This is an approved course section for satisfying the Faculty of Arts’ Ways of Knowing - Place and Power requirement. You can visit https://www.arts.ubc.ca/degree-planning/degree-requirements/bachelor-of-arts/ for details of the requirement and the full list of approved Place and Power course sections offered for 26W. Seats are restricted to Arts students only until Tuesday, September 8. After that point, available seats will also be open to non-Arts students. Therefore, non-Arts students may add themselves to the waitlist but will not be able to receive seat opening notifications until after Tuesday, September 8. Seat availability is not guaranteed. Settlers from Central and Eastern Europe played pivotal roles in the evolution of the modern Canadian state. Immigrants and refugees from present-day Ukraine and Russia – Ukrainians, Mennonites and Doukhobors – were a major factor in the settlement of the prairies. Poles, Czechs, Slovaks and Hungarians were welcomed to strengthen the labor force and to send a political message during the Cold War. The arrival of Jewish and Armenian refugees, on the other hand, precipitated conversations about Canada’s support for human rights across the globe. This course investigates monuments dedicated to these and other communities who immigrated from Central and Eastern Europe to Canada. Some of these monuments speak to memories that are integral to Canadian identity, such as the National Holocaust Memorial. Others, such as the Memorial to the Victims of Communism, represent interventions into controversial debates. We will examine the cultures of remembrance surrounding these public artworks from a variety of perspectives, including memory studies, art history, urban planning, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, and decolonization. At the same time, we will review the history that brought the settler communities from Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, and Russia to Canada. Our focus will lie on communities and memorials that have featured prominently in public debates about Canadian identity over the past two decades. | ||

| 101 | 1 | Online | Lecture | Gramling, David | Public NotesCENS 201: The Dark Enlightenment Today’s chaotic political landscape didn’t come out of nowhere, and it’s important to trace the lineages of prominent politicians’ stances and statements to their often unlikely roots. In this course, we will find out how to better track these intellectual lineages that echo in the daily statements of today’s political thought leaders and their intellectualizers. From neo-reactionary thought and accelerationism to techno-feudalism and fascism, we will want to account accurately for the concepts and ideas that seem to flow easily from the mouths of currently powerful figures in our political midst. The term “dark enlightenment” is one of the terms that have arisen to describe this phenomenon: both the appropriation of Enlightenment-era thought for anti-egalitarian purposes as well as the dismissal of European Enlightenment thought as naïve and unrealistic in the first place. Of course, European Enlightenment thought has been wielded as a weapon in colonial and genocidal processes the world over. This course will be an opportunity to examine these contradictory facts squarely, and to dig deep into their implications for our daily lives in 2025. |

