Meets with CAS 587, GER 576, and MUS 523. Description: The art and thought of the Weimar Republic is as exciting today as it was in the days of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Thomas Mann, Alban Berg, and its galaxy of other creative masters. In this course we will begin by studying the turbulent politics of the period and then turn to the era's music, literature and social thought. Thomas Mann's novel The Magic Mountain and Alban Berg's opera Wozzeck will be two of the centerpieces of the course, but we will also be examining developments as diverse as the growth of the phonograph industry and the profusion of extra-European influences on Weimar culture. The concept of dissonance pervades the period and unites these different topics. A series of invited guests from other universities in the United States and Germany will make presentations to the seminar. The class will also make an excursion to a performance of Wozzeck at the Chicago Lyric Opera. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
