Introduction To German Studies: The Romantics Then And Now (Gmst 20) Syllabus, Madalina Meirosu Oct 2018

Introduction To German Studies: The Romantics Then And Now (Gmst 20) Syllabus, Madalina Meirosu

Digital Humanities Curricular Development

This course serves as an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of German Studies. German culture has played a seminal role in the history and culture of modern Europe, influencing and shaping the European spirit in all manner of ways. However, rather than survey the rich history of contributions of German-speaking people to European and world culture, this course will focus on the relatively small period of German Romanticism (during the late 18th and early 19th century). As we proceed we will ask the following questions: what is German culture? How has it been defined? What is German Romanticism? What themes …

Gif-Based Shot By Shot Analysis, Sunka Simon Oct 2016

Gif-Based Shot By Shot Analysis, Sunka Simon

German Studies Faculty Works

In this assignment, students in Introduction to Film and Media Studies performed shot-by-shot analysis of a film scene using GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) images in place of traditional short-by- shot analysis formats. Why use GIFS? Because they not only force students to deconstruct a film scene into its segmented layers of time and place, into individual shots and even frames (using Photoshop software, in this case), but also make the semiotic codes (e.g. use of lighting, camera distance) apparent through the repetition of movement in the completed GIF. The complete GIF can be embedded in an essay on a course …

Globally Networked Teaching In The Humanities: Theories And Practices, A. S. Moore, Sunka Simon

German Studies Faculty Works

As colleges and universities in North America increasingly identify "internationalization" as a key component of the institution’s mission and strategic plans, faculty and administrators are charged with finding innovative and cost-effective approaches to meet those goals.

By addressing logistical, technical, pedagogical and intercultural aspects of globally-networked teaching, this volume offers a unique perspective on this form of curricular innovation through internationalization. It speaks directly to the ways in which new technologies …
