GERMAN (F22)150  GESICHT: FACES IN 19TH CENTURY EUROPENAVE, S
What’s in a face? Does a face tell us anything about a person’s character? Is there a science that connects an individual’sexternal appearance and internal being? How do literary descriptions of faces affect the reader’s understanding of a fictional figure?
In the 19th century, there was a shift in the way Europeans thought and wrote about faces. Influenced by theories like phrenology (study of skull shapes) and physiognomy(study of face and character), the literary and scientific communities engaged with the idea that a person's character might be written on their face. This course surveys the way faces were written, drawn, and thought about during the long 19th century, with a focus on Germany, England, and France. What made the idea of “reading faces” so compelling and persuasive to Europeans at the time? How did scientific and literary communities influence one another on this topic? What are the consequences of physiognomic theories on society(e.g., scientific racism)? Given the role of facial recognition AI, these questions are particularly relevant for understanding our world.
GERMAN (F22)102  REMEMBERING AND REPRESENTING THE HOLOCAUSTEVERS, K.
Since the end of World War II, historians, social scientists, and psychologists have tried to find origins, reasons, and explanations for the Holocaust, but these accounts never fully satisfy our quest for understanding this global catastrophe.  Can literature, art, and film illuminate those dimensions left unanswered by historical and psychological approaches?  What exactly are the problems involved in
representing the holocaust today?  This course analyzes representations of the Shoah by historians, directors, theorists, writers, and artists. Analyzing documentaries and films, reading survivors' testimonies, fictional accounts, theoretical and historical reflections, we ask how the catastrophe of the mass murder of the European Jewry been represented in Germany and its neighboring European countries. European and American cultures across disciplines?  How have the aesthetic, political, and cultural limits to remember and represent Auschwitz changed from the end of the war until today?
