Learning outcomes
|
The lectures follow the World Literature I and due to this subject they are conceived as an extension cycle. Attention is focused on selected authorial poetics and on the structures of artistic directions, streams, groups and genres. The selection of topics is determined mainly by the authors and works of the high school canon, but does not avoid overlaps with topics that deepen the context of previous knowledge. The focus of interpretation is on "later" literature. Seminar teaching complements the analysis of the shared interpretation of selected works. The control of the study is performed in a written form (exam), which will stem from the reading of students.
