GERM 64.03 Weimar Republic Culture

This class provides an introduction into Weimar Republic Culture and its rich political and aesthetic legacy.  Writers, artists, filmmakers, scientists, philosophers, and political activists collaborated widely and produced new perspectives and forms for understanding the self and its relationship to language, to others and to the world.  We will discuss among others artistic movements such as expressionism, Dada and New Objectivity, modernist genres such as the collage or the stream-of-consciousness novel, groundbreaking authors such as Thomas Mann and Bertolt Brecht, the rich German-Jewish cultural life before the rise of fascism and the way in which sciences and the arts converged.  The class will be conducted in German.
