Semester: 1st

Number of ECTS credits allocated: 5

Name of the lecturer: Cătălin Constantinescu

Course objective: An introduction into the history of the modern European novel, history conventionally starting from the beginning of the 20th century. Creative topics and principles proposed by the modern theories of the novel. Students will identify the features of the modern novel and the new type of the Romanian discourse.

Course contents: The European novel has actually lived modernism more than once, each time being perceived in a different way due to the different relationship with the existing tension between the dynamic tradition and the innovative tendency – a tension marked by the Freudian thinking and the existential philosophy. The human condition, revival of the past, alienation, the novelty, the temporal and spatial extension, the industrial revolution, the identity problem – they all represent sore points in the context of the modern novel, exemplified by representative authors: F. Kafka (The Castle, The Trial), A. Camus (The Plague, The Stranger), H. Hesse (The Glass Bead Game), J. Joyce (Ulysses), V. Woolf (To The Lighthouse), T. Mann (The Magic Mountain) and others.
