This course is explores the state of the European union today with respect to the issue of collective identity formation by integrating the historical development of the EU with studying its evolving institutional structure. The course examines how culture which was originally only an afterthought of European integration has gained in importance since the overarching permissive consensus with which European populations passively supported the integration process began to crumble with the Maastricht treaty of 1992. Through a variety of sources from across the social sciences, political theory and social philosophy, the course elucidates how EU cultural policy aims to engender a transnational European identity.

GER 1526 - DRAMA OF IDEAS
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Although it has been argued that “a poem should not mean, but be”, many writers have unashamedly given their art a didactic function. This course identifies the types of causes that literary artists traditionally have championed, and then focuses on the literary techniques that they used to achieve their end. The course is thus a study of “the art of moral persuasion”. The principal works investigated are “dramas of ideas” by such playwrights as Ibsen, Shaw, and Brecht, although supplemental prose writings are also included.

GER 1542 - MARX AND MARXISM
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Having recently passed the 150th anniversary of the publication of capital volume 1, we recognize that our world has changed a great deal since its publication. Yet, in reviewing many of these changes, it is not overstated to say that the works of Karl Marx have provided the transformational impulse. Who was this person, Karl Marx? Why is it that in this post-cold war world his writings continue both to inspire and threaten contemporary readers? How have those inspired by Marx further developed his ideas to constitute the discourse of Marxism? These are some of the questions that this course will raise and try to answer. We will begin with discussions of key works by Marx. Concentrating on the question of culture and cultural analysis, we will then move on to examine some significant contributions to Marxism. The course will end by looking at contemporary attempts at rethinking Marxism.

GER 1548 - NEW GERMAN CINEMA
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Devastated after World War II, starting in the 1960s a number of German directors like Herzog, Fassbinder, Wenders, Kluge, Annders-Abrahms managed to bring international attention back to German cinema. They competed against the film industry of Hollywood under difficult conditions of production, and in many instances made the difficult transition out of the art house and into the mainstream movie theater. Yet these names only represent a small portion of those directors active in the new German cinema. This class will examine the aesthetic and technical contributions of new German cinema as well as the historical and social context of its production. The technological, financial, and intellectual destruction caused by the experience of national socialism and World War II required creative responses that have led to a solid and symbolically rich body of work. In examining the themes and experimental forms of various filmmakers, students will gain insight into the issues that occupied the German public sphere from the 1960s onward.
