Aims
The aim of the course is to acquire a deeper insight into a literary genre in German speaking literatures. 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 how it is renewing and adapting itself to new periods.
Main themes
In-depth analysis of a literary genre and its expressions in German literature: the ballad (poetry), Novelle/ Kurzgeschichte (prose), theatre, etc. In-depth reading of the primary literature and selective reading of theoretical texts concerning the studied genre.
Content and teaching methods

Method: Preparatory reading and research done by the students in order to be able to take part in the analysis of the texts. If possible, the course will be organised as a seminar.
