- Class Description:
Tinkering with Nature: This course (taught in German) provides an introduction to the study of German literature through texts involving environmental perspectives.
The connection between a sense of nature and cultural identity has a long and fascinating history in German-speaking countries that predates contemporary environmental awareness. It's also interlinked with the development of modern literary genres and ecocritism. We'll read and discuss drama, fiction, and poetry describing the beauty of the natural landscapes, the impact of culture on nature, and the ethical dilemmas that arise when humans interact with the environment. Primary readings include works by E.T.A. Hofmann, Georg Buechner, Annette von Droste-Huelshoff, and Thomas Mann. Examples of works to be read are Bertolt
Brecht's play Leben des Galilei, Friedrich Duerrenmatt's Die Physiker, and Christa Wolf's novella about the Chernobyl nuclear accident, Stoerfall: Nachrichten eines Tages. Multi-media materials and poetry will complement these selections and help exercise close-reading skills.
