Learning outcomes

The aim is to provide students with wide-ranging knowledge of and attendant approaches to Ibsen’s dramatic art. Its significance for modern drama, theatre and new media production will also be explored. Areas of study include:

• A reading of Ibsen’s oeuvre, with emphasis on
  biographical, historical and aesthetic perspectives
• The reception and adaptation history of Ibsen’s
  oeuvre, in literature, on the stage and in new media
• The development of the modern western drama, with
  Ibsen’s dramatic form as the backdrop

During their course of study students are to write a master thesis demonstrating their capacity to do scientific and independent work. The master thesis is to provide evidence of the fact that the student has made an in-depth study of areas that are relevant to an understanding of the essential aspects of Ibsen’s production. The master thesis may thematise different angles of approach to Ibsen’s oeuvre, normally within the limits of aesthetic, literary, linguistic and media studies.
