Research Colloquium - Einzelansicht

This research colloquium provides students in Anglophone Modernities with the opportunity to study and critically engage with various current approaches to literary and cultural studies. Advanced students can also present their own MA projects and receive feedback. In addition, we will make time to discuss the process of writing an MA thesis.

Please note that the central approaches discussed in this particular colloquium are psychoanalysis, structuralism/ formalism and hermeneutics. Students who have already attended and passed a colloquium focusing on these approaches are requested to opt for an alternative course.
