About this programme

This programme examines the literatures and cultures of Europe and their historical, systematic and sociocultural relevance, from ancient times to the present. The focus is on literary-cultural processes of production, reception and exchange, both within Europe and between Europe and other cultural areas. Special attention is devoted to the interplay between literary tradition and innovation, and to the productive connections between literature and other arts, media and forms of cultural knowledge. The programme's approach is decidedly comparative and interdisciplinary; it combines theory and methods from the fields of philology as well as from cultural and media studies. The objective of the programme is to impart deepened knowledge of European literatures and cultures, in terms of both their historical origins and their present structures. Students learn to reflect according to methodological-theoretical models and to analyse complex literary and cultural phenomena. Integral to the programme is the attainment of comprehensive competence in dealing with inter- and transcultural issues, as well as the strengthening of practical skills within the field of literary and cultural exchange at home and abroad.
