Perceptions of Belonging in the Baltics ponsored by the mbassadors Fri 8: Merchants of the Hanseatic League as well as crusading knights of the Teutonic Order shaped the history of the region from the medieval to the modern period. While there was clearly no conception of a German nation at this point, the merchants in Baltic cities such as Reval or Riga, and the land-owing nobility, descendants of the Teutonic Knights, had a distinct perception of their German-ness as opposed to the Non-German Undeutsch peasants or craftsmen in the region. The German-speaking elites in the Baltics were the first ones calling themselves Balts, only later adopting the term German Balts eutschbalten.

The English term Baltic Germans is, therefore, a misleading translation; in their own perception eutschbalten felt Baltic first and German only second. In fact, the question needs to be posed whether Baltic Germans actually felt as German nationals, in particular in the 19th-century era of nationalism. Baltic Germans were loyal citizens of the Russian Empire, they contributed at large to the Russian industrialization of the late 19th century and fought in the Imperial Russian rmy, even as late as World War I, thereby opposing their fellow Germans.

The German language and German cultural traditions were absolutely central for the Baltic German communities in the region, distinguishing them from the other, the non-germans. However, there seems to be a clear distinction between the feeling of belonging to the Baltic German community and the attachment to the German nation.

National Indifference as a Category, the notion of being indifferent to one s nationality was common in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century East Central Europe. Examining the religious, ethnic, national, and social interaction of German-speaking and other groups in the Baltic ea Region, this seminar seeks to explore the different perceptions of belonging during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with retrospective considerations of earlier patterns of identity during the Middle ges and the Early.

With the arrival of Estonian and Latvian nationalism in the late nineteenth century, the question of self-perception and otherness gained additional importance since the Estonian and Latvian nations were shaped at large by distinguishing and defining themselves as opposed to the Germans. While the perspectives on Germanness in the region starting with the late medieval period are crucial to understand the notions of belonging, the focus of the seminar will be on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. One of the key aims of this seminar is to analyze how the German-speaking community in the region was influenced by the rise German nationalism, following the Napoleonic wars as well as the emerging Latvian and Estonian nationalisms in the mid-nineteenth century, which led to the establishment of Estonia and Latvia as independent states in In the light of this new research on national indifference, the questions will be posed to what extent Baltic Germans felt German.

He had in mind the habits of thought and institutions of critique that are heir to the modern Titans of uspicion, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud. Our own field traces its genealogy through the Frankfurt chool to all three, and thus the stance of suspicion has been part of our habitus for quite some time. We tend to ennoble it by calling it critique often understood as shorthand for critique of ideology , and as critique it suffuses much of what we do in the classroom and on the page.

It stands to reason that one would wish to call into question this invisible force, to expose it. Its main achievement lies in provoking more and more uncompromising critique, and once it gets going, the game of trumping critique with critique can be played without end, thus opening new domains for suspicion. We would like to take a different tack. We propose a series of panels in which scholars develop alternative models of thinking with and through cultural formations literature, film, visual arts, popular culture, intellectual history, and the rest , models that start from a position other than the critical crouch.

This rather narrow reign of critique has been fatiguing for many of us, not merely for the predictability of its outcomes that everyone laments, but because of the effects it leaves on its practitioners. The posture itself waiting to pounce depletes one s energies and, worse, limits the range of what one can see and say.

We would like to expand the range of things that can be seen and said. We think that our much-vaunted methodological pluralism is not pluralistic enough. The panels we propose are thus meant to serve as an occasion for presenting and reflecting upon multiple ways of teaching and writing that attempt to develop alternate attitudes and techniques. The aim is to learn how we can articulate interpretive, historical, philological, and philosophical understanding that is not fueled by suspicion, but that nonetheless furthers the cause of insight and truth. These attitudes and techniques we seek need not be new.

They may, and likely will, have pedigrees reaching back to a variety of thinkers and traditions. But we would hope that they are neither merely antiquarian nor quixotic, but rather speak to our current moment, the more urgently so, the better. We stand in need of ways of grappling with the past and the present that do not exhaust themselves in gestures of unmasking falsehoods. Others reach back to the origins of the discipline in philology. Others seek inspiration in phenomenology, philosophy of language, linguistics, or hermeneutics.

