Academic Program - Summer Semester

Courses are offered based on students' interest. German Literature in Theater and Film is required for German majors.

Note: Summer courses at Lewis & Clark are limited in order to encourage students to take advantage of the vast course offerings at the University of Munich. See the university's Vorlesungsverzeichnis.

Art through the Ages II
This course is a continuation of Art through the Ages I (Wintersemester), but can be taken separately. The course concentrates on art movements and important artists in Germany from the end of WWI to the present. Developments in German art cannot be understood separately from the international art scene. Therefore this course also explores much non-German art. The course grade is based on an oral report on a chosen topic, a midterm and final exam, and active participation in class discussions.

Major Periods of German Literature from the Enlightenment to the Present
This course focuses on plays currently being performed in Munich theaters. After thorough preparation (reading and discussion of the works), students see the plays on stage. Post-performance discussions, oral reports, and papers deepen students' understanding of the pieces and help them understand the socio-historical contexts of the works. Approximately ten works are studied, each one representative of an important literary period from the Enlightenment to the present. This course is both a literary survey as well as a course on German theater.
