Course Content (Syllabus)
Since Europe can be all sorts of things — a fortress and a currency zone, a Phoenician princess, an "idea," an economic power, a geopolitical entity, and a network of dark and disturbing stories — its meanings and boundaries must be renegotiated time and again. Literature and art have a central role in this process, whether "European" or "non-European," constantly discussing the oldest myths and the most current collective symbols. This is illustrated in the seminar through novels, essays, films, and installations, all of which take (and inevitably) marginalized and shifted positions towards Europe - from "Dead Europe" by Christos Tsiolkas and "The Emigrants" by Peter Waterhouse to Habermas or Derrida's Europe. In the end, one cannot help but ask the question (as George Steiner also did): Is Europe destined to inhabit the great museum we call history? Or are there still glimmers of hope worth exploring?