There are no doubt many others of which we remain unaware. It is not clear which of these efforts, if any, will bear fruit. What is clear is that they all attempt to develop a language of analysis and criticism not indebted to critique. We would ask presenters to lay out a argument for a theoretical model. They may also wish to exemplify the theory through a case study an interpretation, for example. Ideally, they would do both. Highlighting these models at the conference will be helpful to individual scholars as well as to the discipline as a whole.

It will enlarge our collective theoretical and methodological toolbox. It will sharpen our sense of our own stance, even if we decide to stick with it. The very meaning of the word itself is eigensinnig. Is it best rendered in English as obstinacy? What of other possibilities like stubbornness, autonomy, willful meaning, or self-will? On the occasion of Zone Book s forthcoming English-language translation of Oskar Negt and lexander Kluge s magnum opus, Geschichte und Eigensinn , this seminar seeks to mine the meaning and manifestation as well as the utility and breadth of the concept of Eigensinn as it applies not to material human bodies as is the case with Negt and Kluge but rather to contemporary literary texts.

Transplanting Eigensinn from the realm of embodiment brings with it a bevy of pressing questions: What does it mean for a text in terms of its literariness or poeticity to be eigensinnig? Whereas Eigensinn shall operate as the seminar s lodestar, participants will focus their attention concretely on a second related concept, namely obstinate literariness or poeticity. To this end, we shall consider how Russian formalists, who once sought to distinguish literary from non-literary texts through forms of language that create an aesthetic surplus of meaning, can influence a contemporary theory of Eigensinn.

One formalist concept that may operate as corollary to Eigensinn is that of deviation. Linguistic deviations in literature are often accompanied by an increased selfreferentiality an attention to the act of uttering as well as to the material substance of the representation. The historical frame for the discussions slated for this seminar will focus on literature as well as the written word in the media arts since The rationale for this focus is threefold.

Firstly, the seminar will focus. How, in other words, is Eigensinn a form of textual politics? Thirdly, we wish to establish the concept of Eigensinn apart from other homologous concepts like the punctum Roland Barthes , the traumatic gap Cathy Caruth , affective intensities Brian Massumi , or the parallax lavoj Zizek. How does Eigensinn address what these concepts have overlooked, misconstrued, or maligned? This seminar shall be an open-ended reading group framed by the topic of aesthetic obstinacy and its literariness, but designed such that contributors can bring to the table their own illustrations and inflections of the concept.

Like his earlier collection ie tintenblauen Eidgenossen, as Kalb vor der Gotthardpost strikingly displays the most noteworthy element of von Matt s criticism: Invariably, however, the reader of von Matt s essays walks away with a richer understanding of wiss identity and its broader place within European and Western culture. The purpose of this seminar is to use these two volumes of Peter von Matt s essays especially the more recent, prize-winning as Kalb vor der Gotthardpost, but also ie tintenblauen Eidgenossen as an interdisciplinary window onto the intersections between wiss history, politics, and literature.

We are interested both in exploring his own thought and in using his work as a jumping-off point for considering the issues with which he deals. The seminar thus presents an opportunity both to assess the work of Peter von Matt and also to honor his example through an examination in the interdisciplinary spirit of his own work of the themes he has discussed so insightfully.

Professor von Matt will be participating in the seminar. Past, Present, and Future Crossroads Fri 8: Central to Turkish-German tudies have been questions regarding intersections of nation, citizenship, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and religion. This field has been influenced and invigorated by scholars from a variety of disciplines whose work examines these complex relationships in the post-war period: While much important work has been done in investigating the cultural effects of migration and examining reconfigurations of the German national archive the seminar.

In the past two decades critics have productively explored the significance of the Turkish-German subject within German public-political and memory discourse, specifically focusing on representations of the Holocaust, , the Cold War, and reunification. However recent publications indicate new directions by expanding our geographical Turkey, Europe focus and temporal pre scope: In line with this recent scholarship, we invite contributions that offer new insights into areas of Turkish German entanglements, encounters, and exchanges by expanding geographical, methodological, and temporal frameworks.

Particularly, we hope to encourage inquiry into areas historical, aesthetic, social and medial that may have eluded German tudies thus far. The past decade saw an increase in the volume and visibility of Black German cultural productions. These works along with those of Leslie delson, Rita Chin, and ndreas Huyssen have interrogated the categories of race, gender, diaspora, and nation within the German multicultural context.

