Weimar: the Golden Twenties Univ of Dallas HISTORY 3316-002: Weimar: The Golden Twenties Fall 2010 Paul Rutschmann Office: History Office T, TH 2:00pm-3:20pm Office Hours: T, TH 12:30-2:00pm or by appointment Tel.: 972-721-5390 Classroom: Science Building 007 Email: [email protected] Course Content This course is a cultural historical perspective of the Weimar Republic and it will provide the student with the opportunity to examine the uniquely creative and innovative spirit of German society during the brief period of its first democracy, from 1918-1933. The Weimar Republic is generally remembered today for its vibrant and modernist culture developed in the 1920s in which the spirit of Weimar can be perceived as a spirit that danced on the edge of a volcano. The term Weimar culture is closely associated with the pulsating, decadent nightlife of Berlin where slogans “everything that pleases is allowed” appeared credible. Along with examples from Berlin’s unique theater life, students will also be introduced to many of Weimar’s notable cultural and artistic achievements through examination of such topics as German Expressionism in art and literature, and the merging of art and craft in the modernist school of the Bauhaus. The student will examine various forms of social tensions of Weimar society as portrayed in such film classics as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, and The Blue Angel. In addition to the study of film, the student will read selections of fiction from writers such as Franz Werfel and Friedrich Wolf whose works exemplify the deep conflicts of Weimar society. Student Learning Outcomes This course provides students with basic information about the cultural experience of Weimar 1919-1933. This information will be presented in form of readings from two textbooks and additional texts (in a course reading packet), which students are expected to read in preparation of each class. Short quizzes will test the students’ ability to absorb the major information and arguments from these readings and ensure that the students are prepared for participation in class discussion. A number of films will be shown in class, some in their entirety, and others as Univ of Dallas excerpts. The seminar setting will allow students to work on their skills of presentation and argumentation. It gives students an opportunity to engage in discussions and play an active role in the learning process. The writing of concise reviews will help students develop their skills in interpreting, analyzing, and critiquing the major arguments. Textbooks Weitz, Eric. Weimar Germany: Promise and Tragedy. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2007. Gay, Peter. Weimar Culture: The Outsider as Insider. New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 1968. Course Reading Packet (available in the History Office). Attendance and Drop Policy - NEED TO RE-WRITE Attendance will be taken at the beginning of all classes. I will not drop students for excessive absences. However, please be reminded that participation counts for 20% of your final grade. Students are responsible for dropping a course before the cut-off date for drops. Last day to drop courses: (TBA) Course Requirements and Grading: Class Participation: 20% Four Review Quizzes: 20% 1 Film and 2 Book Reviews (Each 10pts.) 30% Final: 30% The final grade consists of four components: (1) class participation; (2) review quizzes; (3) movie and article reviews; a comprehensive final. The grade for class participation is based on your physical presence in class and your active AND informed participation in class discussion. To ensure that you are prepared for each class, you will be given four review quizzes. Each quiz will consist of five short-answer questions and each quiz is worth five percent. To prepare for these quizzes, you need to thoroughly read the texts assigned for each class and take notes or underline important information. These are open-book quizzes, and in addition to your text, you may use your notes during the quiz but NOT your notebook or computer. Univ of Dallas Movie and article reviews should not exceed three pages (Times New Roman 12 pt., double spaced and normal margins). Please keep in mind that these are reviews and NOT reports. Movie reviews have to provide an interpretation and analysis of the movie’s main theme(s) and not just summarize the movie plot. The same applies for reviews of historical texts: students are expected to examine and analyze the main argument, providing critique of the author’s argument. I accept ONLY paper submissions. Failure to submit the review in time results in a penalty for late submission (one letter grade per day). The final is comprehensive, meaning the student is responsible for the material in all reading assignments, including major themes of films shown in class, as well as major points developed in classroom discussion. Please keep in mind that this is NOT a lecture course but a seminar (meaning that this is a student-centered form of academic learning).

  • CHAPTER 2 the Period of the Weimar Republic Is Divided Into Three
    CHAPTER 2 BERLIN DURING THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC The period of the Weimar Republic is divided into three periods, 1918 to 1923, 1924 to 1929, and 1930 to 1933, but we usually associate Weimar culture with the middle period when the post WWI revolutionary chaos had settled down and before the Nazis made their aggressive claim for power. This second period of the Weimar Republic after 1924 is considered Berlin’s most prosperous period, and is often referred to as the “Golden Twenties”. They were exciting and extremely vibrant years in the history of Berlin, as a sophisticated and innovative culture developed including architecture and design, literature, film, painting, music, criticism, philosophy, psychology, and fashion. For a short time Berlin seemed to be the center of European creativity where cinema was making huge technical and artistic strides. Like a firework display, Berlin was burning off all its energy in those five short years. A literary walk through Berlin during the Weimar period begins at the Kurfürstendamm, Berlin’s new part that came into its prime during the Weimar period. Large new movie theaters were built across from the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church, the Capitol und Ufa-Palast, and many new cafés made the Kurfürstendamm into Berlin’s avant-garde boulevard. Max Reinhardt’s theater became a major attraction along with bars, nightclubs, wine restaurants, Russian tearooms and dance halls, providing a hangout for Weimar’s young writers. But Berlin’s Kurfürstendamm is mostly famous for its revered literary cafés, Kranzler, Schwanecke and the most renowned, the Romanische Café in the impressive looking Romanische Haus across from the Memorial church.

