Prereq: 210.362 The legendary figure of Faust, a man who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge, self-fulfillment and power, has attracted continuous interest from writers, artists, composers and thinkers over the last 400 years. This course will analyze the various transformations of the Faust legend as they emerged in German literature since the 18th century. It will focus especially on how the different treatments of the legend adapt the motif to its particular historical situation, and where exactly the elements of (dis)continuity lie. By means of close readings, the seminar will also investigate the multiple forms and genres by which the legends have been represented, as narrative texts, dramas, poems or films. Authors include: Lessing, Klinger, Goethe, Grabbe, Heine, Hesse, Lasker-Schüler, Klaus Mann, Brecht. We will also consider F.W. Murnau's and P. Gorskiâs film versions of Faust, as well as I. Szabóâs movie Mephisto based on Klaus Mannâs novel of the same title. Readings and discussions in German.

This course will examine how literature reflects on the source of its own images and personae through the motif of orphans. In our readings, we will see that orphans do not merely constitute a figure among many others in literary works. Instead they have special significance as an allegory of literature itself, which searches for but cannot locate its origin. Authors to include Lessing, Schiller, Goethe, Tieck, Kleist, Stifter, Hofmannsthal, and Walser. Reading and discussion in German.

European languages document the evolution of the concept of literature from a generic term indicating the body of writings produced in a particular country or period to one that more particularly signifies works endowed with an aesthetic quality. The concept of literature thus seems to take form in connection with the emergence of a critical discourse, the search for a standard of taste. The dream of founding a âscience littéraireâ modeled on the principles of structural semiotics searching for an elusive âliterarinessâ, literature as a system, a set of formal features, not a collection of discrete, ineffable individuals; it thus involved a rejection of the aesthetic, or at least a reconsideration of its assumptions. This course will pursue the question of "The Idea of Literature" simultaneously from a philosophical and a historical perspective; in moving from formalist literariness to the rediscovery of categories like the ethical, the subject, the reader, the author, and the aesthetic, we will ask such questions as: Can there be a return to an aesthetic education, as some wish, and what would that be? Would such a move resuscitate the ghost of Humeâs gentleman scholar, which the New Critics tried to do away with? Is there a way of formally distinguishing between literature and its various contexts? Authors will include Hume, Kant, Taine, Lanson, Sainte-Beuve, Brunetière, Arnold, Proust, Benjamin, Bréton, Sartre, Bourdieu, De Man, and Eco.

An introduction to modern German poetry with emphasis on the fate of the lyric subject in twentieth-century verse. Of particular interest to the course will be the tension between lyric freedom on the one hand and poetic constraint on the other. How does modern poetry come to resist the traditional definition of the lyric as an expression of subjectivity and replace it with a concept of the poem as a vehicle for the dissolution of the self or the dispossession of the speaker? Authors to include Rilke, Trakl, George, Benn, and Celan.
