Department Summary
Our department focuses on modernity in German language contexts (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), and on Scandinavian cultures from medieval to modern.
Our various sub-concentrations, which in addition to literary history (lyric, drama, narrative) include philosophical and theoretical discourses (19th and 20th century German philosophy, literature theory, psychoanalysis, Frankfurt School cultural theory, poststructuralism, and contemporary European thought), Holocaust and memory studies, Environmental Humanities, film and media, visual culture, and folk traditions, represent substantive links to other departments and programs, in particular Philosophy, History, Judaic Studies, Art History, Music, English, Comparative Literature, Folklore, and Cinema Studies.
With ample opportunity for study abroad, our 50 undergraduate majors pursue the B.A. with a focus in one of three areas : German Literature and Language;
Scandinavian; German & Scandinavian Studies. Language instruction covers German and Swedish.
Our graduate curriculum is designed to provide M.A. and Ph.D. students with a firm grounding in modern (post-1750) German literature, to enable them to locate this literature within the context of modern European history and thought, and to connect it to contemporary literature, politics, and culture on a global scale.
