Children's literature (Seminar)

Inhalt: Children's literature has, since its beginnings in the 18th century, been a source both of entertainment and instruction for child readers as well as a product which reflects adults' perceptions of children and the choices that they make regarding what literature is suitable for the young. It is addressed to a wide range of readers from pre-literate toddlers to young adults and encompasses an equally wide range of genres including picturebooks, traditional folk and fairy tales, novels, poetry, and informational books. In this seminar, you will become familiar with a selection of literature in the English-speaking cultures across time, and learn to appreciate this branch of literature through close reading and work with different critical approaches. You will examine the distinctive qualities of children’s literature, explore the relation of didacticism and entertainment in texts for children at different historical periods, and consider the changing concepts of the child and its influence on the production of children's literature.

Contemporary Irish short stories (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Emer O'Sullivan

Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 08:15 - 09:45 | 01.04.2019 - 05.07.2019 | C 5.310 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Ireland has produced some of the world's most celebrated short story writers – and continues to do so. This seminar will examine the theory of the short story generally and ask specifically why the Irish are thought to be so good at the form, and why the short story has been such a central and influential narrative form in modern Irish literature. We will look at the work of leading contemporary writers such as Roddy Doyle, Hugo Hamilton, Claire Keegan, Éilís ní Dhuibhne and others, with a look back to classic authors such as Frank O'Connor.
