GERM 82 Topics in German Creative Writing

What is it like to work with the German language creatively? This seminar gives upper-intermediate and advanced students of German a unique opportunity to learn directly from the most exciting voices in contemporary Germanophone culture. Seminar topics vary and are chosen by the year’s Max Kade Visiting professor—an internationally recognized writer, filmmaker, journalist, comic artist, etc. Each seminar helps students understand, from the inside, what questions to ask of creative works, how to play with meaning and form, how to scaffold a creative project in a particular genre or medium, and how to position oneself vis-à-vis it. Students will continue to work on their written and oral expression and complete a small creative project in German.
