  • GERMAN 3363: Diabolical Dilemmas: The Faust Theme in German Literature

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    What is meant by the term “Faustian”? Since ancient times, western societies have fostered the idea that one should strive constantly to achieve all that is in one’s power. At the same time, we have been careful to set ethical and cultural limits and punish those who have overstepped these boundaries. Focusing on tracing the development and permutations of the themes of the Faust legend in Germany over the past 200 years, this course investigates literary treatments of such transgressors in German literature and film, and compares them to actual situations presenting ethical dilemmas.

    Note: (1) The course is conducted in German. (2) In Fall 2010, this course will focus on historical, literary, and philosophical aspects of the concept Faustian through literary works including Goethe’s Faust, Duerrenmatt’s Physicists, and Thomas Mann’s Mario and the Magician, as well as representations in art, music, and film. Discussion, reports, periodic examinations. Prerequisite:    GERMAN 3102 (0226) or permission of instructor

    Franz Kafka is justly regarded as one of the seminal writers of the 20th century.

Works to be read are: Amerika, Der Prozess, Gesammelte Erzaehlungen, etc.
