What’s GER 330 about?
It is about exploring the concept of love as it changes over time, using a masterpiece of world literature as a touchstone for exploring more recent works.
Why
should
I
take
this
course?
You will explore transgressive, erotic love, which will give you deeper insight into contemporary, often conflicting understandings of love. You will interact closely with major works of art from German-speaking lands.
What
is
different
about
this
course
from
other
courses?
We use art as our window. We think about how art communicates concepts in ways that are different from any other form of human knowledge.

I learn a lot from student responses about the ways the past can resonate in the present. For example, I enjoy hearing how students from diverse backgrounds respond to these materials. There are often unexpected parallels and insights. So much has changed, and yet, so much remains the same.
