GERLIT 133: Twentieth Century and Contemporary Literature and Culture

This course is designed to provide students with a representative overview of German literature, film and music from World War I to the early twenty-first century. It draws on major texts from many of the twentieth century's great literary and artistic movements, from Expressionism and New Objectivity, via the Gruppe 47 to pop art and postmodernism. In keeping with German Studies Department's new pilot program, this course will be taught in English and in German - particular periods or literary or cultural movements will be discussed in English, while individual text will be discussed (and read) entirely in German. German language proficiency is therefore assumed, as is some familiarity with the rough outlines of German history in the 20th century.
