| 101 | 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. |

| 203 | 2 | Online | Lecture | M, W | 11:00 - 12:30 | Hallensleben, Markus | Public NotesEuropean 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.

| 201 | 2 | In-Person | Lecture | T, Th | 15:30 - 17:00 | 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. | ||

| 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. |

| 201 | 2 | In-Person | Lecture | T, Th | 14:00 - 15:30 | Pailer, Gaby | Public NotesThis intermediate-advanced German class will offer students a diverse range of texts and media in German – poetry, narrative prose, and film clips, spanning from the early 20th century to the present. It aims to entice students to develop their own advanced style and voice in German by creative writing, and stylistic study of a variety of materials. In addition, we’ll combine this with a bit of grammatical exercises to broaden students’ comprehension and expression of German. Contentwise, we are striving to further decolonize traditional concepts of teaching German and to put a fresh emphasis on interrelations of class, gender, and race. All materials will be provided on Canvas, and no additional textbook purchases are required. |

The curriculum builds on the vocabulary and grammatical structures introduced in our Beginner and Intermediate language offerings, and it is designed to help you use these in a variety of social configurations, from everyday communication to job interviews. A special focus lies on mastering phrases and idioms that recur frequently in formal and informal settings. To this end, we will engage in role plays emulating everyday life situations in German-speaking settings. This course is taught in German. |

We will critically discuss topics such as diasporic and national belonging, asylum and integration politics, multiculturality and European cultural identity in Germany. We will not only look at the representation of refugees in literary texts, but also in mass media. All readings are in translation and focus on contemporary transnational Germanophone narratives of belonging and migration. While the beginning of the course covers political exile and German immigration politics from a historical perspective, the second part focuses on the “refugee crisis” and the “Welcome Culture” from 2015 up to the present. All course material is available in English translation. Important Note: Readings for GERN 347 have to be done in German. Additional course information can be found here.

Course DescriptionThis course is dedicated to the study of contemporary German films that reflect on current social issues and historical debates. In particular, we will consider the legacy of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, Eastern Germany), the ongoing efforts to represent a multicultural society, and the memory of World War II. Our discussions will focus on the challenges of representing minorities, cultural difference, gender hierarchies and memory cultures. 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 critically discuss topics such as diasporic and national belonging, asylum and integration politics, multiculturality and European cultural identity in Germany. We will not only look at the representation of refugees in literary texts, but also in mass media. All readings are in translation and focus on contemporary transnational Germanophone narratives of belonging and migration. While the beginning of the course covers political exile and German immigration politics from a historical perspective, the second part focuses on the “refugee crisis” and the “Welcome Culture” from 2015 up to the present. All course material is available in English translation. Important Note: Readings for GERN 347 have to be done in German. Additional course information can be found here. Meet in classroom on Wednesdays only. |

The main objective is to develop interdisciplinary methods for questioning Eurocentric orders of knowledge and rethinking Anglo-American academic norms; that is, to deconstruct and decolonize the canon. Taking the classic ‘preface’ as our starting point – by Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsehe, Weber, Simmel, and Freud –, we’ll explore academic 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. This course is cross-listed with IEST_V 505B-101. |

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. |

Is it the constant state of anxiety they endure? Is it their not-so-healthy relationship with death? Could it be their insistence on exposing their children to scary and taboo subjects?

| A_101 | 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. |
