| | Description: | From the scientific studies of Goethe, the futuristic social projections of modernism, and the digital experiments of the present, science and art enjoy a rich-and complicated-relationship in German-speaking culture. This course explores the evolving relationship between science and art from the late eighteenth through twenty-first centuries, with a focus on literature and film. Our inquiry will be guided by a series of questions: how does scientific inquiry shape art? How have aesthetic philosophies influenced attitudes towards science? Is there such a thing as the "literary experiment," and what sets it apart from a scientific one? Finally, where does science fiction fit in? Through close readings of our primary "texts," we will explore artistic attempts to explore, expand, or refute paradigms of scientific thought in aesthetic terms. Readings include Goethe, Hoffmann, Lasswitz, Döblin, Broch, Musil, Dath. Visual sources include Lang, Fassbinder, and Kluge. Readings and discussion in German. |

| | Description: | This seminar covers innovative engagements with new media over roughly the past century, incorporating both theoretical frameworks and aesthetic responses. On the one hand, the course will cover major works of media theory from this period, particularly as they apply to literature, with an emphasis on German authors. Theorists are likely to include Benjamin, Heidegger, Adorno, McLuhan, Enzensberger, Kittler, and Siegert. On the other hand, we will consider how new media have shaped aesthetic practices, particularly in literary movements identified as experimental or avant-garde. The focus in this respect will be on German-language contributions to movements such as Dada and Concrete poetry, including the works of Raoul Hausmann, Max Bense, and Ferdinand Kriwet. In addition, we will consider works by authors such as Yoko Tawada that foreground the role of written media, and by contemporary writers and artists such as Julius Popp and Amaranth Borsuk who work at the intersection of textual and digital media. |

| | Description: | Political representation is a central mechanism of modern democracies, assuring through elections that the people can delegate power and are still the sovereign. In the last ten years, however, political theorists interested in the concept of political representation have stressed that it can occur in different ways within and outside of political institutions. Representation appears to be fluid and sometimes even an unstable process; it can be performed by elected and by non-elected actors; and it involves both discursive and symbolic mechanisms. This constructivist perspective opens the floor for concepts that include the symbolic dimension of political representation, while also bringing political theory in stronger dialogue with history and cultural studies. The course offers an interdisciplinary view on the topic, reading key works of political theory alongside a range of German and non-German primary sources. We will consider political representation as a symbolic activity, paying particular attention to symbolic practices, aesthetics, performativity, and the role of the body. Possible authors include Dörner, Göhler, Kantorowicz, Lefort, Manow, Pitkin, Saward, Schmitt; the course will include the analysis of images, videos, and rituals. Readings and discussions in German and English. PLEASE NOTE: This course will run from February 26 through April 26, 2018. |
