| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2699 In 1784 Friedrich Schiller started a discussion about theater as a moral institution. With this in mind, this course will provide an overview of the historical development of drama within the German-speaking world and also explore foreign influences on German drama. We will read and watch a variety of different plays from Lessing to Jelinek, and engage with different theatrical genres: classical, epic, documentary, absurd, and feminist theater. In addition, we will discuss the function of the institutionalization of theater within the German national imaginary, with a particular focus on gender and race. This course is taught in German.; Enrollment Limit: 20 Humanities (; Hav: HU) |
