FYSP 064 - What Is Pop? German Fiction, Film and Music Since 1989FC ARHU CD WINT
4 credits
What is “pop”? What characterizes pop music, literature or film? Is the popular innocuous by definition, or can it work to undermine sources of power and authority? These questions will guide our thoughts, discussions, and writing about how German pop has addressed controversial topics, such as social upheaval, immigration, sex and gender, and racism. Our aim is to deepen our understanding of pop and to examine how pop intervenes in pressing issues, in our own societies and globally. Through our investigations and class discussions, we will learn to think critically about pop and “read” it through a scholarly lens.
