      The goal Self-referentiality of the act of reading. Revealing the reader’s individuality and the dependence of reception upon culture and history. Identification of the stylistic and formational aspects of reading (reading during the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, the Age of Enlightenment, the 19th century). Reception games - ambiguity, polysemic and allegorical qualities of the text. Becoming familiar with contemporary theories of reading.
      The outcome The student will gain insight into the dynamics of the history of reading, learn how to recognize the attitudes toward written texts that have varied over different epochs (reading during the Middle Ages, Renaissance Humanism, the Age of Enlightenment...). He/she will learn to interpret the most famous works of the Serbian literature in a broader reception context, to grasp hidden meanings (allegory, parody), and to independently use meta-literature in research.
