GRADUATE SEMINAR: READING IN GERMAN (4 UNITS)

Open reading group for all levels. Each participant may suggest German texts, which she or he have to deal with for their papers, exams, or research. We will learn and practice how to obtain the necessary information from German texts, how to find German secondary literature, and other tricks to deal with information written in an obscure language. The reading-group offers practice of "reading-knowledge" of German, gives some training in helpful German databases for secondary literature and digital images, and introduces ideas and developments of recent important German scholars from the crossroads of art history, "Kulturwissenschaften," political theory, and history of science. (Reading knowledge of German is not required but welcome).
