Identity and Self in Contemporary German Literature

This option introduces students to literary renegotiations of questions of identity and self in contemporary German-language novels. Students will closely study two selected novels over four weeks respectively. Each novel will be accompanied by critical reading which will help students engage with and also reflect more widely on notions of gender, sexuality, race, class, the body, belonging, and postmigration that are at the core of the selected novels in an informed and critical way.   Credit level: 10 Year taken: Year 4 Undergraduate  SCQF credits: 20
