Throughout the course learners will be encouraged: 1. To have an understanding of the key stages in the development of world literature, major philosophical and aesthetic movements and trends, as well as the canonical texts studied within core courses. 2. To be able to apply fundamental concepts of literary theory and literary history in analysis. 3. To possess sufficient skills in literary analysis.

The course explores how periods of crisis are understood through their representation in literature and the arts, drawing on the concepts of epistemological rupture and liminality. Particular attention is paid to the ways contemporary Western literature engages with crisis across diverse historical contexts, from antiquity to the present. The course adopts an interdisciplinary approach, grounded in theoretical frameworks from related fields such as philosophy and cultural studies, and employs an intermedial methodology to examine how these issues are articulated across different art forms. It develops critical thinking, deepens understanding of the relationship between literature, art, and complex historical and cultural contexts, and enhances skills in literary analysis.
