While some scientits dug up prehistoric fossils and bones in European soil, others looked for 'savage tribes' in the colonies of the Asian-Pacific world. How did 'the hunt for the missing link' affect and connect people in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific?
The aim of the seminar is a to introduce students to new approaches in the global history of science b to familiarize students with the history of Darwinian biology, geology, and anthropology c to enable students to examine and interpret historical source material from 'missing link expeditions' between and A particular focus will be placed on Swiss and German research expeditions in the Asian-Pacific world.
Students should therefore be able to read German and French sources. History of Art and Architecture II.

In the Spring Semester the emphasis is on the main tendencies of Western architecture since the Age of Enlightenment: Special attention will be given to the impact of the era's socio-political developments - Industrial Revolution and Colonialism - on architecture. By studying exemplary architecture, significant positions and relevant building types of that period a basic knowledge of architectural history will be imparted. The history of architecture is regarded as a part of a comprehensive history, in which the architectural concepts will be discussed within their cultural, political and social correlations.
Ita Heinze-Greenberg The second section of the lecture provides a historical outline of medieval architecture in France. History of Art and Architecture IV. The two-semester course offers an introduction to the history and theory of architecture from the industrial revolution up to now. Based on current questions a variety of case studies will be discussed. The aim is to give an overview on crucial events, works of art, buildings and theories since the beginning of the 19th century up to now.
The course should enhance the comprehension of historical and theoretical issues, and allow the students to localize their own practice within a broader historical context. The subject of this lecture course is the history and theory of architecture since the beginning of the 19th century up to now. It examines the architectural answers to the changing technical inventions and social practices. Consequently, the focus will be less on individual architects or buildings than on various themes that determined the architecture of the period.
History of Urban Design II. The lecture covers the time from the beginning of urban culture until the mid 19th century. With selected examples it emphasizes on the historical plannings and methods of European cities. Each specific urban development will be presented within a broader context. This course analyzes the history of urban architecture primarily in its existing three dimensional form as a complex human artefact.
It also explores the inspirations that prompted the creation of this artefact: Intellectual, literary or artistic modes of thought will also be assessed with regard to their impact on urban development. Urbanism has its own distinctive approach as a discipline, but it is also clearly responsive to the influence of related disciplines.
This is a class for all those who want to improve their German in a playful way. Rather than following a textbook, we will explore paintings and photographs, movies and music, plays and poems, as well as some sculptures and buildings in New York. Out of the ashes of UFA, Europe's largest film studios at that time, the Soviet military administration in Germany gave permission for the shootings of Germany's first post-war movies.
In the course, we will illuminate important milestones in German film history and trace back the effects international politics had on the creation of film over the last six decades. No course materials needed. The Federal Republic of Germany — seen today as a staunch defender of liberal democracy - emerged as a beacon of stability only a few years after the horrors of dictatorship, the holocaust and war devastation.

What were the factors that reshaped German politics, society and culture that help to explain the transformation from the political strife characteristic of the Weimar Republic and its conflict ridden society to one in which conciliatory politics and social partnership held center stage? We will trace these by looking at biographies of some prominent Weimar figures, who not only witnessed the breakdown of democracy, but were able to rebuild it after the traumatic years of dictatorship and could draw on numerous aspects of Weimar political and cultural life.
The topics discussed might also help to reflect on critical issues of our time. The focus will be on reading skills as well as speaking, with a concentration on presentation and discussion.
