Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Within the semester we will read, discuss, and evaluate literary texts that have appeared during the last few years. The course shall give an overview on recent literature. Methodically we will focus on how to write book reviews. We will analyze texts from different genres to practice methods of literary analysis as well. Selected text fragments will be read together. Afterwards the participants shall individually or in groups focus on a text corresponding to their personal interests, which they will analyze more detailed to write a review about it. Excellent papers may be published on the site for book reviews “Novinki”. The seminar has a focus on literature from Bosnia/Croatia/Montenegro/Serbia; however, the course invites also students from other South Slavic or from Eastern Slavic fields to participate with their individual focus.
