Expanded Course Description
| This course provides a concise intellectual history of German-speaking cultures in selected moments from the 16th to the 19th century (depending on the iteration and instructor), always putting a primary focus on "economic" thinking in a broad sense. While placing our main emphasis on literary texts, we will explore also philosophical ones, as well as the arts, and we will consider the general historical perspectives that facilitate reflection on the cultural history of money, economy, and associated larger theoretical questions about value. We will consider tensions between religion and secularized science as they bear on the meanings of money and value. And we will introduce the ways in which thinking about value and money changes across different subperiods within modernity (such as the Reformation, Enlightenment, Romanticism, the Industrial Revolution, and modernism in the narrower sense of twentieth century cultural work). Authors and artists to be investigated will include such figures as: Luther, Dürer, Leibniz, Lessing, Kant, Goethe, Chamisso, Keller, Marx, Engels, Simmel, and Weber. The course is taught in English. This course fulfills the Arts and Letters requirement, because it provides instruction in Humanities methods, especially literary analysis, philosophical reflection, and the pursuit of historical understanding. The course also fulfills the Multicultural Group requirement for International Cultures, because it examines the German, Austrian, and Swiss cultures, and considers differences of socio-economic class, of systems of valuation, and of political orientation, within and across these cultures.
