Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The crime novel, although often criticised for being overly schematic, is one of the most popular literary genres, with the so-called "regional crime novel" having been particularly successful in economic terms for some time now. Regional crime novels are characterised by the linking of the crime plot with local geographical, cultural, historical, socio-political and linguistic contexts, whereby the representation of the region becomes constitutive beyond the construction of a background for the plot itself.
Thus, regional crime novels are particularly suitable for consideration from a literary sociological perspective - be it in relation to the ideas conveyed about the respective region (homeland) and its inhabitants, their (supposed) contribution to identity formation or their significance in the literary world, and much more.

Starting from a jointly developed theoretical basis and an approach to a genre theory and history of the regional crime novel, the primary literature is analysed: The students examine two self-selected examples from the German and Finno-Ugric language area and discuss the results continuously in the course.

In the course, teaching methods such as blended learning, flipped classroom and plenary discussions are used, which requires that the students acquire certain contents independently (= through self-study and outside the lecture time).

Assessment and permitted materials

Attendance and active participation in the course are compulsory.
For positive completion, a short presentation on a given topic (10 minutes) as well as a presentation on a chosen topic within the framework of the course (approx. 20 minutes) and a written paper of 15 pages are required. Please follow the rules of good scientific practice.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance, timely submission of the final paper, presentation of the topic paper.
The topic paper should present the preliminary work done for the final paper (topic identification, formulation of the research question, literature research, planned structure of the paper, perhaps first results).
The final paper must be written according to the rules of good scientific practice and must not fall below the required minimum length (15 pages incl. bibliography). The final paper should demonstrate independent work with the scientific literature (research, reading, analysis and summary and application to the research question posed).

Examination topics

To be announced in the first session.

Reading list
