One of the advantages of studying at the UW is being able to take courses in Dutch. Although the study of Dutch Linguistics and Literature has steadily expanded at major American universities in recent years, many universities do not offer this language. Since Dutch is a Germanic language--linguistically related to both German and English--and since Dutch culture and literature have always had close ties to both German- and English speaking cultures, Dutch is a logical choice as an additional language for American students of German language, literature and culture.

245: Topics in Dutch Life and Culture: The Low Countries: a Culture of High Water, 3 cr.
Taylor, Lec 1, TR 1:00-2:15 Call No. 85999
Prerequisites: Open to freshmen.
All readings and lectures in English.

The Low Countries are famous for their close relationship with the water: windmills, dikes, and Hans Brinker's silver skates are among the most persistent popular symbols of this "edge" of Europe- at least since "Hollandmania." This course will provide a thorough introduction to the Low Countries, their history and their contemporary culture, by focusing on their love/hate relationship to the water. The water means danger, and thus dikes (and-famously-the need to cooperate), but also trade, opportunity, beauty, and a resolute openness to the world. We will discuss what terps and polders are - but also the recent idea of the "polder model," and which aspects of Dutch culture it has come to honor and criticize. We will look at the meaning of water in Dutch history and geography; at its effects on economic, military, and political life; at its treatment in art and literature; its times of greatest damage (floods, including 1953) and Dutch responses (polders, windmills, the Delta plan, environmentalism). We will discuss the Hanseatic cities of the Netherlands, 17th Century art, water as defense strategy, the V.O.C. (Dutch East-India Company), land reclamation, the Eleven-Cities skating race, (photos of) contemporary landscapes, and Dutch views of what all these mean.

Meets with German 284
In this intensive, seminar-style course we will read and discuss a selection of German literary texts from the 18th to the 20th century, including prose fiction, lyric poetry, and drama. Through close and careful reading and class discussion, students will become familiar with the major literary periods, while short lectures will provide the cultural and historical background of the texts. The main work of the course is discussion of the readings; this involves a cooperative effort to which everyone is expected to contribute. Working in pairs or small groups, students will be responsible for planning and leading some of the discussions. Course work will also include weekly informal response papers, formal essays, and a final exam. Though nominally a 5-credit course, this course fulfills the 6 credit literature requirement for students in L&S. The course is taught in German.

Prerequisites: German 226 or Consent of Instructor.

This course is designed to provide students with a thorough overview of the German language from the perspective of modern linguistic analysis. We will consider how German (or more specifically, the different forms of spoken and written German) is put together as a linguistic system, for example, in terms of its sound system and grammar, as well as how different speakers actually use the language. After a brief look at the history of the language, we will spend about half the semester analyzing the internal structure of German, starting at the smallest level, that of individual sounds, and then proceed to consider how German words are formed and arranged in sentences. Beyond the sentence level, we will move on to questions of "meaning" (semantics and pragmatics). We will wrap up the course by looking at German from the external perspectives of geography (dialectology), ethnicity (e.g., German spoken by non-ethnic Germans), gender (e.g., language and sexism), and politics (e.g., German during the Nazi and pre-unification periods). The primary "text" for the course will be a CD-ROM that is both Mac and Windows compatible, "Die interaktive Einführung in die Linguistik 2.0." This virtual text will be complemented by a copy pack of readings and handouts.