This seminar explores the nuances of how the colonial, Weimar, National ocialist, post, and post-wende pasts inform the present and the future of BG; how present generations of Black Germans look to those of the past for direction; how discourses shift due to diverse power structures; and how Black Germans affirm their agency and cultural identity through cultural productions, engendering counter-discourses and counter-narratives. In appraising BG as a critical, hermeneutic field of inquiry, participants will complicate narratives, interrogate interdisciplinary methods, and introduce theoretical approaches to advance the field.

The seminar is organized around three themes: Practices, Productions, and Progressions. Exploring Black German intellectual, cultural, and artistic practices this session questions: What other frican diasporic practices have been and are being utilized and transformed by current generations of Black Germans? What German cultural elements have Black Germans re-imagined or repurposed through their works? What transnational trends and technologies have been employed? This final session explores how Black German identity, activism, and politics coincide with current developments in the socio-political landscape of contemporary Germany.

One of these disorders was called railway spine, a name that was soon replaced by the more general trauma, which included all kinds of insurable damages to the psyche caused by accidents in the workplace and on the rails. This disease interested not only military psychologists but also legal, medical and insurance experts on the home front.

Directory Listing

In our seminar we propose to study the term trauma, as it was newly conceived and re-defined during World War I, under the following aspects: The role of shell-shock for Freud s revision of his system in the nineteen twenties which is most famously documented in his essay Beyond the Pleasure Principle, but can also be traced as a less obvious, but nonetheless effective subtext in his work on The Uncanny.

The institutional shift in the field of psychology and psychiatry that occurred when Freud received promises from the Central Powers in that, should the war continue, psychoanalytic centers would be created at the front, and which was confirmed when, in the early nineteen twenties, he was called as an expert witness in the trial of a prominent psychiatrist accused of maltreating traumatized soldiers with electroshock. The transformation of the concept of trauma during and after World War II which includes not only the notion of post-traumatic stress disorder as it was defined by medical specialists in the time of the Vietnam War, but also the discussions about the compensation of Holocaust victims and survivors, in the nineteen nineties.

The goal of the seminar is to trace the medical, legal, and cultural history of the term trauma which, since the nineteen nineties, has played such a crucial role not only in the discourses of deconstruction and postmodernity, but also in international relations and politics. Older models of church history and secularization paradigms have largely been displaced. They sought to broaden the canvas to include social forms, political networks, societal relationships, gender, religious vocabularies and alternatives to Christianity that range from Islam to political religions, cults and new forms of religious spirituality.

These younger scholars critical of old orthodoxies, however, have been unable to achieve any sort of consensus in their picture of the German religious landscape not just for the postwar era but also for the first half of the 20th century. This lack of consensus stems, at least in part, from the fact that they share few methodological assumptions. The spectrum of definitions includes those of traditional church historians and postmodern scholars who search for the emergence of spirituality outside church walls.

This seminar is intended to take stock of these fundamental transformations in the historiography of German religion from the s to the present. Its focus is on methodological shifts that have shaped the rapidly changing historiography. This seminar will specifically examine changes in concepts of religion, spirituality and transcendence and their impact on historical research.

It will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of an ongoing series of models of religious, old and new, that have been offered to describe the religious history of Germany in the 20th century. It will provide the opportunity for the participants to venture hypotheses and consider new models of religious transformation to account for key religious changes. Most significantly, it will not focus on any particular confession, historical era or German state.

The first day of the seminar will explore traditional models of church history and the changes wrought by models derived from social history, including models of so-called religious milieux pioneered from the s through the s. The second day will examine recent challenges to both models as well as models of secularization that center on religious transformation and are rooted in the analysis of spiritual movements and everyday spirituality outside of the two major confessions. Conversion in the Eighteenth Century: Narrative, pirituality, esthetics Pershing Place North Fri 8: On the one hand, the emergence of evangelical Christianity seemed incompatible with the goals of the late German Enlightenment.

Pietist conversion was frequently condemned as chwaermerei, as irrational, and as affect-driven. On the other hand, however, narratives of religious conversion were profoundly influential for secular discourses concerned with self-formation Bildung. Not only literary autobiography but the Bildungsroman were clearly marked by the influence of conversion narrative in a way that complicates traditional narratives of secularization.