| 202 | 2 | In-Person | Lecture | T, Th | 15:30 - 17:00 | Lieblang, Jason | Public NotesModernism in Context The calendar description for CENS 202 is “Major works of Central, Eastern and Northern European literature from the eighteenth century to the present in their European context.” My section focuses on works of literary modernism from the period (roughly) 1890-1930. We’ll get the chance early on to talk about modernist culture more generally - i.e. including visual art, architecture & design, and music – and we’ll finish the term with two films from the 1920s. That being said, we’ll spend most of our time together on literature, reading, analyzing and writing about prose and drama by the likes of Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann and Bertolt Brecht. Whenever possible we'll discuss the similarities between the time under study and our own, and see what we might learn to help us better understand the manifold challenges our societies face today. | ||
| 101 | 1 | In-Person | Lecture | M, W | 14:00 - 15:30 | Filipsson, Karin | Public NotesNordic Narratives of Nature and Culture This course investigates representations of nature and animals in Northern European film, literature and art such as Astrid Lindgren's Ronia the Robber's Daughter, Tove Jansson's Moomin stories, indigenous activism, trolls as eco-warriors, climate fiction and fairy-tales like H.C Andersen's The Snow Queen. Through the lens of gender, race, and social justice, this course asks the question: What can an ecocritical perspective teach us about ourselves in relation to the natural world today? | ||
| 203 | 2 | In-Person | Lecture | T, Th | 14:00 - 15:30 | Kemple, Thomas | Public NotesTales of Social and Self-Transformation How do cultural forces shape individual desires, and how do each of us resist or adapt to social change? Reading world-shaking fictional writings and thought-provoking non-fiction works from the late 18th century to the present, our course will consider the many ways in which science, technology, capitalism, and colonialism have transformed our very sense of who and what we are. | ||
| 201 | 2 | In-Person | Lecture | T, Th | 14:00 - 15:30 | Morozova, Olena | Public NotesThis course explores how writers, filmmakers, and artists from Eastern Europe respond to the pressures of violent conflict through powerful stories and bold forms of expression. Drawing on literature, film, digital media, and visual art, it examines how technology reshapes the experience of war and blurs the boundaries between battlefield and home front. These works reveal acts of resistance, strategies of survival, and the ongoing struggle to make sense of life in wartime. | ||
| 102 | 1 | In-Person | Lecture | M, W | 14:00 - 15:30 | Nijdam, Elizabeth | Public NotesPop Culture Re-presentations: History, Media, & Memory in Central, Eastern, & Northern Europe This course examines how history and cultural memory have been constructed, contested, and mediated in Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe since 1945. Bringing media studies theory into conversation with foundational memory-studies scholarship, we explore how different media—material, visual, digital, and interactive—shape public understanding of the past and influence contemporary debates about identity, responsibility, and remembrance. Students analyze a wide range of popular cultural forms, including graffiti, monuments and counter-monuments, comics, board games, and video games, to understand how each medium negotiates narratives of war, trauma, division, and reunification. Through critical readings, hands-on analysis, and arts-based research, this course investigates how media both preserve and challenge collective memory, and how artists, designers, and communities continue to reimagine Germany’s postwar history for new generations. There are no prerequisites. | ||
| 104 | 1 | Online | Lecture | T | 14:00 - 15:30 | Hallensleben, Markus | Public NotesGreat Works of Literature from Central, Eastern and Northern Europe (in English): European Identities This course discusses European identities from a decentred point of view. Its goal is to question where Europe begins, ends, and where its centre could be located, culturally and geographically. We critically review hierarchies of power in a short story by Franz Kafka, the colonial context of European history by reading a fairy tale by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, discuss how Germany dealt with the Holocaust after 1945 (Bernhard Schlink: The Reader), and look at Europe from the East by focusing on post-communist Europe and the ‘Balkan’ region (Slavenka Drakulić: Café Europa Revisited). We will also study journalistic writings and documentaries that deal with the EU extension in 2004. | ||

| 101 | 1 | In-Person | Lecture | M, W | 11:00 - 12:30 | Nijdam, Elizabeth | Public NotesThis course explores comics and graphic novels that thematize Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe to examine the relationship between politics, culture, society, and graphic storytelling. Students analyze various texts spanning historical and contemporary contexts, exploring themes such as identity, memory, nationalism, migration, gender, and urban life. By the course's conclusion, students will develop a nuanced understanding of the political, cultural, and social dimensions of European comics. They will refine their critical thinking and visual analysis skills within broader socio-historical frameworks by connecting their assessment of the comics as an art form and cultural artifact to other disciplinary perspectives in German studies, literary studies, cultural studies, art history, and museum studies. In addition to the work of visual analysis, this course will encourage students to use the drawn image critically by producing visual notes and making comics themselves. In particular, the final project asks students to create comics based on archival material, investigating how creators utilize historical documents to craft narratives. |

