Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art abides by its own rules and conventions. Thus, an important yardstick for evaluating aesthetic excellence has been the question whether or not in a given text an author has been able to create something new within the narrow confines of generic convention. There has always been an alternative tradition of 'anti-texts', however, which defy the dictate of convention and make rule-breaking their central concern. This course focusses on the non-conforming, the non-conventional and the disruptive. During the next fourteen weeks we will be exploring the aesthetics of texts which stretch the linguistic medium to its very limits, routinely treading the delicate line where the difficult turns into the incomprehensible. In this course, we will look at stories, poems and plays which are excessively static or repetitive, show ontological frame-breaking or a contradictory chronology, construct radically mutable characters or present multiple and/or irreducibly incompatible versions of story events. Experimental texts may sport radically deviant features in their material make-up (such as books with loose pages or holes in them) or attempt to create a intermedial hybrid by merging the linguistic medium with music or the visual arts. Studying radical transgression will bring basic epistemological and generic conventions into focus and will challenge our perception of what is 'realistic' and 'natural'.
