|
| | Description: | This course will approach the history, culture and literature of Nazism, World War II and the Holocaust by focusing on one particular aspect of the period-the experience of children. Children as a whole were drastically affected by the policies of the Nazi regime and the war it conducted in Europe, yet different groups of children experienced the period in radically different ways, depending on who they were and where they lived. By reading key texts written for and about children, we will first take a look at how the Nazis made children-both those they considered "Aryan" and those they designated "enemies" of the German people, such as Jewish children-an important focus of their politics. We will then examine literary texts and films that depict different aspects of the experience of European children during this period: daily life in the Nazi state, the trials of war and bombardment in Germany and the experience of expulsion from the East and defeat, the increasingly restrictive sphere in which Jewish children were allowed to live, the particular difficulties children faced in the Holocaust, and the experience of children in the immediate postwar period. Readings include texts by Ruth Klüger, Harry Mulisch, Imre Kertész, Miriam Katin, David Grossman and others. Course conducted entirely in English. OPEN TO FRESHMEN. STUDENTS MUST ENROLL IN BOTH MAIN SECTION AND ONE DISCUSSION SECTION. |

Readings include works in translation by some of the most influential figures of the German tradition, such as Goethe, Kleist, Droste-Huelshoff, Kafka, Thomas Mann, Brecht, and Christa Wolf. Open to first-year students, nonmajors, and majors. Required for admission to 400-level courses (except 404 and 408D).

| | Description: | This course studies cultural expressions of German nationalism and the formation and cultivation of a German national identity from the collapse of Prussia and the Holy Roman Empire in the wake of Napoleon's armies (1805-06) to shortly before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. In our examination of imaginative literature, opera, national anthems, painting, public monumental art, essays, propaganda, and popular culture from this period we will seek to identify how each work is both a product and a producer of the moment in which it was created and will consider the differences in vision of the nation and national culture across the political spectrum. Of particular importance to our investigation will be the roles of men, women, and the family; language and other ethnic markers; heroism; the Prussian monarchy; the historical past; legends; geography; and armed conflict, foreign occupation, and the experience of defeat in cementing national identity. The course will focus on German-French relations insofar as these profoundly shaped conceptions of German national identity in the period. |

| | Description: | During the early modern period, roughly 1450-1700, prose fiction developed as one of the dominant literary forms. We will read and review several important expressions of this evolving literary form marking the structural and thematic trajectory along which the narrative changes are leading from late medieval to early modern, from Prosaromane (Volksbücher) to early forms of the novel. We will explore the relationship of facts and fiction, the influence of magic, demonology, and travel writings as well as issues of gender construction and their effect on the development of prose narratives. Texts we will explore are: Melusine, Fortunatus, Dr, Faustus, and Grimmelshausens Courage. |

| | Description: | We will discuss selected essays, dramas and novellas by the author and see them in the literary, art historical, social, and political contexts of their times. In order to better understand Kleist's aesthetics we will include works by Schiller and Goethe that had an impact on the author. Kleist's position within the Romantic movement will also be dealt with. The German Romantic era coincides with the time of Napoleon's rule in Europe. Kleist's resistance against the French politician is a dominant theme in some of his works. As far as questions of religion, mythology, and the supernatural, the concept of love, the idea of the family, the vision of freedom, the problem of colonialism, and the understanding of political resistance is concerned, Kleist articulates the tension between enlightenment and romantic trends. The seminar is for graduate students. Undergraduate Seniors with a major in German would need special permission. 3 credits. |
|
| | Description: | Ever since 2000, when Eric Rentschler defined the previous decade of German film as a "cinema of consensus," scholars have wrestled with whether post-unification film culture is best characterized by conformity, experimentation, or some mixture of both. Taking up this question, this course offers an overview of contemporary German cinema, playing close attention to its key movements and moments. It explores how contemporary German film has contributed to the negotiation of national identity and the place of film as an art form, and how it has addressed issues such as gender, sexual, racial/ethnic and political identities, the country's relationship to its histories of censorship, violence and dictatorship, and its conflicting visions for the future. Possible films include: The Architects; Berlin is in Germany; Barbara; Rosenstraße; Das Wunder von Bern; 2 oder drei Dinge, die ich von ihm weiß; Wir sind jung, wir sind stark; Oh Boy; Der Baader Meinhof Komplex. Alongside the films, we will read a range of secondary and theoretical works, reviews, and literary or essayistic works on related themes. The language of discussion will be English, with readings in English and German. All films in German, with subtitles where available. |
