Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Students can expect flights on a broom, diabolical music, revived canvas characters, encounters with magicians, wizards, werewolves, vampires, witches, warlocks, and other human and non-human originated beings. Dr. Faustus, Mephistopheles (aka Woland), the occultist Agrippa von Nettesheim, the alchemist and magician Bruce, and many other well-known personalities will inform students about such commonplace matters as, for example, summoning of the devil to your home, rules for travelling to a Witches’ Sabbath, and the possible and impossible outcomes of conversations with strangers. By the end of the course, students will not only have a basic knowledge of the difference between magic and mysticism, magic potions and witchcraft creams, and the consequences of using those, but also will be cognizant of how one should or should not play cards or buy works of art, treat sunflower oil and other every-day essentials. They will also be aware that a neighbour who looks quite human may turn out to be none other than Satan in the flesh or simply the Other (of course, they will be able to tell immediately whether he is the Light or the Dark one).

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The final grade for this course consists of the following parts:
40% (!!) Participation in discussions
20% Class Presentation
40% Final essay (5,000 words)

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

This course is a fascinating survey but requires you to read steadily and continuously throughout the semester. Close reading is extremely important, as each meeting you will be engaged in a detailed discussion. The individual or group presentations will be limited to leave space for conversations.
