Aims, contents and method of the course

In order to prepare participants for writing their first individual term paper, we will repeat various methods of literary analysis and apply them to canonical texts of Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian literatures. These include narratology and structuralism, psychoanalytic text readings, concepts from postcolonial and gender studies etc. We will work together on pieces of early and newer literature, taking into account epical, lyrical and dramatic texts.

We will lay a focus on literary works about transgenerational trauma, i.e. about the heritage of traumatic experiences across generations. After an introduction to this topic the students give group presentations, applying the methods revised together to selected texts. With the help of their supervisor every student develops his/her own research question and hands in a seminary paper on the same topic.

Teaching language is German. Depending on the language level of the participants, primary sources will be read in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian or bilingually.

We will lay a focus on literary works about migration experiences, i.e. about the geographical transition of characters and the impacts on their identity and individual development of a self-concept. After an introduction to this topic the students give group presentations, applying the methods revised together to selected texts. With the help of their supervisor every student develops his/her own research question and hands in a seminary paper on the same topic.
