Comparative Universal Literature - Modern Language and Literature

The Comparative Universal Literature Bachelor program outlines cultural differences and enables the dialogue between national literatures by its transdisciplinary opening toward anthropology, sociology, history of the ideas, research of the imaginary, cultural studies, digital humanities and medical humanities. The courses vary from Ancient to Modern and contemporary literature to Literary geographies or Postmodern mythologies, offering insights into different national literatures within a universal context.

The specialization can be combined with English as a segment B language. The mandatory courses follow the historical evolution of English and American literature (the Medieval and Renaissance English literature, the literature of the Enlightenment, the poetry of the 18th century and Romanticism, the literature of the Victorian Era, the English literature of the 20th century, contemporary English literature, American literature) and developing students’ knowledge of traditional linguistics (phonetics, lexicology, morphology, syntax, language history) and theoretical linguistics (formal semantics, generative grammar).
