Anthropology of literature 3222-32AL5K-N
During the classes we will deepen the knowledge in the field that is most often treated as a sub-discipline of literary studies and is related to the theory of literature. We will make an attempt to read selected texts from contemporary Ukrainian literature as manifestations of the record of human experience, as a source of understanding man and his cultural entanglement, in line with the thesis of one of the main theorists of literary anthropology, Ryszard Nycz, that literature is "an institutionalized art of expressing the human experience of reality - in the whole its diversity and specificity ”(Nycz 2006, p. 32). By analyzing specific works, in the context of the indicated theoretical texts, we will pay attention to the mechanisms governing human behavior and the ways of creating the presented world, including the language of the characters, with the help of which they create their truth about reality, about the time in which they live.
