  • GRMN 379: Decadence

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Distribution Course in Arts & Letters. Class of 2009 & prior only. Weissberg. Prerequisite(s): GRMN 215 or equivalent. Lectures and discussions in German. The period of the late nineteenth and turn to the twentieth century has often been described as a time of decadence--a decline in the "standards" of morals and virtue. While Freud explored the nature of sexual desire, writers like Schnitzler or Wedekind made this exploration central for their stories or plays. The course will focus on the literature and culture of fin-de-siecle Vienna and Berlin, and consider a variety of texts as well as their later reception and translation into film. Lectures and discussion in German.

  • GRMN 380: Heimat

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Distribution Course in Arts & Letters. Class of 2009 & prior only. MacLeod. Prerequisite(s): GRMN 215 or equivalent. Taught in German. The concept of Heimat (homeland, home, roots) has been a focal point of German culture for at least the past two hundred years; but it has no precise translation into English. Heimat is deeply connected with German notions of modernity, nature, community, and gender; but the question of where one belongs has also been associated with escapism, exclusion and marginality. Beginning with a reading of Freud's essay "Das Unheimliche," we will explore literary representations of Heimat (including works by authors such as Eichendorff, Storm, Stifter, Raabe, and Sebald); nineteenth-century paintings by artists such as Leibl; and Edgar Reitz's epic film Heimat (1984).

  • GRMN 395: Thesis Writers' Colloquium

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Wiggin / MacLeod. Prerequisite(s): Limited to seniors writing thesis. In the true spirit of a colloquium (= an informal meeting for the exchange of views), this course provides you with the opportunity to engage in a series of conversations about your thesis project. Our discussions will focus on research tools and methods and on the writing process. It is tailored as much as possible to meet individual needs. Most importantly, the colloquium should not add to the burden of writing a thesis but should facilitate its completion. Thus, its primary goal is a successfully completed senior thesis. To assist you in obtaining this goal, several short written assignments will be required.
