The aim of the course is to impart knowledge on the "great narrative" of oil production in Galicia at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century. Insights into the literary and journalistic texts in different languages (German, Polish and Ukrainian) will be given in comparison and competences in this area will be achieved among the students. Among the German, Jewish (German-speaking), Polish and Ukrainian authors are those who either lived in Galicia or visited the area around Boryslav and Drohobyč -- called the "Galician Pennsylvania" and the "Hell of Boryslav". The theoretical basics will be presented. There are theories that have gained importance in the course of Cultural Turns, especially of Spatial Turn. Particular attention will be paid to the concepts of the Social Space of Henri Lefebvre and Michel de Certeau. The "spatial hermeneutics" of journalism and fiction and the spatial location of the facts of history make it possible to interpret factual and fictional texts as building blocks for historiography. During the seminars, the selected journalistic and belletristic texts are to be read and analyzed with the help of the illustrated theoretical approaches.
