Kommentar/Beschreibung

War and trauma have profoundly shaped – and continue to shape – human history and experience. From early conflicts and the world wars of the twentieth century to contemporary and even imagined future conflicts, literature repeatedly returns to questions of violence, injustice, and displacement. This seminar explores how such narratives can be used as valuable resources in peace education, human rights education, and global citizenship education within the EFLC.
Drawing upon a diverse range of texts and visual media – from personal memoirs to novels, poetry, and film – students will critically examine representations of war and its aftermath across different historical and cultural contexts. Particular attention will be paid to how these narratives articulate the lived experiences of trauma, loss, resilience, and resistance. By connecting literary and media analysis with classroom practice, students will develop strategies for using such texts to foster empathy and support peacebuilding, ultimately contributing to the education of globally conscious, critically minded, and socially responsible language learners.
This seminar requires a high level of commitment to extensive and close reading.
