MDL116   Visions of Germany   (20 credits)

Description

The module introduces students to significant examples of art and visual culture, and explores a range of possible critical approaches to them. The focus is on visual representations of Germany's history (art, memorials, architecture, film, posters and postcards) from 1900 to the present. These are analysed in the context of social and political developments, but students are also introduced to key cultural and critical approaches. Teaching and assessment is in English, and films are available with English subtitles. Secondary reading (in German, and with suitable alternatives in English for students with no A Level in German) will also be available via the course reading list. Post A-level students of German are required to use and cite the German materials.
