Literary Studies
Research in literary studies
Literary Studies focuses on research and teaching in the field of modern Slavic literatures (1890-1940). From a historical and comparative perspective, it combines institutional and poetological approaches that also allow the study of 'smaller' Slavic literatures. The literary profile of Slavic Studies is part of the literary research focus on the constitution of modern literature within the philologies of School III, where it is characterised in particular by the sub-focus on comparative field theory.
