Course Description:
Through close readings and discussions of literature, film, and essays from the contemporary German-speaking world, this course seeks to develop students’ reading, writing and speaking skills. Beginning with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, this course will examine German, Austrian, and Swiss culture in the last decades right up to the present. We will examine some of the most impactful contemporary works of literature and film, from authors and filmmakers such as Daniel Kehlmann, Zafer Senocak, Herta Müller, Fatih Akin, and Christian Petzold, as well as current topics such as Germany’s image in the world, immigration, Europe and more. All work will be done in German. |
