In particular, we will consider the legacy of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, Eastern Germany), the ongoing efforts to represent a multicultural society, and the memory of World War\u00a0II. Our discussions will focus on the challenges of representing minorities, cultural difference, gender hierarchies and memory cultures. Your skills in film analysis and your ability to articulate critical responses will be challenged and trained throughout the semester. This course is taught in English, and there are no prerequisites.<\/p>\n<h2>Films<\/h2>\n<p><em>Barbara<\/em>. Dir. Christian Petzold (2012)<br \/>\n<em>Combat Girls<\/em>. Dir.
