【Course Objectives】

Students will practice reading primary and secondary literatures in German correctly and critically. Students acquire knowledge about different research fields and topics in German cultural studies. Through these trainings students will develop the ability to carry out their research activities autonomously.

【Course Contents】

Students will read “Die Flucht aus der Zeit“ (published 1927), an autobiography of Hugo Ball, known as the founder of Zurich Dadaism. He was not only active as an artist, but also engaged in political and social critics, advocating anti-war and socialism. In his later years he returned to Catholicism. Reading this autobiography in a recently published historical critical edition, students will gain a deeper understanding of Balls eccentric biography and his era.
