About

In the beginning was the word - or was it? We'll explore what pieces of literature, from ancient epic to modern poetry, have been doing in the world and in human society. Here are a few of the questions we might touch on:

Where do myths come from and how do they work?
What do we need stories and characters for?
What do Freud, Marx and anarchism have to do with literature?

There's no preliminary reading and no requirement. You should be happy to discuss books in English and engage with the language, but you need no previous experience.

Fee info

Fee

230 EUR, "I want to pay the full cost of the Discover experience. It includes the costs during the academy (accommodation, food, materials), travel costs for tutors, marketing, administration and preparatory meetings. Without these expenses, we wouldn't be able to offer a diverse range of high quality courses."

Fee

170 EUR, "I prefer to pay only the costs during the academy: accomodation, food and materials."
