| This course will provide an overview of one of the most influential national cinemas in the world: beginning with the celebrated films of Weimar Germany (1919-1933) and including films made under the Nazis (1933-45), post-war popular cinema (Heimatfilme), films of the critically acclaimed New German Cinema of the 1970s, cinema made in socialist East Germany after World War II, historical dramas, and art house and international favorites of the contemporary period. We will consider the parameters of national cinema, asking to what extent a nation's films can be seen as a projection screen for cultural hopes and anxieties. Along these lines, the specters of fascism and the Holocaust loom in post-war German cinema along with the history of the division of Berlin and Germany from 1945-89. We will likewise consider these films in light of the limits of national categorizations for cinema in a globalizing world. In addition to screening and analyzing films, we will read a number of theoretical texts that will provide an aesthetic and cultural frame for interpretation. General Education credit for Creative Arts and World Cultures. German majors and minors will write their papers in German in consultation with the professor and the TA.

| "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. 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.

| Long prior to the founding of the German Empire in 1871, German territories and states were enmeshed in European and even global issues. The narrative of German history cannot be told without reference to the histories of other nations, nor can it be understood properly without reference to issues whose dimensions transcend national and linguistic boundaries and whose import is global. Among these issues are colonialism, the global slave trade, the exploitation of natural resources and the environmental impact of human activity, religious strife, war, and migration, to name but a few. German literature grapples with these issues and reflects upon them in complex ways. You will have an opportunity to sharpen your speaking, listening, reading, and writing abilities in German as we work through our course materials. You will also get a chance to work on your German grammar. At the end of the semester, you will have the opportunity to work on a creative project.

| The Poetics of Social Class Class is back: Since the world economic crisis of 2007/08at the latest, the problem of an increasing class division in society has returned. The gap between the haves and the have-nots is not closing, as we were led to believe during the era of post-World-War-II prosperity. Rather, this gap is widening. We can observe major social unrest in many countries around the world, and in numerous developed countries we can witness the rise of populist movements that claim to defend the rights and demands of destitute working classes that actually now are mostly out of work. Even in the academic world, a new class is taking shape: the new academic precariat includes both students who will be paying off their tuition debt for years to come and instructors on short-term contracts without any prospects of long-term employment. Literature has been a mirror as well as a constitutive force with regard to the formation of social classes since the late 18 th century. The imaginary self-fashioning of modern class society was highly dependent on literary texts and practices, and ever since its emergence, the workers movement, which was fighting against the capitalist class society, used literature as a means in its struggle. We will read and discuss literary and theoretical texts from the late 18 th century to the present. Poems and pamphlets from the time of the French Revolution; the English romantic anti-capitalism of William Blake and Percy Shelley; early socialist and feminist treatises from the German Vormrz; and narratives from the American abolitionist movement will all be examined in our course. We will read texts from the heyday of the German and the American workers movements of the late 19 th and early 20 th century as well as literary reports from the socialist transformation during the early days of the GDR. Special emphasis will be placed on autobiographical testimonies, including the much-discussed auto-socio-biographies of our time, such as those of Annie Ernaux, Eduard Louis, or J.D. Vance. Course Information: May be repeated to a maximum of 9 hours if topics vary. Taught in English. Same as ENGL 305 | ||||||||
