S-MinorityDiscourses/Germany90

This course seeks to explore possible intersections (and divergences) between Black German, Turkish German and German Jewish experiences and aesthetic interventions into German public and political discourses on memory, racism, citizenship, immigration, and history. We'll engage in close readings of literary texts in tandem with secondary sources, examining similarities, overlap, and differences.

ST-Alterity&Authorty/C. Euro

Authority and alterity are key concepts for our understanding of the conflations of film, everyday life, and politics, in the former East Germany and in Central European countries, including Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary. In their multiple facets, authority and alterity encompass everyday and political oppression and resistance, heteronormativity vs. queerness, women?s struggles in socialist and capitalist societies vs. feminist sensibilities, etc.
