Notes

【Course Objectives】

This seminar focuses on the novel Die Toten (2016) by the Swiss author Christian Kracht. The text connects Germany on the eve of the National Socialist seizure of power with Japan in the 1930s and examines the interrelations between literature, film, and politics. The aim of the course is to deepen students’ understanding of literary representations of historical and media-related contexts and to further develop their ability to conduct independent textual analysis. Particular attention is given to Kracht’s distinctive narrative style, especially his use of irony, narrative distance, and intertextual references. These learning objectives are supported and assessed through close reading in the seminar, accompanying assignments, and an oral presentation.

【Course Contents】

In this course, the novel Die Toten (2016) by the Swiss author Christian Kracht is read and jointly analyzed in a seminar setting. The text is examined within the historical context of the 1930s, with particular attention to Germany on the eve of the National Socialist seizure of power as well as to contemporary Japan.

A central focus of the course lies on the representation of film as a cultural and political medium and on the interrelations between literature, film, and politics. In addition, key motifs, character constellations, and narrative techniques of the novel are explored.

The course is conducted as a seminar and is based on close reading, plenary discussion, and analytical work on selected passages from the text. Oral presentations and accompanying assignments serve to deepen engagement with specific aspects of the novel and to consolidate the material covered in class.
