Learning outcomes

The course is held in German and is aimed at analysing Christoph Martin Wieland’s travel accounts and artworks descriptions published on his magazine Teutscher Merkur (1773-1810). At the end of the course students will have to show to be able to approach Wieland’s texts from an intermedial and intercultural perspective and to properly express their knowledge in German language.

Program

Il Corso è strutturato in un unico modulo (didattica frontale) e si svolge interamente in lingua tedesca. Verranno trattati i seguenti argomenti:
- Gli sviluppi della descrizione di viaggio e dell’ecfrasi in Germania tra Illuminismo e Romanticismo
- Il nesso tra percezione sensoriale, scrittura e lettura
- La capacità del codice verbale di evocare immagini (enargeia)
Bibliografia
- W. Heinse, Düsseldorfer Gemäldebriefe, Frankfurt M., Leipzig, 1996.
- P. Kofler, Wanderschaften durch gedruckte Blätter: Italien in Wielands „Merkur“, Bozen, Innsbruck, Wien, 1997.
Ulteriore bibliografia sarà fornita durante il corso.

Letture canoniche:
- G. E. Lessing, Minna von Barnhelm oder das Soldatenglück. Studienausgabe. Reclam oppure Nathan der Weise. Text und Kontext. Reclam.
- J. W. Goethe, Die Leiden des jungen Werther. Text und Kontext. Reclam.
- Fr. Schiller, Kabale und Liebe. Text und Kontext. Reclam.
- Novalis, Hymnen an die Nacht. Anaconda Verlag.

Manuali di storia della letteratura:
- David Wellbery, Eine neue Geschichte der deutschen Literatur. Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft.
- Wolfgang Beutin, Deutsche Literaturgeschichte von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart. Metzler.

Gli studenti non frequentanti avranno la possibilità di concordare con il docente un programma che, tralasciando l’opera di W. Heinse, approfondisce criticamente l’aspetto della letteratura di viaggio.
