Di 14-16.00 (alle zwei Wochen, erste Sitzung: 12. Oktober)
Grundkurs zur
Introduction to Literary Studies
This course
serves as a complement to the lecture "Introduction to Literary
Studies". Basic topics introduced in the lecture will be discussed in
detail in each of the courses, with a particular focus on the most important
literary genres – poetry, drama and narrative fiction. We will help you to
acquire a good command of the basic analytical techniques in the field of
Anglophone literary studies. The structure of all Introductory Courses to
Literary Studies (Grundkurse) is
identical. A variety of texts will help illustrate important aspects of
literature such as the characteristics of the major epochs and genres, literary
theories as well as various approaches to literature, etc. The texts to be
discussed will be taken from a number of regions across the Anglophone world. You
need to read and prepare texts in advance of sessions and actively participate
in the classroom debates on a regular basis, and you will also need to write a
number of short assignments. Once again: You must take both the lecture and one
of the Grundkurse. This Moodle course for Prof. Heyl´s
Grundkurs is called Grundkurs (Heyl) WS
21/22 Introduction to Literary Studies. The Password is
Grundkurs_Heyl_Intro_Literary_Studies_WS_20-21
You will need the Reader, and you will also
need to buy and read the following two books for your Grundkurs as well as for
the lecture:
Michael
Meyer, English and American Literatures. 4. Auflage. UTB

Bemerkung: Die Einführungsveranstaltung in die
Literaturwissenschaft besteht aus der Vorlesung “Introduction to Literary
Studies” und einem sie ergänzenden Seminar/Grundkurs, in dem das in der
Vorlesung behandelte Fachwissen an exemplarischen Beispielen veranschaulicht
und vertieft wird. Vorlesung und Seminar wechseln das gesamte Semester hindurch
wochenweise ab (in einer Woche gehen Sie also in die Vorlesung, in der nächsten
ins Seminar, in der nächsten wieder in die Vorlesung usw.). Das Seminar ist der
ergänzende Pflicht-Grundkurs zur Vorlesung „Introduction to Literary Studies“,
Vorlesung und Seminar bilden also eine Einheit.
