Annotation
The aim of the course is to provide students with an insight into the development of German drama from the 17th century to the present. By each of the epochs not only the specifics will be presented, important is also the contribution to the development of German drama and the relevance to contemporary drama.
The subject was innovated as part of the Program of Comprehensive Innovation of Pre-graduate Teacher Training at the Faculty of Education, Charles University, funded by the Education Policy Fund for 2014. The main form of the seminar is not only interpretation of texts.
Attendance at the Prague German Language Theater Festival is also regular. The first part of the seminars and lectures, which follows the literary disciplines of the bachelor studies, is devoted to the theoretical interpretation of developmental tendencies in German drama in the context of overall literary development and against the backdrop of European political and spiritual events.
The second part of the seminars will deal with modern drama from naturalism to postmodernity and analysis of concrete examples from contemporary stage acts. Content of the seminar: Aesthetic acquisition and analysis of selected dramatic works.
Developing communicative skills in relation to literary and cultural topics. Basic overview of contemporary theater.
To follow various ways of actual interpretation of classical works in the Czech Republic and abroad. The course will be continuously supplemented with a number of current on-line materials on the website of the Moodle e-learning system.
