Comparative Literature
Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours

Providing the distorted and fragmented settings for equally disjointed narratives, the citiscapes of German modernist novels are impersonal, transient, and fraught with significance. We will examine the ways in which representations of Berlin, Paris, Vienna, and New York evoke the onslaught of sensory stimuli on the human cognitive apparatus, the social effects of major cultural and economical transformations, and various reconfigurations of history and memory.
Instructor: S. Boos