What topics and contents did newspapers, journals and magazines offer, who read them and why? How did scandals and fake news participate in the making of the German public sphere alongside literary, scientific and philosophical debates? In this course, we will explore the theme of nineteenth-century social media and periodical literature against the larger background of the cultural and political developments of the period. We will read literary texts (novels, novellas, short stories, fairy tales, poems and plays) and journalistic materials in translation, examine archival documents and talk about the production and consumption of fiction and news in German-speaking Europe. Note: This is a cross-listed course. For those taking GERN 344, I will make materials available in German as well. Lectures and discussions will be in English to accommodate everyone’s access to the texts. You have the option of writing your assignments in German and I will be happy to assist with your language needs throughout the semester by providing additional office hours, conversation opportunities and writing advice. |

This course examines selected folk and fairy tales from the German-speaking tradition, primarily those collected by the Brothers Grimm, and their adaptation in popular culture. We will locate the texts in the 18th- and 19th-century cultural contexts of their origins and then follow how they have evolved into perennial favourites internationally across various media, including film, video and tabletop games, and comics. Students will thus explore how fairy tales have changed over the centuries to meet new political, cultural, and social demands while adopting innovative formal and narrative strategies with the emergence of new technologies. |

Your skills in film analysis and your ability to articulate critical responses will be challenged and trained throughout the semester. This course is taught in English, and there are no prerequisites. FilmsBarbara. Dir. Christian Petzold (2012) |

We will watch some of the most iconic along lesser known, yet important films from the period. We will examine the link between post-World War I existential crises and sexuality, the formation of the German star system with an eye to sexualization, and the mediation of childhood in cinema as related to moral panics about desire and sexuality. |

Our course will conduct a careful reading of their most influential works -- above all, Marx's Capital, Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality, and Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle -- in light of their socio-historical context and relevance to contemporary problems. Our task is not just how to interpret these thinkers from various perspectives (literary, philosophical, political, economic, sociological, and psychological), but also to consider how they 'read us' and the challenges we face today. | ||

How do people relate to place? Does the question “Where are you from?” assume a linear narrative and sedentarist perspective of exclusion? How do we narratively create and perform belonging, cultural spaces, phenomenological borders, national and ethnic identities? With an emphasis on selected textual and visual narratives by Germanophone artists and authors from the early 20th century to the present, we will discuss counter-narratives to Eurocentric, ethnically and nationally centred visions of identity and belonging. We will further look at “non-colonial” relations (Garneau) between settler scholars and contemporary Indigenous artists who have critically engaged with European avant-garde techniques when addressing reconciliation and repatriation, and apply Indigenous Storywork (Archibald) as practical decolonial method of knowledge sharing. |

The main objective is to develop interdisciplinary methods for questioning Eurocentric orders of knowledge and rethinking Anglo-American academic norms. In other words, our task is to imagine and practice ways of deconstructing and decolonizing the canon of the humanities and social sciences. Taking the classic ‘preface’ as our starting point – by Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Weber, Simmel, Freud, and others –, we’ll explore disciplinary conventions that have become institutionalized in university research, such as the research proposal, literature review, annotated bibliography, thesis statement, and abstract. Participants are expected to write about and present their own ongoing and future projects for discussion and peer review. |

| A_101 | 1 | In-Person | Seminar | M | 14:00 - 17:00 | Iurascu, Ilinca | Public NotesFollowing the “anthology of literary theory” model, this course surveys foundational texts and critical directions for the study of literary works, with particular focus on questions of labour and its relation to poetics. To facilitate class discussion, we will pair the theoretical approaches with some of the primary texts they analyze. The goal is not to identify “exhaustive” and “exemplary” critical models, but to engage with a variety of historically relevant methodological and disciplinary perspectives in order to build our own strategies of interpretation. |

