36485-03 - Proseminar: Introduction II: Literary Theory 3 CP

Semester spring semester 2022
Course frequency Every spring sem.
Lecturers Ridvan Askin (ridvan.askin@unibas.ch, Assessor)
Content This course is dedicated to reading and analyzing a selection of theoretical texts. These will be discussed with regard to the literary material dealt with in the first semester. The course also includes a second library and database tutorial that follows on from the tutorial students attended in the fall term.
Learning objectives Students will engage with and learn how to read theoretical texts, placing literary texts in the context of literary theories, and gaining knowledge of how to compare different theoretical arguments in order to develop arguments of their own.
Bibliography All texts will be made available on ADAM. Note that Jonathan Culler's "What is Theory?" must be read for the first meeting.
Comments This is primarily a methodological course; emphasis is put on the skills necessary for dealing with theoretical texts. The course is closely related to Philipp Schweighauser's lecture "Theory Survey I/II: Literary and Cultural Theory" (23062-01).
