Lecture Series “The Power of Narrative: Forms, Contexts, Politics” (Summer Term 2024)

In the literature section of the English Department, we are featuring a lecture series on Narrative Studies this semester, entitled “The Power of Narrative: Forms, Contexts, Politics”. Many members from the department are contributing, as are special guests from outside.

Talks will be on Tuesdays, 17:15–18:45, HS 5¾. You’ll find an overview of the dates and talks in the poster.

It would be great to see you there, and to have you join in our discussions on all things narrative!
