| Prerequisites |
Prerequisites : an introductory knowledge of Dutch literature and a good proficiency in Dutch (advanced level, B2 + in terms of the Common European reference framework).
|
| Main themes |
In-depth analysis of a literary genre and its expressions in Dutch literature. In-depth reading of theoretical texts concerning the studied genre. Critical analysis of Dutch literary texts belonging to the studied genre.
|
| Aims |
The aim of the course is to acquire a deeper insight into a literary genre (for instance: poetry, theatre, the short story or the "kortverhaal"). The students will analyse the origins and characteristics of the studied genre, why it was practised more often in certain periods than in others, and what are its important expressions in Dutch and other European literatures.
This approach is a continuation of the courses on history of literature and civilisation of the bachelor programme, and makes use of previously acquired insights into literary theory. It aims to increase the students' literary knowledge and to develop a critical attitude towards the interpretation of literary texts in their adequate context. This approach also aims to teach the students how to write a critical essay in the studied field.
