Kolloquium zur Vorlesung "Text, Book and Culture" - Einzelansicht

This class ("Colloquium") is primarily (but not solely!) designed to allow students visiting the lecture "Text, Book and Culture: An Introduction to Book Studies" a more in-depth discussion of various approaches and case studies in the history of the book and of book studies in general. We will read and discuss texts and sources accompanying the lecture and thereby foster knowledge about and understanding of book studies as a discipline. This colloquium also introduces students to important databases and bibliographies for book studies. 

Students are expected to actively participate. Tasks will be given as a guidance how to spend self-study time. First semester students of the BAPS programme will be asked to curate a dedicated Twitter account throughout the semester, and to write one contribution to the academic blog "Book History and Print Culture Network" (https://bookhistorynetwork.wordpress.com/).
