Di 14-16.00 (im zweiwöchigen Rhythmus)
Grundkurs
Introduction to Literary Studies (eine Gruppe)
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. The
Moodle course for Prof. Heyl´s Grundkurs is called Grundkurs (Heyl) WS 22/23 Introduction to Literary Studies. We will
send the password to your university e-mail address (and to this address only).
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
Basics. ISBN-13: 978-3825-235505.
Christoph Heyl, Kleine
Englische Literaturgeschichte. J.B. Metzler. ISBN-13: 978-3476045096.
We
currently assume that teaching will be entirely on campus and in person. This,
however depends on the further development of the Pandemic. Watch this space, and read all e-mails sent
to your official university e-mail address.
Bemerkung: Die Einführungsveranstaltung in die
Literaturwissenschaft besteht aus der Vorlesung “Introduction to Literary
Studies” und einem sie ergänzenden Grundkurs, in dem das in der Vorlesung
behandelte Fachwissen an exemplarischen Beispielen veranschaulicht und vertieft
wird. Vorlesung und Grundkurs 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.). Vorlesung und
Grundkurs bilden also eine Einheit, Sie müssen unbedingt beides besuchen. Es
gibt nur eine Vorlesung (von Prof. Heyl gehalten), aber mehrere Personen bieten
Grundkurse an. Sie melden sich bitte unbedingt nur für einen dieser Grundkurse
an, auf keinen Fall für mehrere.
