Modulzuordnungen

Kommentar/Beschreibung

This course is part of the LINK module. In order to get credit for the entire module, students must also complete the course with Matthias Myrczek: 10-E76-3-LINK-01 Teaching Literature.

This part of the module will offer an opportunity to explore contemporary fiction from the perspective of the book market, specifically the production, circulation and reception of novels in the UK. Students will become familiar with the economic and cultural conditions of the contemporary literary marketplace, its key participants and their interaction. Our focus will be on the culture of literary prizes in Anglophone fiction, in particular on the Man Booker Prize 2025. As UK's most prestigious literary prize, the Booker Prize presents a nodal point on the literary calendar, exposing and connecting the diverse interests of authors, publishers, booksellers, critics and readers. The course will introduce students to the main issues and developments of the Booker 2025, and invite them to analyse its background on four levels: textual analysis, marketing, reviewing and prize coverage.
By the beginning of term, students should have purchased and read two of the six novels on the 2025 Booker shortlist which will be announced by the end of September.
Please, sign up to the Booker mailinglist, check out the Booker website and be aware of the following —
Important Dates:
• The judging panel: announcement on 10 Dec 2024
• The longlist: announcement on 29 July 2025
• The shortlist: announcement on 23 September 2025 at a live public event at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London
• The winner: announcement on 10 November at an awards ceremony at Old Billingsgate in London (live stream via the Booker Prize’s channels)
