Literature-Culture-Media: German Literature After the Wall
Teaching – autumn semester of 2020
Due to the announcement from the Swedish Government issued May 29th, that returning to campus-based education is possible from June 15th, the following applies to teaching at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology during the autumn semester:
- Due to the ongoing corona (COVID-19) pandemic and the restrictions that have been issued, the courses taught this autumn will have a limited number of meetings on campus, depending on the availability of suitable lecture rooms. The major part of the teaching will take place online. Detailed information on what is the case for your course will be given below.
- If the teaching is campus-based, there will be assigned entry and exit passages for each teaching room regarding stairwells, corridors and entrances (doorways). Please be considerate and follow the instructions to the point. Hand disinfectant will be available in all lecture halls and group rooms.
Please pay attention to the start time of your teaching. The stated time in your course schedule is valid.
The course focuses on a number of key post-Wall German novels, especially novels from the 1990s which directly or indirectly highlight historical events after the fall of the Wall and the German reunification. The novels are studied in detail against the background of the political and societal situation after the reunification, addressing especially issues of constructing a new German identity and dealing with the past.
The course is an elective component of the Master of Arts programme in Literature – Culture – Media. It is also offered as a freestanding course.
