This course is offered within the University of Warsaw Integrated Development Programme, co-financed from the European Social Fund under the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development 2014-2020, path 3.5.

The course offers an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of the cultural process, the mechanisms of shaping cultural identity, introduces theoretical justifications to the generational approach and at the same time problematizes the generational classification. The generational perspective allows for considering individual artistic phenomena in a broader cultural and social context, and draws attention to turning points and periods in the history of culture that update the generation identification.

The aim of the course is to teach students to understand and analyze the generational character of literary and cultural changes and the formation of a generational identity in culture, to define the processes and mechanisms of intergenerational communication due to general cultural patterns and characteristics of a specific tradition and situation.

Achieving this goal is associated with the implementation of specific goals:

• familiarizing students with the main theoretical and methodological versions of the generational approach to literature;

• learning about the advantages and disadvantages of generational identification, comparing them with other methods of literary classification;

• master the basic terminological tools of the generational approach to literature and demonstrate its analytical and interpretative possibilities;

• determining the mechanisms of cultural continuity in the context of contemporary research on memory, considering the specificity of their functioning in the modern era;

• teaching students to independently recognize and understand generational phenomena in literature, to recognize methods of generation identification and representation;

• develop the ability to conduct discussions, justify your position;

• deepening the skills of scientific literary analysis of a work of art in accordance with the selected theoretical and methodological perspective.

The course covers the study and critical analysis of the theoretical foundations of the generational approach - from classic works by Wilhelm Dilthey, Wilhelm Pinder, Karl Mannheim, Martin Heidegger, Shmuel Eisenstadt, Francois Mantry, Jose Ortega y Gasset, Sigmund Norrozeid Freud, Gerd, Kazimierz Vicky to the latest collective research projects and publishing houses, such as "Post-colonialism. Generations. Culture: theoretical revisions ”(2014) or“ Generational phenomenon as rebellion and de (construction) ”(2018), as well as basic concepts of memory theory as a mechanism of intergenerational communication.
