GRM 372 Culture of Weimar Germany

This course explores the turbulent history of Germany's Weimar Republic (1919-1933), a time of political upheaval, social change, and artistic innovation, particularly in cinema. We'll examine how artists and writers depicted the conflicts of their time, focusing on the clash between anachronistic and modern values in German film, literature, art, and culture. Along the way, we will also develop our German language skills.
