The seminar form course focuses on the interpretation of key LPs of Bob Dylan with respect to their chronological order.
The albums are going to be interpreted as complex containers of diverse codes and meanings (album cover, the semantics of music and lyrics, the performative presentation of the author). Such analysis should reach for both the constant ("everlasting") and occasional ("unique", "ever-changing") features of the themes and styles. Each album is going to be analysed upon the background of the status of its cultural field, with respect to the "high-brow" and "popular culture" structuring of such a field.
