CZCH 0610B - Psychosis of Occupation in the Czech Lands

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Discussion of the Occupation period during WWII. The course is built around a Czech New Wave classic film about an eccentric director of a crematorium in Prague, who turns into a fanatic collaborator under the terror and demagogy of the regime. We will also read excerpts from the original literary text on which the film was based, and texts on Czech history to expand our discussion on the post-war East Europe and beyond. Separate language tasks are given to students of two proficiency levels (2nd and 3rd year). Conducted in Czech. The course is for students who completed CZCH 0410 or the equivalent.
