Analysis and interpretation of the literary text 3221-S1-FBA-AIT12-OG

During the exercises, we discuss selected issues concerning the complexity of interpretation of literary works. Various methodological approaches to the theory of literature are presented: hermeneutics, structuralism, poststructuralism, postcolonialism. The methods of analyzing and interpreting the text and its criticisms are discussed in detail. Theoretical issues are connected with interpretative practice, aiming at showing the multi-level understanding of the literary text and extending the interpretative abilities of students. During this part of the class will be analyzed various literary texts.
