Seminar –1x2hrs. Lecture and Seminar Schedule Lecture: Mon. 11.10 - 12 Seminar: Tues. 12.10-2 A German Childhood: The overall aim of this course is to develop students' understanding of German culture through the study of texts, written and visual, in the framework of their social and historical context. Students will not only develop their cultural understanding, but also their reading and analytical skills and their language proficiency. The specific focus of the course is growing up in Nazi Germany and Austria. How do children behave in extreme circumstances like these? For those who survived, is it ever possible to escape from the identity of either victim or perpetrator/bystander? In this course we will examine texts and films in which Germans and Austrians, both Jewish and non-Jewish, attempt to make sense of their childhood and come to terms with this most difficult period in German history. Topics to be discussed include schooling, the importance of Nazi youth groups, the influence of mothers, fathers and peer groups and the role of memory in structuring our perceptions of ourselves and our pasts. Prescribed texts: Nöstlinger, Christine: Maikäfer Flieg! Beltz & Gelberg There will also be a reader for this course which can be purchased from Image and Copy at the beginning of the semester. ASSESSMENT An oral presentation, a written presentation, a book journal and a research essay. See the Course Outline for details. 26
