- The course offers a reflection on the theme of contagion starting from the analysis of texts by some great authors of German-speaking literature: Schnitzler, Kafka, Th. Mann, Canetti, Dürrenmatt, Bachmann. The term contagion, primarily attributable to the medical field, actually expresses a multiplicity of meanings, capable of saying a lot not only about the German-speaking world in its peculiarity, but also about our era in general.