Heute im Rahmen der Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften von nationaler Identität zu sprechen heißt, sich auf unsicheren Boden zu begeben. Der Philosoph Jacques Derrida faßt diese Problematik in seinem neueren Buch über den Begriff der "Kultur Europas" (Das andere Kap. Die vertagte Demokratie) folgendermaßen zusammen: "Es ist einer Kultur eigen, daß sie nicht mit sich selber identisch ist. Nicht, daß sie keine Identität haben kann, sondern daß sie sich nur insoweit identifizieren, 'ich', 'wir' oder 'uns' sagen [?] kann, als sie mit sich selber nicht identisch ist, als sie, wenn Sie so wollen, mit sich differiert. Es gibt keine Kultur und keine kulturelle Identität ohne diese Differenz mit sich selbst." Diesen Vorstellungen wollen wir in unserem Kurs, in dem Aspekte der "deutschen" Kultur des 20. Jahrhunderts im Vordergrund stehen sollen, gemeinsam nachdenken. Im Mittelpunkt unserer Diskussionen über diverse deutsche Fiktionen nationaler und kultureller Identität stehen dabei ausgewählte kulturelle Erzeugnisse aus Psychoanalyse, Literatur (Prosa und Lyrik), Philosophie und Film. Dabei verschaffen wir uns zunächst einen genauen Eindruck von der Form des kulturellen "Mit-sich-selber-Differieren", die Freud aus psychoanalytischer Sicht vorschlägt (Trauma, Trauer, Melancholie, Verdrängung usw.). Sodann überprüfen und entwickeln wir diese kulturellen Deutungswege angesichts einer Reihe von besonders provokanten und einflußreichen deutschsprachigen Texten. [NB. Erwartet wird von allen Teilnehmern Offenheit gegenüber relativ schwierigem Textmaterial, das viele unserer liebgewonnen Sicherheiten kühn in Frage stellt. Für diejenigen jedoch, die von einem Universitätskurs erwarten, daß er lediglich zur beruhigenden Bestätigung bereits bestehender Ansichten oder gar zur lobend-belohnenden Untermauerung der Ideologien des "common sense" beiträgt, ist dieser Kurs nicht die richtige Adresse. Da unser Kurs in deutscher Sprache abgehalten wird, sind solide Deutschkenntnisse ebenfalls Voraussetzung.]

Calomino, Lec 1, MWF 12:05 Call No. 85986
Prerequisites: Senior standing or consent of instructor.

This course deals with representative works of literature from the oldest records to the early eighteenth century. Emphasis will be placed on the Carolingian period and early Germanic literature; a courtly aesthetic as developed and reflected in literary genres from the 12th and 13th centuries; late medieval narrative, philosophical and dramatic texts; the Reformation and its implications for German literature and culture throughout the 16th and 17th centuries; preservation of inherited literary modes of expression and the development of new forms during the Baroque and early Enlightenment. Recommended for background reading: F.Heer, The Medieval World: Europe 1100-1350 (Mentor MW 1040) and/or Frenzel, Daten deutscher Dichtung, I (DTV 3003). The objective of the course is to familiarize students with early German literature in addition to its cultural, sociopolitical, and artistic background. The course will concentrate on the development of lyric, epic, and dramatic forms especially through interpretation of major works and writers of the different periods. Lectures based on reading and background materials are in German; classroom discussion and written examinations may be in either German or English. In addition to daily required participation, each student will give an oral presentation on a specific topic. Reading list will include selections from Old High German heroic and religious literature, Das Nibelungenlied, courtly -Minnesang-, Parzival, Der Ackermann aus Böhmen, and texts by Luther, Sachs, and Grimmelshausen.

Dazu gehören mehrere "klassische" Texte, die normalerweise nicht unbedingt unter dem Gesichtspunkt "Krimi" betrachtet werden, vor allem aber zeitgenössische Variationen des Genres. In der Textauswahl - überwiegend Kurzgeschichten und Romane - sind unter anderem folgende Varianten vertreten: "Literarischer" Krimi (Kleist, Hofmann, Fontane), intellektueller Krimi (Edgar A. Poes Dupin, Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes), sozialkritischer Krimi (Sjöwall/Wahlöö), Jugendkrimi (Erich Kästner), "Zen-Krimi" (van de Wetering), Parodien und "Antikrimis" (Manzoni, Serner, Schindler) feministischer und Regionalkrimi (Glauser, Berndorf), Multikultikrimi und "noir"-Variante (Arjouni).

