As part of the course, selected issues of literature science are discussed with particular emphasis on stylistics and verifications. The course will focus on the understanding of the main tendencies of literature science in the 20th century: Formalism, New Criticism, linguistic and semiotic theories, sociological theories, Psychoanalysis, reader-centric theories (phenomenological, hermeneutic and deconstructivist theories), as well as post-colonial and feminist theories. A supplement to the message in the field of genology is the discussion of the criteria for division into literary genres and genres, the solution of difficult issues of species systematization.
