Literatur, Theater, Kino und visuelle Künste/ Literature, theatre, cinema and visual arts is one of the characterising modules of the programme. The aim of the course is to refine the ability to understand and critically analyse literary texts and to carry out bibliographical research drawing on primary and secondary sources; to communicate disciplinary content at an advanced level; and to deepen linguistic-communicative skills in the German language.
At the end of the module students will be able to: analyse with greater competence the themes and phenomena of the history of German-language literature understood in its multiple relations with the history of other media such as theatre, cinema and the visual arts; develop practical and theoretical skills at an advanced level with reference to the analysis of literature as part of a more general history of the media.
