Learning outcomes
|
Lectures continue in "Selected chapters from foreign literature I" and because of that fact, they are kind of extension subject. We focus our attention to selected Writer´s poetics, to structures of art movements, groups of artists and genres. Selection of topics orients mostly to writers and literary pieces of school canon, but it does not reject an extended content, that deepens context of previous knowledge. Central point of the subject is "newer" literature. During seminar lessons teacher completes explications with interpretations of selected literary pieces. There is a final written revision at the end of the semester and oral examination (that stands on list of books read by a student).
Student is sectionally oriented in the selected problems of development and changes of european and american literature; he is able to understand the genre traditions, move of the themes and creative processes characteristic for each period. He is being acquainted with the most significant works of world literature and with interpretation of theit meaning; he gains intepretative competency.
