This course explores film and literature as two modes of apprehending and re-visiting the past, inspired by Nietzsche¿s speculations on the interplay of forgetting, remembering, and promising as key aspects of art and culture. In weekly screenings, we will explore the visual mysteries of German film noir and its influence on the detective and mystery film genres of American and world cinema. Then, broadening our horizon, we will examine recent films that play with noir themes. Forgetting, memory and the often perilous search for truth will be further explored in a popular German detective novel and through masterpieces of German literature by Kafka, Grass, and Frisch.
