This introductory course is offered in the first semester to familiarize students with the basic concepts and techniques of literary/cultural studies. The realm of subjects will thus be a wide one, including fundamental knowledge of and analytical tools for the genres of poetry, plays, and prose fiction. We will practice close reading, discuss its merits and think about role of theory and methods for our grasp of literary and cultural phenomena.
The course will be accompanied by a tutorial that will give students the chance to discuss the content of the course. Your tutor, Paraskevi Petroglou, will provide useful insights and assistance in practicing your skills.
The course is obligatory; as are course quizzes and a final test in the form of an 'in-class'-exam at the end of the term, which will certify the obligatory participation.
PLEASE NOTE: “Erstsemester” students of BA-LKM (or retake candidates) focusing on English must take one “Introduction to Literary and Cultural Studies” course TOGETHER with the survey lecture in M1.2 IN THE SAME SEMESTER ("History of Drama II").
