Romance literatures with a focus on Ibero-American literature
The working group Romance literatures with a focus on Ibero-American literature analyses French- and Spanish-language literatures in Europe and various non-European regions (especially in Latin America). Research-wise, the historical focus is on the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and the systematic focus is on the transfer of knowledge between Europe and Latin America during this period. With regard to teaching, the professorship aims to provide an overview of the French- and Spanish-language literatures of the world. It offers insights into the various literary-historical periods and literary currents, and places particular emphasis on imparting the foundations of methodology and literary theory for the study of aesthetic issues.
