GERM 65.08 The Case Study: From Detective Fiction to Medical Narratives

This course surveys some of the most famous case studies in German cultural history. We will read a range of cases, from psychological case studies to detective fiction, with an eye to specifying the literary and scientific qualities of the genre. What kind of knowledge do case studies transmit and how do they transmit it? What stylistic and generic conventions do authors of case studies draw upon? Conducted in German. German majors may take this course as their Culminating Experience by doing additional work.
