German Literature and Intermedial Studies
A.Y. 2019/2020
Learning objectives
The course aims at introducing the study of German Literature in intermedial perspective and at consolidating competences of analysis, interpretation, methodologies and argumentative skills in German with regard to German and Comparative studies. Through the combination and the interrelation of different art languages and the adaption of a text into another medium the course will substantiate the theoretical approaches thanks to examples, which will be discussed in the class in order to allow an individual scientific work.
Expected learning outcomes
With respect to the Dublin Descriptors following learning outcomes are expected:
Knowledge and understanding: essential features of theories and methods of German literature in intermedial perspective, with particular regard to contemporary theoretical approaches of German studies; knowledge of the fundamental patterns of interpretation and of significant examples.
Applying knowledge and understanding: ability to analyse texts of German Literature and their intermedial adaptions; ability to discuss in German in a workshop contest and to apply the learned methodologies to other texts; capacity to use the competences acquired in the course to write a scientific paper in German.
