This course explores the crime genre in German film and television and offers an overview of selected historical developments in German literature. In addition to contextualizing the genre within the premiere crime of the twentieth century, the Holocaust, the course explores its function as a mediation on the role of evil, the power of law, and the tension between society and individuals or marginalized groups.

Comparative Literature 165F: Truth, Lies, and Literature
3.00 Credits
Hamilton College
In an age of Internet dating, conspiracy theories, and fierce politicking, the line between fact and fiction quickly blurs. Examines how and why literature manipulates "truth" to formulate a story, as well as texts in which falsity is to be believed; in which biographical details invade what is claimed to be a work of fiction; in which the reader is also a character; and in which historical or literary fact is altered or invented. Works may include those by Bierce, Butler, Calvino, Dick, Fforde, Fuentes, O'Brien, and Vonnegut. (Writing-intensive.) Maximum enrollment, 20. J Schwartz.

Comparative Literature 214F: Literature and the Built Environment: Imag(in)ing Place and Space
3.00 Credits
Hamilton College
Be it an invisible city or simple apartment building, built environments disclose a vital interplay of material, spatial, cultural, and aesthetic forces. This course explores such environments through the literature that (re)produces a representation thereof. The texts we study challenge conventional discussions about "environment" as being necessarily synonymous with "nature," and consider how our own natures both shape and are shaped by our inventions-real or imaginary. Works selected from the following authors: Calvino, Lem, Borges, Neufeld, Verne, Ballard, Coleridge, and Stephenson. J Schwartz.

Comparative Literature 228S: From Different to Monstrous: Muslim (and Christian) Subversions and Coercions
3.00 Credits
Hamilton College
The Iberian Peninsula (now home to Spain and Portugal) was the site of over 700 years of medieval Jewish, Muslim and Christian exchanges. A look into this textual space of Iberian difference after it was officially labeled as dark, evil and monstrous by the Renaissance Catholic Church State. A consideration of marginal Muslim writers like Ibrahim de Bolfad, Muhammad Rabadan and al-Wahrani exposes so-called proponents of Catholic orthodoxy like Don Quijote de la Mancha - not as enemies, but as fellow skeptics of the Monarchy's attempts to extinguish difference. (Writing-intensive.) Prerequisite, one course in literature. (Same as Religious Studies 228.) Maximum enrollment, 20. A Mescall.
