Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Of the many motivations for reading a text, immersion is the one which has the most palpable, even physical effect. Thrilling texts can produce goose pimples and moist hands, emotional scenes bring tears to our eyes, and the description of an erotically charged scene may lead to quickened heartbeats and other reactions besides... In this course, we will investigate the phenomenon of immersivity, analyse its various types and forms and follow its changing course throughout the different stages of literary history. Reading texts from diverse genres and media will help us appreciate the genre-specific features of this reader-reception phenomenon.
