The aim of the course is to familiarise the students
with literary studies: its terminology, goals, development and methodology. The
course also explains relations between contemporary literary studies and other
areas of reflection in the humanities (e.g., philosophy, aesthetics,
linguistics, anthropology, psychology and semiotics). The focus in the lectures
is on basic terms, distinctions and classifications. The goal of discussion
classes is to deepen students’ knowledge of selected terminology in literary
theory through the analysis of source texts and application of these texts and
theoretical tools to interpretation of literary works.
