Short description:	The main point of the course will be the exposition of political, philosophical, aesthetical, moral and social ideas found within the Austro-Hungarian Empire taken as a whole, an orbit that ceased to exist in 1918, yet continued to have an impact, indeed, a lasting impact on Central European thinking and culture. Authors that were born and grew up in the KuK Monarchy yet had to see its decline and fall, and reflect on it, will include Austrians and Hungarians. This course is in many ways an experiment, hopefully consistent with the general objectives of this MA Program. Some of the authors listed have received considerable attention internationally, some of them outside literary circles as well (e.g. Kafka). Nonetheless, I expect that this course will mainly devoted to the live discussion of the texts, some to be read entirely, rather than to their critical reception and commentaries.
