GERM 225 The Alps: Heights (and Depths) of Modernity 6 credits
The Alps have been a focal point for developments of modernity: modern infrastructures supported the growth of tourism already in the 1800s. With the rise of nationalism, idealized notions of traditional alpine cultures were used as propaganda. Today, tensions have emerged between small alpine farms and “rewilding” efforts, and political discourses around these environmental tensions have intensified a perceived rural/urban divide. Throughout, the alpine environment, culture, and politics are deeply entangled. Students will analyze creative and nonfiction texts as well as numerical data that depict these developments, and then choose a course topic to pursue through independent research. Offered at both the 200 and 300 levels; coursework will be adjusted accordingly.
Recommended Preparation: Student has completed at least one German course at the 210-219 level.
Taught in German.
