GER 238 - Berlin Stories and Histories (in trans.)

Examines Berlin’s turbulent history–from its founding and the eventual rise of Prussia to German Imperialism, the Weimar Republic, National Socialism, the Cold War, unification, and European integration. Our goal will be to illuminate how German historical continuities and transformations are reflected, anticipated, legitimated in the arts; predominantly in literature, but also in architecture, painting, and film. Attendance at screenings is mandatory.
