    Graduate School Practices of Literature (GSPoL)

    About

    The Graduate School Practices of Literature (GSPoL) promotes a new understanding of literary/cultural studies as a discipline that is shaped by current developments in the philosophy of science and critical "turns" in the humanities and social sciences. These perspectives in literary/cultural studies involve a redefinition of its social and cultural impact and significance. Accordingly, the GSPoL pays close attention to the relationship between literature, culture, and the so-called public sphere. It aims to develop strategies to enhance the interaction between literature, literary/cultural studies, and society to their mutual benefit. In view of these considerations, priority is given to three interconnected research areas: Literature, Culture, and Society Theories of Literature and Culture Literary/Cultural Studies and the Professional World
