PhD students 2nd cohort

Dr. Annika Bartsch (born 1988) studied German language and literature studies, history and philosophy at the University of Freiburg and Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, from 2007 to 2011. At Dalhousie University she taught two conversation courses for intermediate German. From 2011 to 2014 she completed her Master of Literature, Art, and Culture at FSU Jena, majoring in modern German literature. During her studies she was employed as a research assistant in the department of modern German literature, in the Klassik Stiftung Weimar and in the Ernst Klett Schulbuch Verlag in Leipzig. After completing her Master’s she worked as a research assistant in the ‘Laboratory of the Enlightenment’ research centre and in the Klassik Stiftung Weimar. From 2008 to 2014 Annika Bartsch received a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation. For her thesis project she first received funding in 2015 from a state graduate student scholarship at FSU Jena. She was a PhD student at the ‘Romanticism as a Model’ research training group from October 2015 through September 2018. In October 2018, she could secure a scholarship with DFG for her Postdoc-Project „Gestalt und Funktion Unzuverlässigen Erzählens in historischer und gattungsspezifischer Perspektive“ with the research training group. She completed her PhD in February 2019.

Gestalt und Funktion unzuverlässigen Erzählens in historischer und gattungsspezifischer Perspektive

Das Projekt hat nicht den Anspruch, eine neue Typologie erzählerischer Unzuverlässigkeit aufzustellen. Vielmehr will es auf Grundlage der vorhandenen Modelle nach der Funktion unzuverlässigen Erzählens in literarischen Texten der Gegenwart (ab 1989) fragen, denn bisher fehlt eine Arbeit, die Gestalt und Funktion erzählerischer Unzuverlässigkeit in der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur systematisiert.