In zwei Sitzungen werden wir uns außerdem mit Film- und Fernsehversionen des Genres befassen und einen kriminalistisch-philosophischen Katzen-Zeichentrickfilm-Thriller sowie eine Sendung aus der Serie "Tatort" sehen. Zusätzlich lesen wir ausgewählte Texte über die Gattung Kriminalroman (unter anderem von Chandler und Brecht) und befassen uns mit Tradition, Definitionen und Entwicklung des Kriminal-Genres.
Unterrichtssprache ist deutsch. Erwartet werden: aktive Mitarbeit, ein Referat und eine Abschlußarbeit von 10-12 Seiten (Thema nach persönlichem Interesse in Absprache mit mir). Gute Voraussetzungen für die Teilnahme sind: Spaß am Lesen (von Krimis und generell) und Diskutierfreude; Interesse am detektivisch-analytischen Lesen; und Bereitschaft, die Lust am Lesen mit dem literaturwissenschaftlichen Blick auf eines der populärsten Genres der "Trivialliteratur" zu verbinden.

Am 2. November 1970 wurde Goethes Sarkophag in Weimar geöffnet, um Goethes Knochen zu reinigen, zu konservieren, und den Sarg neu auszulegen, um so "die sterblichen Überreste von Deutschlands größtem Dichter für die Ewigkeit zu erhalten." Überträgt man diesen makabren Akt der Goethe-Restaurierung auf unser Fach, so lassen sich Ähnlichkeiten kaum übersehen. Auch wir konservieren, restaurieren und revidieren andauernd unsere Ansichten von Goethe, versuchen sozusagen, "ein Gespräch mit dem Toten" zu führen (Greenblatt). Goethe-Kult, Goethe-Monument, Goethe-Museum, Goethe-Gedächtnis, Goethe-Erbe und wie diese Traditionspflege sonst noch heißen mag, das ist - wie unterschiedlich auch definiert - immer noch unsere Aufgabe.
Die Vorlesung soll sich mit dieser Goethe-Verehrung kritisch auseinandersetzen, aber nicht nur nach Art der Rezeptionsgeschichte sondern auch als Kulturgeschichte/ Cultural Studies. Wir werde dabei versuchen, die beiden so unterschiedlichen Auffassungen von Kultur in dem Begriff einer kulturellen Erinnerung aufzuheben. Da Sprache in der Erinnerung ein wichtiger Faktor und die Literatur eine Schatzkammer der Errinnerung ist, werden wir bei all unseren Analysen von einem Werk Goethes ausgehen. Neben Goethe-Kennern sind auch Goethe-Interessierte ohne große Vorkenntnisse eingeladen, denn in diesem Kurs soll es bunter und munterer zugehen als in normalen literatur-geschichtlichen Lehrveranstaltungen: bunter, weil ich den Kurs durch Filme und Videos; munterer, weil ich die Studenten einlade, sich ihr Goethe-Bild neu zusammenzustellen. Ich kenne meinen Goethe, sie sollen ihn kennenlernen und sich so aneignen wie etwa Edgar Wibeau in Plenzdorfs "Neuen Leiden des jungen W." Jeder Student soll sich ein Werk Goethes aussuchen und es auf alle kulturgeschichtlichen Besonderheiten untersuchen. Doch wir fragen nicht nur kultur/ sozialgeschichtlich, sondern im Sinne der Cultural Studies auch nach nationaler, sozialer, sexueller und ethnischer Identität. Wie und zu welchen Zwecken die kulturelle Erinnerung in Monumenten, Museen, Festivals und Gedenkfeiern konstruiert wird, lautet die abschließende Frage.
Ich verspreche mir von diesem Experiment einiges: nicht nur Einsichten in das jeweilige Werk, sondern auch neue Ansichten von Goethe - und vor allem Lust am Entdecken und Lernen.

720: College Teaching of German, 1 cr.
Chavez, Lec 1, W 7:45 Call No. 80141
Prerequisites: Teaching Assistantship in German.
*early start* [Monday, August 26th]; during the semester: first few weeks on Wednesdays at 7:45 a.m.

