GERM 10.02 From God's Subjects to Global Citizens (in German)
This course surveys the history and culture of the German-speaking lands to investigate the individual’s role in a changing society. Discussions will stress the uneven path of subjects, dependent on God, the ruler, or social hierarchy, towards becoming autonomous citizens. What role has philosophy, poetry, art, architecture, or music played in this emancipation process? Thinking and writing about this question will help intermediate language learners practice grammar, acquire vocabulary, and strengthen listening, speaking, and writing skills. Conducted in German.
Prerequisite
GERM 3, or equivalent.
