Please visit our website www.fubis.org for any organisational changes that might affect the course programme. The metropolis Berlin has always been relevant for literary developments and films. This course will look at the mutually constitutive ways in which Berlin as a place and Berlin as an object for text/film have defined each other since the end of World War II. Rather than providing a survey of 20th and 21st century German literature and film, we will discuss works that present conflicting views and imaginings of three historically distinct Berlins: Berlin during the immediate post-war period, Berlin as a divided city, and Berlin as Germany's reunified new capital. Examining representations of Berlin within these three periods, we will focus our discussions of key concepts and issues such as "Heimat", the political and social vocation of art, and contending notions of national identity. In addition, we will visit important sites of literary production and explore the vastÂ variety of the city's cultural offerings.