German 720 and 722 need to be taken together, for a total of 3 credits. The Ger 720 component offers practical hands-on experience in teaching college German, and more specifically, first-semester German at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It begins the week (Monday) before classes start, to offer new teaching assistants some initial orientation before they officially begin their careers in the classroom. During the semester, Ger 720 will correspond with the early Wednesday hour but - to compensate for the head start - will only run for a few weeks. A syllabus for Ger 101, instructional materials, and a detailed schedule, providing an overview of departmental, college and foreign language departments (Van Hise) preparatory components will be distributed to all enrolled at the end of the spring (2003) semester.
Ger 722 constitutes the theoretical complement to Ger 720. We will explore different approaches to the study of second language acquisition/foreign language learning and investigate their respective theoretical underpinnings. We will also discuss the role/basics of empirical research and the importance of a scientific examination of practice over anecdotal evidence and perceptions based merely on personal experiences. Ger 722 in its second Monday hour meets with Ger 727.
Overall, we will review the teaching and acquisition of the "four skills" (reading, listening, speaking, writing") and cultural knowledge, most prominently from the perspective of communicative language teaching. We will also examine goal development, specifically assessment techniques, with some attention to ACTFL proficiency guidelines and the National Standards; the role of learner and teacher variables; how to analyze/evaluate classroom language/talk; and the basic principles of classroom management and lesson planning.
Assignments - besides readings and class discussions - will include very small in-class research/teaching projects (using your own students), the keeping of a teaching diary, exchanges with other teaching assistants in this and other departments, and the beginnings of a teaching portfolio. No research paper will be required.

Prerequisites: German 720 or consent of instructor.

Mondays 7:45 and Mondays 8:50 [meeting with Ger 727] - if we can work without a break in between the two classes, we can start at 8:00 am, for the following time: Mondays from 8:00 to 9:40

727:Topics in Applied Linquistics: Issues in Language Program Supervision, 3 cr.
Chavez, Lec 1, MWF 8:50 Call No. 86017
Prerequisites: Graduate Student.

This course is intended for graduate students with some teaching experience who have completed a basic teaching methods course, since it is open to students from other departments. A knowledge of German is not a pre-requisite The compilation of a teaching portfolio and the composition of a Teaching Philosophy require time, experience, and strategy. This course is designed to inform you as you devise your own personal approach to language teaching and language program coordination. You are encouraged to develop a professional identity, which reaches beyond being a teaching assistant.
For one hour each week (Mondays at 8:50) this course meets with German 722 (Theory of Teaching College German). During this hour we will explore the basics of second language acquisition/applied linguistics and how they inform teaching practice. The clientele of German 722 are beginning teaching assistants of German. We will take this opportunity to practice supervisory and guidance skills in the form of various assignments, such as class visits, interactive teaching diaries, and counseling. Please know that you will NOT be directly responsible for the professional development of your beginning colleagues. You will be asked to contribute, however, and at the same time, develop a profile as a potential language program coordinator.
This course focuses on beginning and intermediate language program courses but not exclusively so. One of our goals will be to gain an overview of foreign language departments as entire entities as well as foreign language departments as members of the campus/college community and the profession at large. As such, you will be asked to orient yourself within a network of potential contacts and colleagues and seek multiple perspectives and answers to various issues, such as course requirements, articulation, and the distinction between 'service' and 'major' courses as well as between an undergraduate and graduate program.
Assignments will include - besides readings and course discussions - interviews and email exchanges with colleagues on and off campus; a survey of various professional organizations; the design of two (basic) course syllabi; engagement with beginning teaching assistants (class visits, participation in an interactive teaching diary, etc.); a presentation on a peer department; a "goals/problems" statement; and a teaching philosophy. No research paper will be required, there will be no exams in the traditional sense.

758: Topics in Contemporary German: German Phonology: The Sounds of German, 3 cr.
Salmons, Lec 1, MWF 1:20 Call No. 78201
Prerequisites: Graduate Student.

This course offers a chance to look at the sounds of German, from their production and perception to how they work as a system. While the standard language will provide a number of topics (like what it tells us that some speakers say Adler and others Atler for 'eagle'), some fun data come from dialects and Umgangssprache (how and why we get Hamburch for Hamburg or isch for ich), sociolinguistic variation (how words like Hirni or Uni could be suggested to be "die besten Wörter des Deutschen"), and earlier stages of the language (how umlaut came to be associated with so many plurals). Along the way, we will look at how sounds connect to morphology and language change.
No previous background in phonetics or phonology is assumed.