In this seminar, we will examine some of the contradictions, paradoxes, and controversies that have surrounded conversion s persistent presence in an increasingly secular society, and we will investigate efforts in philosophy and aesthetics to develop transform it or to develop alternatives. We foresee dividing up the papers into three sections: In this way, we hope to bring together contributions from scholars representing a range of disciplines and theoretical approaches. How were the processes and various modes of conversion within and between traditions understood?

How were these narratives circulated and intended to be read? Finally, how did conversion come under pressure from the Enlightenment, and were there practices of conversion that were adapted and transformed by the Enlightenment? Contributions are also welcome that place conversion in the eighteenth century within the context of canonical examples from early Christianity Paul, ugustine or within the context of recent theoretical contributions on the topic.

In this session, we would especially like to consider the influence of models of conversion on other genres of literature, such as theater, poetry, and the novel.

Reward Yourself

Were there models of conversion besides Pietism e. How are we to understand the relationship between religious concepts of conversion and rebirth and the emerging secular discourse surrounding Bildung? Contributions are welcome that engage with literature of the long eighteenth century, up to and including the Romantics. Can one speak of practices of aesthetic conversion or of conversion as a model for aesthetic experience? On the other hand, one might also reflect on the influence of conversion on the development of the field of psychology and, in particular, of the psychological case study Fallgeschichte.

The University of the outh essions Number: War and trauma cause extreme conditions that can be negative and destructive like deprivation or dislocation, as well as emotional and psychological stress, but war and trauma can also lead to positive outcomes like deepening interpersonal relationships, intellectual insights, and new, unforeseen opportunities.

This seminar anticipates the imminent anniversary of the outbreak of World War One but seminar conveners encourage submissions related to other conflicts and other historic periods.

In addition to a focus on World War One, participants could examine the Thirty ears War, the Napoleonic Wars, World War Two, contemporary conflicts, or others historically significant or lesser-known conflicts. Papers could address the psychological effects of war and trauma on designers or artists, ways in which war and trauma have been treated in visual media, art theoretical responses to war and trauma, and more. This problem is appropriate for an interdisciplinary seminar in German tudies as it lends itself to integrative approaches in terms of interpretation and approach.

This seminar topic is particularly appropriate for the G in Kansas City, marking the th anniversary of the start of the Great War. They could include not only total wars but also civil wars, minor wars, genocides, terrorism, state surveillance, rape, prostitution, and so on. The seminar seeks to foster an integrative and collaborative dialogue among an interdisciplinary group of scholars on the topic of Liebe-ex-Krieg using primary sources taken from a wide range of German contexts.

It will focus on those two issues. The first concerns phenomenology. The problem of apprehending the other past or present is itself a problem of intimacy, with violence looming in the background and vice versa. Insight into the nexus of lovesex-war is made more difficult by the fact that these phenomena are at once so personal and so collective. Recent scholarship has drawn particular attention to the kinds of sources available to study these issues.

We are interested in exploring the range and interpretive possibilities of our sources. What can we know and say about Liebe-ex-Krieg through what kinds of sources? What are our limits? The second concerns experience. We are interested in exploring the many relationships between individual intimacy and collective violence as well as between individual acts of violence and collective forms of intimacy and belonging.

Love and sex are often tied to domination and power through categories of race, class, gender, and so on; but it can also provide authentic experiences of lust and arousal, affirmation of the self, and connections that transcends the social boundaries and tragic circumstances of the human condition. How do intimacy and arousal play out in the context of war, civil war, terrorism, surveillance, or genocide?

How do violence and arousal play out in the context of love and sex? What options exist for non-normative interpretations of these phenomena? On the basis of these conversations, we will engage in. The discussion that ensued made clear that G members desire in-depth treatment of film pedagogy at all levels of German, but that more far-reaching discussions would require a three-day seminar. German language specialists integrate films into all levels of language, literature and culture instruction as an engaging, contextualized sources of authentic language that model culture and can be reproduced and extrapolated upon by students.

Faculty teaching advanced undergraduate and graduate film seminars in German or those who teach German film to a general campus audience have considerations, ranging from course focus and audience, film selection, screening options, and student projects. Courses run the gamut from defining the film studies within the humanities, national film and culture e.

