Course objectives
This seminar's objective is to theoretically and practically prepare the students in their 1st term of Czech studies for the literary seminars starting in the 2nd term. In the end of this course, students should be able to make progress from the analysis of the text to interpretation of the text in broader historical, literary, and genealogical context (genres, styles), as well as develop a better understanding of the literary work.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- identify the signs of literariness and non-literariness in a text;
- read and interpret a literary work on a higher level;
- identify a variety of literary genres;
- to analyze various literary genres in connection to the transformation of literary movements and styles;
- to create relevant notes on an already read work of literature for the reader's diary or catalogue.
