This course surveys post-war German culture to disclose the alignment of literature and the arts, opposition and revolution. The curriculum focuses on the history and the artistic (self-) representations of German militant organizations (Red Army Faction, Movement 2 June). Transcending the traditional narratives of political protest, the course will first explore the foundations and representations of post-war German terrorism and then look at the arts (G. Richter).
THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT IN ENGLISH.
Course Requirements:
Regular attendance and participation (20%), five written responses (50%), one longer written final assignment (30%). No regular final exam is given in this course.