How do people relate to place? Does the question “Where are you from?” assume a linear narrative and sedentarist perspective of exclusion? How do we narratively create and perform belonging, cultural spaces, phenomenological borders, national and ethnic identities? We will critically discuss concepts and theories of (post)coloniality, Black ecology, exile, diaspora, integration, multiculturality, postmigration, Radical Diversity, reconciliation, repatriation, transnationality and relational epistemologies. Within the educational framework of decolonizing and Indigenizing European and Migration Studies we will further practically apply Indigenous Storywork (Archibald) as scholarly method of knowledge sharing. We will in particular look at “non-colonial” relations (Garneau) between settler scholars and contemporary Indigenous artists who have critically engaged with European avant-garde techniques when addressing reconciliation and repatriation. Our goal is to question Eurocentric notions of belonging, culture, identity, author- and ownership, literature, story and text from a critical diversity literacy perspective (Steyn). |

| 201 | 2 | In-Person | Lecture | M, W, F | 14:00 - 15:00 | Mcewen, Dariya | Public NotesRevolutions of the Mind: Russophone Literature in the Age of Upheaval What happens to literature when history enters its most violent convulsions? From the twilight of empire to the terror of Stalinism, from underground artistic rebellions to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the uneasy freedoms of the post-Soviet years, this course traces a century in which language itself became a battlefield. We follow Russian, Ukrainian, Jewish, and Central Asian authors who wrote in Russian while resisting—or reinventing—the empires that shaped their lives. Their stories confront censorship, exile, surveillance, and the violent remaking of society, yet answer with radical experimentation, dark humour, and startling honesty. Here, literature is never just literature: it is survival, resistance, prophecy, and the last refuge of the human voice when history turns dangerous.
No prerequisites required. All material is in English. |

| C_921 | Online | Lecture | Mcewen, Dariya | Public NotesThis course explores the twentieth-century cultural transformations of Eastern Europe, focusing on Ukraine, Poland, and Croatia. Through literature and film, students will encounter the early 1920s avant-garde artistic experimentation and the subsequent compulsory writing style (Socialist Realism), with its repressive censorship. They will witness the backlash created by artistic communities publishing clandestinely and how their resistance ultimately contributed to the fall of the Soviet bloc. In the aftermath of independence, within a world suddenly opened yet profoundly unsettled, Eastern European societies navigated newly regained sovereignty, as writers and intellectuals once again reconstruct and reimagine their nations through literature.

From the twilight of empire to the terror of Stalinism, from underground artistic rebellions to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the uneasy freedoms of the post-Soviet years, this course traces a century in which language itself became a battlefield. We follow Russian, Ukrainian, Jewish, and Central Asian authors who wrote in Russian while resisting—or reinventing—the empires that shaped their lives. Their stories confront censorship, exile, surveillance, and the violent remaking of society, yet answer with radical experimentation, dark humour, and startling honesty. Here, literature is never just literature: it is survival, resistance, prophecy, and the last refuge of the human voice when history turns dangerous.

| A_201 | 2 | Online | Lecture | Bowers, Katherine | Public NotesRussian and Soviet Science Fiction For centuries, science fiction has captivated people's imaginations. In the context of Russia and the Soviet Union, 18th- and 19th-century writers described visions of utopia and fantastic voyages to the moon, but in the 20th century, which saw extreme scientific and technological advances, the devastation of modern war, the pressure of the Cold War, and the establishment of the Eastern bloc, science fiction came into its own. This course will explore this rich tradition, learning how political ideology, scientific research, and fiction writing influence each other and how we might consider science fiction as a genre in our own context. |

| 101 | 1 | In-Person | Lecture | T, Th | 15:30 - 17:00 | Bowers, Katherine | Public NotesFyodor Dostoevsky is sometimes called the “Seer of the Spirit” because of his uncanny, at times prophetic ability to depict human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmosphere of nineteenth-century Russia. His works introduce frenetic characters, intense narratives, and brutal crimes that give way to spiritual transfiguration; Dostoevsky invites us to reconsider the nature of good and evil, the human condition, and modern life. In this class, we will read experimental novellas, long philosophical novels, and a selection of his shorter satirical and journalistic works in order to understand how his ideas developed across the arc of his career. Along the way we will encounter paradoxes, madness, murder, and, ultimately, come to grapple with some of modernity’s greatest philosophical questions. |
