GERMAN (W26)103  CINE.OF FEAR IN GERBROADBENT, P.
German 103: Cinema of Fear in German

Fear knows no social, no cultural, no political bounds: fear of school, fear of heights, fear of poverty, fear of illness, fear of the devil, fear of failure, fear of war, fear of the present, fear of the future. Fear can separate us from each other and be the reason to come together.  No one can convince someone else that their fears are unfounded, but fears can be contained and dissipated through representation and discussion. What ways did German cinema follow to represent, dissipate but also spread fear? What visual language of fear, of anxiety, of terror did film directors from Murnau and Lang to Herzog, Haneke, and Petzold experiment with to illuminate, entertain, and critique the fears of their societies? In our course we will watch and analyze central and marginalized films of German cinema—from Weimar films to Nazi Cinema to works by contemporary directors—to better understand how fears of the other and fears of ourselves, the fear of the present and of the future have frightfully changed and uncannily stayed the same. Course readings for GER 103 are in German.
