Literatura i kultura polska na niemieckich uniwersytetach – praktyki i wyzwania dydaktyczne

Bednarczuk, Monika and Marion Rutz: "Literatura i kultura polska na niemieckich uniwersytetach – praktyki i wyzwania dydaktyczne." Roczniki Humanistyczne 1(70)/2022, 70, 55–73. (https://ojs.tnkul.pl/index.php/rh/issue/view/1210). The paper examines the scope, the various contexts of and approaches to Polish literature and culture at selected German universities. Drawing on their teaching experience in bachelor’ courses and master’s programmes that include Polish Language and Literature, the authors first outline the specificity of Polish studies in Germany against its cultural, political, and economic background. Secondly, they highlight the focus and structure of selected courses they have taught and explain the reasons for choosing certain texts and approaches. In a next step, they identify crucial challenges faced by both the students and faculty. Thirdly, the paper draws attention to major differences between Polish studies in Poland and in Germany, including aspects that may be seen as ‘weaknesses’ of the German model from the point of view of Polish scholars in Poland, but it also underlines positive aspects of the German model
