Description: VIENNA AND ITS PEOPLE (SPECIAL TOPICS SEMINAR
*****
In this course we will look at the people of Vienna from the Austrian Biedermeier to the post-second world war period. Our readings (fiction and non-fiction), film viewings (feature films and documentaries), and class discussions will allow us to meet the Viennese as people of all classes and ethnic and national groups, the privileged makers and receivers of high culture as well as the under-privileged who had their own culture. We will study Vienna as a city, not on the periphery of the German-speaking world, but in the very heart of the Central Europe of the past century as well as the rapidly changing Central Europe of today. Readings and materials from various disciplines (history, social sciences, philosophy, fine arts, music, and literature). Language proficiency minimally at intermediate-high. Materials, discussion, and assignments in German.
*****
PREREQUISITE: minimum proficiency of intermediate high (speaking and writing); successful completion of German 303 (or equivalent).