804: Interdisciplinary Western European Area Studies Seminar: 'Europe': The Very Idea, 3 cr.
Richter/Lezra, Sem 1, M 4:00-6:00pm Call No. 80140
Prerequisites: Graduate Student or Consent of Instructor.

Of all the concepts circulating in current discussions about the possibilities of a new politics of ethnic, cultural, and national identity, perhaps none is more intensely contested than the concept of "Europe." For instance, the derogatory remarks, recently made by US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, concerning what he perceives as "the old Europe," have triggered a wide variety of European responses, from Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Chirac to Peter Sloterdijk, Friedrich Kittler, and Jacques Derrida.
Indeed, with the various political acts of European unification, the terms of what it might mean to think of a new Europe have moved to the forefront of debates surrounding the politics of postmodernism and the movements of late capitalism. This "new" Europe is less a radical transformation into something that never was than a strategic activation of an "old" Europe and the possibilities and promises that were always associated with it but never fully realized: the old Europe, it now appears, will only have become itself after the fact and as something else, as the Europe yet to come. What is at stake in considering such a "new" Europe touches upon many pressing cultural and political concerns: the status of the insider and the outsider; nationalisms and borders; the shifting contours of "community"; the ethical dilemma of having to invite or to reject the unknown guest; the effects of global cultural appropriation; the politics of language and representation; Europe and the questions of deconstruction and psychoanalysis; and issues of social justice as they pertain to the specters of Eurocentrism.Our research collaborative and graduate seminar will address these and related issues apropos of a broad constellation of writers, theorists, filmmakers, economists, and philosophers.

947: Seminar in German Literature: Realismen: Literatur und Realität, 3 cr.
Adler, Sem 1, F 2:30-4:20pm Call No. 78200
Prerequisites: Graduate Student (contains introductory components for incoming graduate students)

Die Begriffe "Realismus", "realistisch" sind weitgehend unklar und umstritten. Dieser Dissens ist ein altes Phänomen, das sich immer wieder insbesondere an Fragen von Kunst, Literatur und Erkenntnis zeigt, denn: "Realismus" ist ein ebenso historischer Begriff wie "Realität," das heißt, sie verändern sich permanent mit den Kontexten, in denen sie fungieren. Besonders problematisch war der "Realismus" schon immer in der Literatur und den Künsten. Gemeint ist in diesem Seminar nicht bloß die Epoche des "Realismus" im 19. Jahrhundert. Gemeint ist mit dem Plural "Realismen" das, was schon seit der Antike mit unterschiedlichsten Termini belegt wurde: Mimesis, Widerspiegelung, Darstellung, Repräsentation, Simulation, Aemulation, Imitation, Nachahmung, Wahrheit der Dichtung (Kunst), Wirklichkeit der Dichtung (Kunst), Referenz usw. Verweist Literatur auf eine Wirklichkeit? Schafft Literatur Wirklichkeit? Stellt Literatur die Wahrheit dessen dar, was in der Wirklichkeit nur 'verhüllt' da ist? Kann Fiktion realistisch sein? Ist "Realismus" eine Relation zwischen Text und Extratextuellem oder ist "Realismus" ein Effekt der Literatur? Wir werden in diesem Seminar theoretische und literarische Texte von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart lesen, um divergente Ansichten zum Problem des Realismus zu analysieren. Autoren, die wir lesen und diskutieren werden, sind Platon, Aristoteles, Goethe, Fontane, Keller, Storm, Raabe, Brecht, Lukács, R.D. Brinkmann und andere. Die Teilnehmer und Teilnehmerinnen werden kurze Textzusammenfassungen schreiben, ein mündliches Referat halten und eine längere Abschlußarbeit schreiben. Reader und Seminarplan für dieses Seminar werden bereits gegen Ende des Frühjahrssemesters erhältlich sein, damit die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer sich über den Sommer schon eingehend mit dem Themenkomplex vertraut machen können.
