230149 Literarische Mehrsprachigkeit (S) (WiSe 2026/2027)

Contents, comment

Das Seminar geht von der von Till Dembeck formulierten These aus, dass es keine einsprachigen literarischen Texte gibt: Die Vorstellung der Einsprachigkeit geht an einer Realität des Sprachkontakts und der innersprachlichen Differenzierung vorbei. In diesem Masterseminar nähern wir uns dem Phänomen literarischer Mehrsprachigkeit aus theoretischer und historischer Perspektive an und erproben die erarbeiteten Perspektiven an Erzähltexten des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts (z.B. von Theodor Storm, Thomas Mann oder Gustav Meyrink).