Transnational Film , to seminars on literature and film adaptations, film analysis, film theory, and cinematic expression e. In order to attract students to the study of German, lower level courses incorporate specific films to convey information about contemporary culture or history, upper-level courses teach a body of film either in German or in English. The purpose of this seminar is to think constructively through the concerns raised in enver regarding the different needs and interests of heterogeneous groups in the class and motivating students to think more analytically beyond understanding content.

They will discuss how to spiral critical film analysis and the development of visual literacy through the entire or large sections of the curriculum, discuss how determine what kind of film course s complement and extend existing curricula, share their own approaches to course development, and discuss effective teaching and assessment strategies at all instructional levels. However, the entanglements between these three distinct historiographies are still an open question. This seminar, Berlin in the Cold War the Cold War in Berlin, seeks to debate the repercussions of the seminal processes that simultaneously divided and coalesced in Berlin in order to explore I local consequences of international relations,.

We have therefore chosen a three-dimensional approach: First, locating Berlin in the Cold War. The struggle between two superpowers over Berlin captured the attention of contemporary policy makers, the international public, artists, and historians alike. Highlighting dramatic events such as the irlift and the Wall s construction in their symbolism for the Cold War, scholars have largely glossed over their impact on local Berliners. Refigured architectures, spatial structures, and economies shaped the everyday life of more than three million individuals.

TEUFELSKINDER von Jules Amedée Barbey D'Aurevilly

Instead of being bystanders, Berliners in East and West gradually developed strategies to thrive within and with the Cold War paradigm. The erection of the Berlin Wall in eventually cut most connections between East and West. Hence an integrated post-war history would go beyond the contrasting comparison of dictatorship vs.

Third, remembering Cold War Berlin. Berlin has been the preeminent symbol of the Cold War for decades, and it still is. Numerous memoirs, museums, and plagues attempt to keep experiences of Cold War Berlin tangible. Buildings such as the former llied Headquarters, the Free University, the Congress Hall, and several oviet War Memorials stand as indelible legacies of the Cold War while globally exported segments of the Wall reinforce Berlin s reputation as the conflict s epicenter. Taken together, a discussion of these three dimensions can jumpstart interdisciplinary work towards an integrated Cold War Berlin history.

This seminar offers a unique opportunity to break down traditional barriers. It will bring together researchers from different generations and both sides of the tlantic to intensify fruitful conversations between different scholarly disciplines. The benefits of an integrated Cold War Berlin history would be considerate: Each day, throngs of tourists from across the world visit Berlin in search for Cold War authenticity, only to find the tacky circus of Checkpoint Charlie.

Their strong interest deserves better answers. Exciting scholarly projects ranging from the underlying tensions in Heimatfilms Johannes von Moltke to representations of the ghetto image in German gangsta-rap music Maria tehle , and from an interest in the aesthetics of graffiti Johannes Temeschinko to the rising fascination with German cience-fiction onja Fritzsche, unka imon , testify to the critical currency such materials bring to discourses on globalization, politics, labor, and free time in Germany.

The artistic practices under investigation have in common that they challenge rigid and stereotypical notions of German identity, create sites of resistance, and query the role of nationalism in the age of globalization. This avenue of research simultaneously illustrates the critical edge German tudies brings to broader intellectual and academic-institutional problems with aesthetics, politics, identity, technology, and economics.

While we are all well aware of the siren cry of the crisis in the humanities and the fear that German tudies will be deemed inessential in light of TEM-rhetoric, pop-, sub-, and lowbrow cultural practices are indeed particularly adept at not only responding to such challenges, but also critiquing them. Concurrently, such interventions into and interruptions of the TEM paradigm tend on a humanist level to the inescapable concerns of the economic-employment based logic that constitutes the realities of higher education and continue to assert the relevancy and necessity of cultural and aesthetic critique, in particular, and critical thinking, in general.

With sessions on the present and future of pop-, sub- and lowbrow cultural studies, the field as a foil for the discussion on the future of German tudies, and the practice of non-traditional work in the classroom, this threepart seminar wishes to offer a forum to rethink the place of these productive sub-categories within the field of German tudies.

