GER-E 121 AN INTRODUCTION TO GERMAN CULTURE (3 CR.)
Introduction to important events of German cultural history. Rather than sticking to the strict chronology of history, it introduces concepts that lend meaning to chronology in the first place. The course is built around ideas-religion, language, literature, sports, for example-that make sense of the changing flow of events and yield historical narratives.

Germany in 24 Objects Like that of any nation, German culture is endless. You can get lost in it. To get a handle on it, we approach it through twenty-four objects, twenty-four windows to a vast and varied world. Some of these objects are well-known, others obscure. But when you consider it closely, each has a story to tell that reveals something essential about German culture. All readings and discussions in English. Required Books James Hawes, The Shortest History of Germany (ISBN-13: 9781615195695). Neil MacGregor, Germany: Memories of a Nation (Knopf, ISBN-13: 9781101875667)
