Annotation

Das Studium bietet einen besonderen Blickwinkel auf Literaturen und Kulturen: Wir fragen, welche Zusammenhänge zwischen verschiedenen Medien wie Romanen, Filmen oder Kunstwerken aus unterschiedlichen Zeiten und in unterschiedlichen Sprachen bestehen. Im Masterstudium werden Theorien der Interkulturalität, Intermedialität und Gender Studies vertieft und eine praxisnahe berufliche Orientierung ermöglicht.
