Active participation and handing in publicistic texts according to the course programme that will be announced at the beginning of the semester. Participation in proofreading and other editorial activities connected with preparation of the journal. A part of the semester is in on-site learning mode (to be specified at the beginning of the semester). The final evaluation is based on the quality level of the hand-in text, for example if student does not offer own pictures for the text, makes many stylistic or grammatical mistakes – low language quality, low content quality or if he/she misses the deadline. Outcomes during the semester are not possible to evaluate more than once. The teacher will accept a maximum of two absences with documentation.

The selected love poems are to be located within a triangle of literary history, love discourse and gender discourse, whose components range from the Baroque to the present. The focus is on a) Petrarchism, Anacreontics, Sturm und Drang, Romanticism, literary modernism, Expressionism, Neue Sachlichkeit, contemporary poetry, b) love in times of arranged marriages, the "invention" of romantic love around 1800, continued effects, problematisation and alternative concepts c) from the "one-sex-model" to the "two-sex-model" to gender as a social construct. Love poetry by men and women is dealt with and related to each other. Guiding questions are: Who speaks about love, when and to whom? What taboos are there and what transgressions? How is individual and social identity constructed through love? How is masculinity and femininity defined in love poems and how do they challenge gender stereotypes or the norm of heterosexuality?
Weighting of midterm/final grades: 70/30

German
The course focuses on the political landscape of German-speaking countries, reflecting current political and media debates in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (the so-called D-A-CH countries). We analyze German-language media, discuss them, and acquire the relevant context necessary to properly assess and understand them (historical development, political system, specificities of the three countries, etc. ). Main topics of the course:
1) Space and demography: internal and mutual heterogeneity of the D-A-CH countries, demographic trends, D-A-CH as an immigration destination in the 20th century, and current (Gastarbeiter, migration and labour market policies).
2) Economy: economic developments and policies in the context of globalization, the most important industries and sectors in D-A-CH and their current direction
3) Society: historical antecedents and traumas, problematic issues (inequalities, unemployment, marginalisation) and the welfare state
4) State and nation: contrasting view of national consciousness and identity issues, defining tendencies versus emphasising commonalities, EU membership or non-membership
5) Politics: specificities of countries and their political systems, political environment, ideological background, issues of political culture, constitutions and foreign policy; federalism, specificities of countries, implications of federalism
6) Mass media: the press in D-A-CH, global developments and national specificities, the state and the media (affairs and debates in recent years in Germany and Austria), social media and democracy,
7) Church and state: religions in D-A-CH, state-church relationship, differences in Germany and Austria, current discourse and developments (teaching ethics, scandals and their reflection, influence of churches).
8) Colonial history of Germany and Austria: history, reflection, influences
Scale of assessment (preliminary/final): 100/ 0
The student knows the methods of text analysis and has the linguistic competences necessary to actively understand newspaper articles, professional texts and statistics of professional literature and to be able to extract relevant information from them. Using his/her knowledge of facts, he/she is able to engage in debate on current social issues in German-speaking countries and to place these in a political, historical, social and cultural context.
The primary didactic method is Dutch for Reading Knowledge (C. Van Baalen et al., John Benjamins), which begins with texts on architecture and design, secularization and social security, migration, water management, postcolonialism in the Netherlands, the Dutch Golden Age, and related topics. Each chapter contains three core texts drawn from journals, newspapers, or online sources.
The student takes tests throughout the semester aimed at assessing receptive competence based on the thematic units of the textbook, followed by a comprehensive written examination at the end of the semester. The student is required to achieve a minimum success rate of 60% in all components of the assessment.
To complete the course, a receptive knowledge of English at the B1 level and native-level proficiency in Slovak are required.
The course is not intended for students of Dutch translation studies.
Work with the textbook is supplemented by current texts and audiovisual materials. Real-life language communication situations are simulated. Basic translation and interpreting exercises are included.
The aim of this course is to introduce participants with no prior knowledge of Dutch to a method for acquiring receptive language competence that enables an acceptable level of text comprehension. The objective of the introductory course is to develop language competence at the A1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, with a particular focus on receptive skills in Dutch, as well as translation and interpreting competence from Dutch as the source language into Slovak. The target audience consists of students—particularly those with knowledge of English and German and/or Scandinavian languages—who are interested and motivated to work with Dutch and Dutch-language sources, such as selected chapters from Dutch and Flemish press, academic publications, or archival materials from the Netherlands, as well as texts intended for translation and interpreting from Dutch.

50% class participation) /50% final in-class essay
Students will become acquainted, in an accessible manner, with metamodernism as a way of understanding the emotionality of the contemporary subject. This will enable them to engage with contemporary literature in a more layered and reflective way and to better understand the experience of the contemporary reader in its specific characteristics: in connection with their new affect, their striving for a new sincerity, and their search for a new depth (the value of being) through affective and self-affirming experience of the self within time, space, and corporeal being.
At the same time, students will become familiar with autofiction as one of the most popular literary genres of the present—one that blurs the boundary between narrator and author and embodies new (metamodern) forms of experiencing time and space.
Concurrently, they will acquire philologically relevant conceptual tools for thinking about time and space in the 20th and 21st centuries. This knowledge will enable them to reflect in a nuanced way on current metamodern tendencies, drawing from the dialogical philosophy of Mikhail M. Bakhtin, classical phenomenology, the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, postmodern philosophy, the spatial turn in the humanities, and Paul Virilio’s phenomenology of speed.
In this way, students will gain a panoramic overview of how time and space are understood in modern and contemporary humanities, develop sensitivity to time and space as both existential and literary categories, and acquire an interpretive-methodological foundation for a mode of their reading that is both critical and meaning-oriented—that is, metamodern—in literary as well as non-literary contexts.

4. Searching in parallel (bilingual) corpora with a focus on the translation of idioms
5. Searching in parallel (bilingual) corpora with a focus on the translation of expressive expressions
6. Searching in parallel (bilingual) corpora with a focus on the translation of expressions with terminological validity
