Teaching – spring semester of 2020
The Dean decides
- The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology will temporarily transfer to distance teaching and examination by using the online platform Canvas or the tool Zoom. Exceptions are possible with consideration to e.g. group sizes. The change will occur starting March 18 2020 and will persist until the recommendations relating to the corona epidemic change.
Nine Yiddish films are screened during the course. The films selected are from the golden age of Yiddish film which took place in the first half of the 20th century and are used as a starting point for an introductory discussion of some important currents of modern Yiddish culture in Central and Eastern Europe, the USA and the Soviet Union.
The main aim of the course is to demonstrate how the films shape important themes within modern Jewish culture: homelessness, emigration, dissolution of family traditions and secularisation. All the films screened have subtitles in English.
