Programme selection →What you study
In the sense of the English term "modernity", which describes both the historical epoch of modern times and the specific social experience of modernity, literary and cultural phenomena are the focus of this course. With the help of approaches from literary studies and cultural studies, you will deal with different methodological procedures and their explanatory power and apply these methods to modern subject areas.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
