GERM 372 - Outside Voices: German Culture from the Margins

(3)

SP, alternate years. This course looks at German cultural history through the eyes of the outsider. Defining “outsider” as anyone marginalized because of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or native language, course materials focus on the nature of exclusion, resistance, and the way German cultural history and national identity have been shaped by voices traditionally outside of the normative or mainstream culture. Perspectives addressed will include the experiences of women, Jews, Turks, Afro-Germans, Muslims, and other minority groups. Prerequisite: GERM 301, GERM 302, or GERM 303.
