Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students in two semester cycles with the meaningful possibilities of works of European and Czech literature from the end of antiquity to the end of the 1980s. The aim is to introduce the most important developments, trends, works and authors, with an emphasis on forms of domestic reflection on European themes and an attempt to understand the historical and social contexts that influenced the emergence of individual literary texts. In view of the specificities of the curriculum, the course also aims to introduce beautiful literature as a historical source that expands knowledge of the past in the discourse of the history of mentalities and historical anthropology. Last but not least, the course is a desirable contribution to the methods of knowing the history of culture (in the form of traditional literary history).
The student is familiar with the history of literature and literary history. The student understands the differences between the two concepts. Understands the importance of fiction as a narrative source for history. The student is able to independently discuss the most important personalities of domestic and Czech literature. Can identify trends that are key to historical development. Knows the works that enable the so-called history of everyday life to be known.
