Learning outcomes
|
The seminar is a follow-up to the introductory course "Cultural Studies" and will focus on the phenomena of national identity, "the own" and "the foreign" and the way how these categories are expressed in selected works of German- and Czech-writing novelists since 1918. We will analyze not only stereotypes about Czechs, Austrians and Germans but also examine how these stereotypes change in the course of transfer from one language into the other. The seminar also traces the development of images of Czechs, Austrians and Germans in relation to the 20th century's turbulent political changes.
Students - are able to define basic imagological terms and apply them - know historical contexts of Czech and German-language literature since 1918 - are able to analyze and interpret works of literature or art independently
