Seminar in Modern Ukrainian Literature 3222-30LW2K-N
This course will introduce you to contemporary Ukrainian literature as a collection of individual voices that, through practices of collective reading and interpretation, are transformed into a common experience. Beginning with a discussion of the modern, modernist, and contemporary, we will explore contemporary literature as post-totalitarian, post-colonial and post-modern. Aesthetic exploration and linguistic inventions will be considered in the context of social challenges, historical traumas, and the inheritance of a multicultural and multilingual tradition; students will come to understand contemporary Ukrainian literature as both an "unexpected phenomenon” and as participating in a rich, thousand-year tradition that serves as a key to understanding Ukrainian identity today.
If it is not possible to conduct classes in a stationary form, classes will be held using distance communication tools, most likely Google Meet and others recommended by the University of Warsaw.
