This biannual learning unit is not being organized in 2019-2020 !
Teacher(s)
Büssgen Antje;
Language
Deutsch
Prerequisites
Introduction to German literature and good knowledge of German (advanced level B2+ as defined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
Main themes
In modern societies, visual media have come to dominate our culture. Philological studies, which traditionally concentrate on text analysis and thereby on the written and how it relates on how we approach the world, have to take this into account.
As a consequence, a paradigm shift from purely linguistic to iconic has occurred in human sciences. Researchers in this area now need the skill to analyze and evaluate the visual side of textual cultural phenomena and in particular their epistemological potential (the creation of meaning which does not pass via word or concept). This is what "research in intermediality" means.
Whereas research in "intertextuality" is already well-developed in French speaking cultures, the concept of "intermediality" has not yet gained the same degree of attention as in English or German speaking cultures. The course is therefore of particular interest to students coming from a French speaking background since they will not only learn about important literary developments in the German language but also about a way of reasoning which may be new to them.
