Centred on the key concept of Heimat (homeland), it examines German identities from the turn of the century to the 1980s in East and West Germany. It investigates a variety of different places and spaces in both their material and symbolic dimension. The module allows students to engage with a range of different primary sources, including films, maps, travel guidebooks and the built environment.
