Educational goals:
The course aims at introducing the student to Heinrich von Kleist's narrative works and tragical vision of human life.
Course contents:
Shocked in his hopes by the discovery of Kant's philosphy, Heinrich voon Kleist is undoubtedly the most modern among German writers of the beginning of XIXth century. The analysis of his short-stories, which inaugurated a realistic trend in German literature, will show how these stories actually confute the possibility of any realistic writing and of that cause-effect structure which is at the origin of a meaningful reconstruction of facts. This analysis will be accompanied by a close reading of his anedocts, published on the newspaper he founded, which are marvellous masterpieces in telling a truth which can never be told.
