Subject Area "Modern German Literary Studies/Literary Didactics"
The subject area sees itself as an interdisciplinary field of research at the interface of subject-specific and didactic discourses. It thus extends beyond the boundaries of German studies and seeks synergy effects that are achieved through the reflection of literary-aesthetic forms against the background of media studies, philosophical and political science discourses. The spectrum of media examined ranges from the 18th century to the present day and includes classical literary works as well as pop-cultural forms and digital formats.
Current focal points in research and teaching:
- Ethical and aesthetic (media) education
- Aesthetic understanding and non-understanding
- Literary discourses on Europe and European education
- Political literature
- Radio plays and audio books
- Children's and youth literature
- Intercultural literary studies and literary didactics
- Media didactics
- Political theater in German lessons