The so-called Golden Twenties FFILMILM FILM however was also a decade in which Germany had to deal with the aftermath of the First World War. Film CULTURE CULTURE Front Weimar shows how Germany tried to reconcile IN TRANSITION IN TRANSITION the horrendous experiences of the war through the war films made between 1919 and 1933. These films shed light on the way Ger- many chose to remember its recent past. A body of twenty-five films is analysed. For insight into the understanding and reception of these films at the time, hundreds of film reviews, censorship re- ports and some popular history books are discussed. This is the first rigorous study of these hitherto unacknowledged war films. The chapters are ordered themati- cally: war documentaries, films on the causes of the war, the front life, the war at sea and the home front.

  • The Careers of Professor Mamlock
    The Careers of Professor Mamlock: From Exile Drama, to Soviet Adaptation, to Postwar Remake y By Stefan Soldovieri r a r b i L m l i F Why remake? Since the beginnings of the medium, film industries have engaged in remaking as a way A F E D of capitalizing on the success of past productions. By updating popular subjects, exchanging national set - e h t y b tings (in the context of transnational remakes, for instance), or simply exploiting advances in sound, color, e s a e and other technologies, remakes have consistently offered a successful strategy for risk-averse film indus - l e R tries. Yet remaking was not a prominent production strategy at the state-owned DEFA Studio, where the D V D A return on investment was frequently measured in potential educational and ideological, as opposed to finan - • k c cial outcomes. Few DEFA films were remakes and even fewer East German productions were themselves o l m reprised. From this perspective, Konrad Wolf’s Professor Mamlock —which is based on the 1933 exile play by a M r o s his father, Friedrich Wolf, and preceded by a 1938 Soviet screen adaptation—is unusual in the history of East s e f o r German cinema. P • e k a Premiering at East Berlin’s Colosseum cinema on 17 May 1961, just months before the erection of the m e R r Berlin Wall, the postwar Professor Mamlock emerged on the cusp of the New Wave cinemas of eastern and a w t s o western Europe and efforts at aesthetic renewal at DEFA.

  • Berlin History – Down the Centuries Berlin’S Locations Where History Happened
    Berlin History – Down the centuries Berlin’s locations where history happened 1 Berlin History – Down the centuries Berlin’s locations where history happened Since it was founded in the Middle Ages, Berlin has been at the heart of historical events – from the rise of Prussia and the founding of the German Empire to the construction of the Berlin Wall and German reunification. The decisions taken here shaped the fate of the country – and sometimes the entire world. The traces of the past across the city take visitors on an exciting journey through time. Today, Berlin’s eventful history, past and present, is just as fascinating as it always has been. A city in flux In historical terms, Berlin is a young city. Founded in the thirteenth century as Berlin-Cölln, the settlement occupied a major strategic position in what was known as the March of Brandenburg. Soon, it developed into the region’s leading trading and market town. In the early seventeenth century, Berlin was almost entirely destroyed in the Thirty Years War. Afterwards, Friedrich Wilhelm, Elector of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia, revitalised the town to create a flourishing cultural and economic centre. The rulers who followed, later kings in and then of Prussia, developed the city as their royal residence. In 1871, with the founding of the German Empire, Berlin became the new capital, growing into a major metropolis with an international profile. In the Golden Twenties, the city’s many attractions and vibrant night life drew thousands of visitors, as did the first major trade fairs held here.

  • Dr. Anja Richter E-Mail-Adresse
    Name: Dr. Anja Richter E-Mail-Adresse: [email protected] Kurstitel: Schlüsselwerke der deutschen Literatur von der Klassik bis zur Gegenwart Track: B-Track Kurssprache: German Veranstaltungsumfang: 48 (6 per day) ECTS-Credits: 4 Course description This course provides an overview of the history of German literature from the 18th to the 21st century. Starting from the knowledge that the psychological sensitivities of an age are reflected in literature, and supported by reading and discussing representative texts - e.g. from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Heinrich Heine, Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht or Ferdinand von Schirach - the focus of the seminar is based on the following questions: What desires, demands and utopias can be found in the literature? How influential are the developments of the history of thought, social upheavals and technological innovations on literary expression? What interplay exists between art, music and literature? Can fiction also be seen as inspiration for social changes? And: how do the respective authors corporate literary legacies into their own works? A valid and living impression of literary development from the classical period to the present will not only be provided through texts, but also through film clips and field trips. For instance, we will visit the Deutsches Historisches Museum and obtain deeper insight into the art of the Romantic period with a tour through the Alte Nationalgalerie. Student profile Aside from the language requirements, participants must not exhibit any special knowledge of German literature or history. The seminar is directed toward students of various majors who are interested in German literature and its historical connections from the classic period to the modern day.
