This course brings together perspectives on health and well-being from the humanities, medicine, social sciences, and education to investigate representations of pain and healing in German-speaking texts (e.g., literature, film, art, other media). Throughout the course, students will reflect on systemic questions of power, identity, and language/talk, and how these have influenced values and practices around health and well-being in German-speaking texts and US-American cultural contexts. Taught in English.
