Culture and Language

In this module literature is considered within the context of cultural history and the intercultural aspect of European literature is examined. The idea of interculturality is examined in several steps and analysed in detail using various theoretical approaches and literary examples. Key cultural studies’ questions accompany the students throughout the semesters and the phenomena of trans-, inter- and multiculturalism are dealt with especially with regard to the literature of European pre-modernity. For example, multilingualism is considered as a theoretical idea and an historical fact, but at the same time experienced practically by international students who take language courses in German and/or the languages of the universities at which they are staying (Bulgarian, Spanish, French … ).
