GERM 433 - Selected Authors, Works, Themes (Senior Seminar)

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 HU, CD

European nations – including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland - have become increasingly multicultural since the arrival of guest workers in the 1950’s and 60’s, a process that was greatly accelerated by the opening of the eastern borders after 1989. Literature increasingly reflects these developments, with some of the most interesting works being written by “minority authors.” We shall examine works by authors of various backgrounds, e.g. Frischmuth, Mehr, Rabinovici, Jungk, Honigmann, Senocak, Özdamar, Said, Wagner and others.
