Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

"Juvenilia" is often taken as a synonym for "immaturity" or used as a term to describe "an artistic work produced in author's youth". In this course, we will explore the far more complex role "juvenilia" plays as a major theme in literary representation.
Considering these texts from different genres and eras, we will investigate how the representation of juvenilia is defined by narrative perspective structure (e.g. retrospection and immediacy) and how point of view shapes the approach of the protagonists towards coming-of-age, social (dis-)integration in the adult-world, or idealisations of youth. We will likewise concentrate on the influence of the socio-historical and cultural contexts on the representation of juvenilia in literary history.
