GERMAN 311: German Poetry, Global Poetics

The goal of this seminar is twofold: first, we will closely read German poems through the ages - from the 15th century folk ballad "Die Königskinder" to Anja Utler's poetic monologue "kommen sehen," published in 2020. This selection of poetry will be a mix of canonical poems we will read anew and unknown poems we will discover for the first time. With each poem we will practice different modes of interpretation, close reading methods, and reading techniques; and we will think about the cultural status of writing, reading, and sharing poetry. Second, we will also spend time reading texts written about poetry, its purposes, uses, histories, and developments. The retellings of Greek myths, the Klopstockian rejection of Latin hexameter, the experimentation with forms like the Alexandrine, the madrigal or the pantoum, the poetry of climate change: all make clear how German poetry exists within the context of a global poetics. What this global angle changes about how we read and think about German poetry and poetics will be our guiding question throughout the quarter. Taught in German.
