Expanded Course Description
| The course addresses the ways contemporary Germans create, challenge, or maintain group identities in an increasingly diverse society. What does it mean to be German? How does the Nazi past affect current concepts of German-ness? What differences persist between eastern and western Germans? How do literature and film shape and question notions about ethnicity or cultural diversity? How are differences between ideas of who is German or non-German changing? What does it mean to be a foreigner? The focus is be on issues of (in)tolerance, multiculturalism, stereotyping, belonging, and the representation of plural voices in stories, films, essays, and interviews. No knowledge of German required; readings and discussions in English. |
