Course Description
With the divide between mass culture and high art disappearing, popular culture has become a prolific field of study. This seminar considers the many facets and dimensions of pop culture, including its cultural history and the possibilities hidden within what is often assumed to be nothing more than entertainment. Some of the topics addressed are popular culture’s reflection of discourse, its capability of criticizing or affirming the status quo, and the various modes of ideology within. The course covers all relevant pop culture representations: film, television, comic books, fiction, music, paintings etc. and discusses their significance within the historical frame of reference as well as their international social impact. Secondary texts introduce a range of theoretical perspectives through which pop culture may be explored, analyzed, questioned, and understood. The course also discusses the function of pop culture in the public sphere, its representations in texts, images, and music.

Course Description
This multidisciplinary course is an introduction to the key questions and methodologies of cultural memory studies. This course explores topics including: the material culture and civic performance of public memory, the role of remembrance and forgetting in the construction of collective identities, the shifting of (trans) national frameworks of memory, and the role of literature, film, and other media of memory in constructing narratives about the past that either support or challenge the “official” memory of a country or region. The course discusses recent theoretical reflections on collective memory and on the development of memorial cultures in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries against the background of wars, and social and technological change. Students review literary texts alongside a variety of theoretical approaches by historians, literary scholars, philosophers, and psychoanalysts. Students analyze these works and examine the connections between literary analysis and memory and trauma studies. The course consists of discussions, written responses to readings, and student presentations. This course requires that students complete the equivalent of an Introduction to Literature course as a prerequisite.

UCEAP Quarter Units

Course Description
This interdisciplinary course crosses and connects the academic fields of migration studies, film studies, and cultural studies. The first part of the course explores how the socio-political and socio-cultural phenomenon of Turkish immigration into Germany, immigrants, and diasporas are represented in German and Turkish cinema from the 1960s until the present. The second part of the course then gets more specific and approaches the representation of Berlin in these migration movies. In this course, students gain knowledge about film analysis, German immigration history, and theoretical concepts dealing with migration, diaspora, stereotype, culture, and identity. The labor migration from Turkey to Germany, which started in the mid-1960s, had an important socio-economic and socio-cultural impact on both countries' societies and influenced their film culture. German filmmakers began to feature the first guest workers' difficult lives in films such as Rainer Werner Fassbinder's KATZELMACHER (1969) and ANGST ESSEN SEELE AUF/FEAR EATS SOUL (1974). Later, German cinema began to cinematically capture the entire migrant family like in SHIRINS HOCHZEIT/SHIRIN'S WEDDING (1975, Helma Sanders-Brahms) and YASEMIN (1988, Hark Bohm). In the 1990s, second- and third-generation Turkish German directors such as Fatih Akin, Thomas Arslan, Ayse Polat, Yüksel Yavuz, and Aysun Bademsoy marked the end of the so-called guest worker cinema (Gastarbeiterkino) of the 1970s and 1980s and started to create a transnational and diasporic cinema featuring a culturally hybrid Germany. Turkish cinema dealt with this migration phenomenon even in more than 60 films alone between 1960s and 1990s. Berlin (especially Kreuzberg) has always been one of the favorite settings in all of these migration movies. The transformation of Berlin's first guest worker ghettos to culturally hybrid urban districts over the course of 60 years is very well reflected in all of these cinema cultures.
