GERMAN 270: From The Grimms To Disney (Summer 2022 | Online Asynchronous)

In this 4-credit course, taught in English, students will engage with selected folk and fairy tales primarily focusing on collections by the Brothers Grimm and tales written by Hans Christian Andersen, locating them in the 19th-century German or Danish culture of their origins and then examining how they became transformed into perennial favorites of U.S. popular culture through their adaptations by Disney (feature animation films). Importantly, in doing so we will explore and discuss how folk and fairy tales have shaped and continue to impact ideologies of identity and belonging, particularly in constructed categories such as gender, race, sexuality, and ability. This is an introductory course; there are no prerequisites, and no prior knowledge is required. (GenEd AL+DG)
