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!

Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,

Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:

Till we have built Jerusalem,

In England's green & pleasant Land.
