| This course provides an overview of some of the major developments in European cinema from the post-World War II period to the present. Europe is the home of the art film, and we will analyze this category by looking at various manifestations of this genre from a variety of European nations. The art film initially arose as a reaction to the hegemony of Hollywood after the war; European film industries attempted to support their own national cinemas that often rejected the commercialism and genre formulas of Hollywood films. Post-war European film reflects a complex love-hate relationship with American film, and this will become clear through an examination of the techniques of citation and parody used by European directors. We will learn about major film movements including Italian Neorealism, the French New Wave, New German Cinema, Dogme 95, the cinemas of Eastern Europe before and after the fall of the Iron Curtain, and transnational European cinema. Students will utilize film terminology to analyze individual films that are then situated within their particular historical and cultural contexts. Course Information: Same as LCSL 207 and SPAN 207.

| This course introduces students to a diverse selection of films made in Germany between 1895 and 2020 and offers practice in examining them as explorations and expressions of the human imagination and the human experience during the socio-historical events and transitions specific to twentieth-century Germany (East and West). Through reading assignments, in-class discussion, on-line discussion, quizzes, homework assignments and paper writing, students will develop analytical skills in the viewing and interpretation of films and in writing original arguments about film history and cinema culture. Students taking GER 217 will gain the vocabulary for interpreting, analyzing, evaluating and researching films in the context of the history that shaped and was shaped by them. They will advance their ability to read, experience and view films carefully, to think critically, to argue cogently and to communicate ideas about cinema and a non-US culture in written and oral form. This course serves as an elective in the Germanic Studies major and minor, the minor in Moving Image Arts and as a General Education course in the categories of World Cultures and Creative Arts and Ideas. Students seeking credit for the Germanic Studies major or minor will do alternative homework portfolio assignments and may be asked to write papers in German and conduct on-line discussion in German. This is a great course for people with an interest in German cultural history or international film history in general. Films will be watched outside of class, supplemented by online discussion and interactive elements on Blackboard. Taught in English. Films with subtitles. Course Information: Taught in English.

| "The Brothers Grimm and Their Cultural Legacy" The course examines the cultural legacy of the Brothers Grimm, nineteenth-century collectors and editors of Germanic fairy tales and legends. Their scholarship of Germanys national myth, The Song of the Nibelungen and the questions they posed about oral and literary transmission continue to shape modern scholarship. Their life-long pursuit of fairy tales launched a tidal wave of European folkloric collecting that led to significant advances in research. The course will consider various interpretive strategies developed to classify and read this new material, from Propps morphology and Aarne-Thompsons typology to feminist, historical and animal studies approaches. Through close readings of literary tales, the course provides basic tools for narrative interpretation and critical argumentation. Taught in English. Course Information: Taught in English. Area literature/culture. No knowledge of German required. Students who intend to use GER 219 toward an undergraduate major or minor in the Department of Germanic Studies will do assignments in German. | ||||||||

| "Coming of Age in Germany Today: Family, Society, Culture, Politics" As we enter the 21 st centurys third decade and continue to grapple with the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, Germans, in a globalized and increasingly digitized world, confront many issues faced also by other nations and regions of the world: climate change and environmental justice; migration; racism; equity in public health management; global trade issues; shifts in the labor market; a growing domination of interpersonal and cultural communication by social media; populism across the political spectrum; changing definitions of family and kinship; new forms of schooling and education; gender inclusivity; shifting understandings of the role of religion in society; struggles about social justice and accessibility for disabled populations; and the emergence of new forms of cultural expression. How, though, do all of these broader issues play out in Germany society, and against the backdrop of German history? In particular, how do these issues affect the generation coming of age in Germany now? In this German-language course, we will discuss these social justice issues and cultural shifts by examining a variety of authentic materials, among them digital media, journalism, and film. Course Information: May be repeated to a maximum of 6 hours. Only majors and minors outside the Department of Germanic Studies may repeat this course for a maximum of 6 hours.

| Poetics of Multiculturalism Poetics of Multiculturalism: Literature from Germany and Africa. As our world is increasingly characterized by a conglomeration of diverse cultures, languages, and religions and as extensive migrations in particular contribute to intensified global interactions, modern German and African fictions more than ever before feature plurivocal narratives of multiculturalism. These narratives are distinguished by a refusal to oversimplify cultural and social phenomena and seek to represent the complexity of postmodern identities, to stimulate in readers an openness to pluralism, to foster the perception and accommodation of differences, and to counter tendencies of exclusion. In this course, we will read literary texts from Africa and Germany and examine narrative strategies used to represent connections and kinships between cultures. Same as ENGL 305. | ||||||||
