GMST 008. Texts in Contexts: Topics in German Culture and Society from the Reformation until Today
GMST 008 is a 4th semester course integrating the continued work on advancing the students’ linguistic skills with the acquisition of cultural, historical, and literary content about German-speaking countries. This course is the gateway to all upper level courses in the German studies curriculum. Topics alternate every year.
Topic for Spring 2015: Deutsche Popmusik - Von Gassenhauer bis Hip Hop
In this course, we will trace the development of German popular music from Weimar era street and vaudeville hits, musical films of the Third Reich and the postwar decades, to post-1968 protest songs, German Schlager, New German Wave, and Hip Hop. While fine-tuning your knowledge of German cultural history, advancing your stylistic, lexical and grammatical competency in German will be the overall goal.
