Course objectives (in Czech)

Wozu benötigt die Gegenwartsliteratur noch eine nationale Eingrenzung?
Worin besteht der Sinn für den Begriff "Österreichische Gegenwartsliteratur"?
Und worin zeigen sich Besonderheiten und Entwicklungen dieses Begriffs?
In diesem Seminar sollen österreichische Autorinnen und Autoren der Gegenwart näher beleuchtet werden.
Dabei sollen einerseits deren Biografien, andererseits auch deren jeweilige Werke in einen weiteren Kontext dargestellt werden.
In einem weiteren Schritt werden stilistische oder thematische Besonderheiten der Literaten besprochen und auch über mögliche Interpretationen der Werke diskutiert.
Außerdem wird jedes Werk in Beziehung zu einer literarischen Gattung oder Themenstellung gesetzt und diskutiert.
Am Ende des Seminars sollen die Studierenden einen Überblick der neueren österreichischen Autorengeneration und ein Grundwissen über die Literaturlandschaft des heutigen Österreichs besitzen.
