GRM 353 Remembering Divided Germany

This course uses a variety of contemporary texts—fiction, journalism, memoir, music, film—to explore how Germany’s division during the Cold War is understood today. Ultimately, we ask whether we can speak of a unified Germany and, if not, what prevents us from doing so. We practice reading, close analysis, and introduce cultural theory; expand vocabulary; and increase precision in speaking and writing.
