Music and literature. Analyzing song lyrics WH-KON-MUSLIT

The relations between literature and music have often been theorized in terms of 'intertextuality'. Traditionally, musico-literary research was carried out by literary critics and consequently had a strong literary bias. The course wants to give an overview of the manifold possibilities of contact and aims to show the multiplicity of subjects in musico-literary studies. Some cases will be analyzed, in particular: Franz Schubert's Wintterreise, and the lyrics of Popular Music in different countries.
