Literature and Cultural Studies Courses

Fall 2003

H20102	Advanced Training Language, Text, Context This course is intended for students who wish to refine their speaking, writing, and reading skills beyond the Intermediate level. Designed as a comprehensive introduction to modern German culture, we will discuss a variety of literary, political, and philosophical texts, including feature films and video materials. In addition, students have the opportunity to enrich the curriculum, by giving class reports on current events of their choice. A list of interesting web-sites on the internet will be provided at the beginning of the semester (Deutsche Welle-Tv, newspapers, magazines etc.). Weekly grammar reviews will complement these activities.	Schoenherr, U.	MW 12:30-2
H 262 01	Film Before World War II	Pavsek, C.	TTh 1:00-2:30
H 32001	Sex-Crime-Madness: The Birth of Modernism and the Aesthetics of Transgression Whereas in premodern societies art primarily functioned as the sym-bolic representation of religious and political power, with the emergence of modern society around 1800 it was gradually released from these heteronomous roles and achieved aesthetic freedom and autonomy. The eman-cipation from rule-bound poetics, didactic, and moral constraints led to a redefinition of literature, for which the classic/classicist triad of the true, the good, and the beautiful was no longer valid. The successful separation from extra-aesthetic determinants opened up new representational possibilities, in which the beautiful became boring and the "ugly" became interesting. Focusing on major literary figures from Goethe to Brecht, the seminar will examine the 'paradigm shift' towards a modern aesthetics of transgression in which social, racial, and sexual deviancy take center stage. Readings will include prose texts and plays by Goethe, Kleist, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Gotthelf, Wedekind, Schnitzler, Mann, Kafka, and Brecht.	Schoenherr, U.	T 1:00-4:00
