| 3 hours Contestations of the National Imaginary in Postwar German Cinema In this course we will examine how the national imaginary has been re-created, critiqued, and transformed in German film time and again since 1945. We will organize our discussions around the following themes, which have been central to the projection and the critique of the German national imaginary: coming to terms with / repressing the past, the relationship with America, Terror and the critique of capitalism, German division and unification, migration. As we will examine the films? contributions to these debates, we will put equal emphasis on their formal analysis and their historical context. The principal questions of this course will allow us to survey important movements and genres of German cinema since WW II such as rubble films, 50s war and Heimat ? films, New German Cinema, DEFA films, and migrant cinema. Screenings will include films by K?utner, Deppe, Beyer, Wolf, Fassbinder, Herzog, Kluge, von Trotta, Sanders-Brahms, Akin. Hirschbiegel. |
