CHAIR OF FRENCH STUDIES
The professorship focusses on francophone literatures and cultures from the early modern period to the extrême contemporain and these research areas: Fact and fiction, language migration, media and memory, poetics of the precarious.
From the siècle classique to the extrême contemporain
The Department of French Literature and Cultural Studies represents French and Francophone literatures and cultures in their historical and geographical breadth, both from a literary and cultural studies perspective. In teaching, all periods from the Renaissance to the extrême contemporain are covered; in research (see publications and lectures), the focus is historically on the 17th and 20th/21st centuries and systematically on the following areas: Narratology, borderline phenomena of the literary (literature/history, fact/fiction, literature/photography), gender studies, cultural transfer and language migration, media and collective memory, labour and literature. Towards a poetics of the precarious.
Without neglecting the (literary and cultural) historical dimension in teaching and research, the professorship aims to develop a profile in the field of literatures and cultures of the extrême contemporain. This is because an in-depth understanding of contemporary society can be achieved through an analytical examination of current cultural phenomena and artefacts. At the same time, such a focus in the area of the 'extreme present' can act as a bridge between the various philologies and between the humanities and social sciences, as the corresponding fields of research open up a wide range of opportunities for both inter-faculty and non-university cooperation.
