Please note: this course is for students of Grundschulpädagogik only.
This course will equip you with the tools and concepts needed to critically analyse children’s and young adult literature from a literary studies perspective. We will read different types of fiction (such as poems, picture books, novels) aimed at different age groups, using them to engage with important terminology and concepts of literary studies. We will practise close reading, critical analysis, and interpretation of primary texts, considering form and content, narrative perspective, character portrayal, plot and setting, as well as framing, themes and motifs. Using secondary literature, we will conceptualise and discuss fictional representations of stereotypes, authenticity, and categories such as 'race', class, and gender.
