Learning outcomes
|
In this course students will be introduced to the development of fantastic literature (science fiction, fantasy, fantasy horror) from the time of its beginnings in the 19th century until the present. The tendencies of literary development will be presented on bio- and bibliographical portraits of both Czech and foreign writers and by reading and analysing their key works.
The students will gather an overview of fantastic literature, an important segment of popular culture - nowadays a strong influence - and also get acquainted with literary genres, which the traditionally oriented literary criticism has so far omitted.
