The book is intended for Germanistics students. It deals with the basic question of how to clearly define literature: in the first part it describes the literary competencies, needed for an educated reception of literary texts, it forms a literary model which links the activities in the production and reception of artistic texts, and offers the tools for a literary analysis. In doing so it puts in evidence a consequent understanding of the connection between the content and the structure, which is crystallized in the notion of a multiple coding or superstructuring of a literary text.
