Description:

In this course, we explore the history of German cinema through primary and secondary texts on films from the silent period through unification. Concomitantly, we will read a Mary Fulbrook's history of Germany in order to place these films within the proper historical contexts and in order to enable us to examine the ways in which German history has insinuated itself in all film genres. The film section highlights the major movement in German cinema since its inception and gives particular attention to the representations of German history and the ways in which German history makes itself apparent in a variety of genres. The class will also consider the interactions between German cinema and Hollywood through clips highlighted in lectures and student presentations.
