Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Students are expected to read the material for each session and to actively participate in the classroom discussions. These discussions can take on various forms of work, from debates over group work to creative engagements with the texts.
Each student has to do one expert task that will train academic research skills and the oral presentation of key findings. The portfolio includes three written tasks over the course of the semester. This portfolio allows students to practice different methods of critical literary analysis – including creative approaches.
Finally, all students have to write their proseminar paper, analysing chosen reworkings of myths independently, combining all skills above.
Oral and written tasks will both be graded according to the grids introduced in the first session. Creative writing will be assessed on a passed/failed basis and will be peer-reviewed.

Close readings of the primary texts will be supplemented by secondary literature on conceptualisations of myth itself and on Greco-Roman mythology in particular. We will also revise various analytical methods and theoretical approaches, and students will have the chance to further develop their analytical and academic writing skills, as well as gain basic theoretical tools for the critical analysis and interpretation of literary texts.By the end of the course, students will be able to …
… develop a contextualized understanding of characters and motifs from Greco-Roman mythology.
… contribute to the discourses surrounding myth and its relevance today.
… write longer academic papers in literary studies.
