[edit] Description from course catalog
- Throughout Germany’s turbulent twentieth-century history, Berlin has been its political and cultural capital. Here, literature and film provide exceptional insights. In our course, we shall explore these interconnections through poems, essays, novels (e.g. Döblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz), and films (e.g. Wilder’s One, Two, Three). We shall learn about different periods, such as the “Russian Berlin”, the divided city, or the multicultural Berlin of today. One overarching question will be: To what extent can literature and film be an archive of its time? .
[edit] Prerequisites / Notes
- This course is cross-referenced with Cinema Studies and also counts towards that major.
