Module Outline
This course, which is taught and assessed in German, provides insights into significant historical and cultural developments in the second part of the 20th century in Germany, possibly with some reference also to the first decade of the 21st century. The precise socio-political themes, artistic movements or cultural artefacts selected for study may vary from year to year, according to the faculty delivering the tuition. However, these will typically include aspects of social, political and cultural change in the period, such as the aftermath of war, "memorial culture", and the divison of Germany. Aspects of cultural life will include literature (e.g. works by Sebald and Schlink), and developments in the cinema and/or theatre. The objective is to convey a flavour of the period and to plant seeds of interest for possible self-directed study in later stages of the programme, notably in the Year Abroad or final year dissertations.
