Course content
|
While constructing the picture of Germany we realise that an important role is played by the so called German Anthologies. Although they are devised predominantly for German inhabitants, they are also an important target of the investigative interest from the point of view of intercultural German studies and xenology. This viewpoint will be applied to the seminar and the anthology of texts analysed there will be Die deutsche Seele from 2011 edited by Theo Dorn and Richard Wagner.

Students will acquire a survey of the current discourse on Germany and the Germans the Germans, built on the basis of anthologies of literary texts which contribute to creating pictures about Germany and the Germans and influence them as well. They will create the ability to look at these texts from both views, the phenological and intercultural and thus be able to develop a critical reflection on them.