In our discussions we seek to address bigger intellectual questions about media censorship after the Third Reich, the emergence of political violence in West Germany, or reunified Germany s coming to terms with its newfound multi-cultural selfunderstanding through non-traditional texts and practices. It is our goal to create an interdisciplinary discussion that sketches out the future direction of research agendas on pop-, sub-, and lowbrow cultures, enables scholars to devise publishing strategies outside the canonical narrative of the scholarly manuscript, and evaluates the prospects of firmly establishing courses on the topic in higher learning.

We hope that these seminar discussions will allow us to assess and discuss how this complex topic is taught in today s language, literature, culture, and history courses and in the digital humanities at U.. We envision three main points of departure for seminar discussions, which, depending on the nature of the submissions, could be the foci for the three seminar days: The first is lan Rosen s question pertaining to the use of English in teaching the Representation of the Holocaust: How does a teacher resolve the tension between the centrality of English to teaching the Holocaust, on the one hand, and its marginality to the events, on the other?

We would like to extend his notion to the Teaching of Holocaust-related topics in the German- language classroom. We are equally interested in discussing how the increasingly digitized classroom as well as digitized forms of memorialization have impacted our teaching and the selection of teaching materials at a time when we commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the camps in and , and when the era of the living witnesses to the events of the Holocaust is coming to a close. What is the role of Holocaust literature in German tudies at times in which apps for smartphones such as the recently launched tolpersteine pp in Munich are developed to offer digital, virtual versions of memorials for the modern tourist?

How has the public history of the Holocaust changed with digitized forms of memorialization? What is the degree of complementarity of all these forms as they enrich Holocaust tudies?

Third, we would like to take a look at the dual roles that many of us assume as researchers and educators, and consequently the challenges that we face when working at U.. One central issue we would like to debate in our respective roles concerns the different nature of questions about the hoah and its legacies. We hope that our seminar discussion will initiate a fruitful debate on whether the demands of our classroom be it in German tudies, History, or Comparative Literature are reflected in the questions that are posed by researchers.

How do we teach the history, memory, and memorialization of the Holocaust in the different disciplines i. German tudies, cultural component of language instruction, History, Comparative Literature? In what way do memorials and memorialization impact and complement the teaching of Holocaust literature in German tudies and German language instruction?

How can the revival of Jewish life in Germany impact the teaching of the Holocaust in German tudies and German language instruction? How is the Holocaust addressed in the digital humanities? How do pedagogical questions differ from research questions. What are the pedagogical concerns in teaching courses or parts of a course in either German or English? How do our learning objectives differ in courses taught in English versus those taught in German and in those that use both?

This seminar has solicited proposals from literary, cultural studies, and history teacher-scholars who investigate various strategies, including the use of digital teaching materials, for teaching the Representation of the Holocaust in German tudies, and who address pedagogical concerns related to the choice of the language of instruction.

Rethinking Migration and German Culture hawnee Fri 8: It might simply be that kin, OEzdamar, and Zaimoglu have not produced anything recently, that OEzdogan is not quite up to serious scholarly attention, and that Thilo arrazin is no longer making headlines; but it is likely that the topic will rise again, once the next set of novels and films, perhaps produced by a new, as of yet unfamiliar set of creative artists, appears in cinemas and bookstores. Turkish German writers and filmmakers may no longer dominate, but migrants will probably remain a central force in contemporary German culture.

It is, however, just as possible that Zaimoglu was correct in his assessment: Migrationsliteratur ist ein toter Kadaver. If so, we need to reassess interpretative works by delson, Cheesman, Fachinger, Mani, eyhan, and others, because they describe a passing fashion rather than a Turkish turn in contemporary German lit-.

With very few exceptions, the scholarly discourse surrounding migrants as a cultural force assumes that migration to Germany began in , when the Federal Republic started recruiting Gastarbeiter. While it is certainly true, as the previous paragraph suggests, that this paradigm helped scholars deal with literary and filmic texts that broke through the canonic structures of previous literary history, the object of inquiry has always been oddly narrow.

Migrant literature began to gain legitimacy within Germany in , when the Chamisso-Preis was first awarded for important contributions to German literature by nonnative German authors Weinrich. Not only does that definition cry out for unpacking, but the prize s namesake was also an early nineteenth-century refugee from the French Revolution who was able to enter the canon of German literature with a work about migration, chlemihl. In other words, migration, including culturally significant migration, has a much longer history.

It was well underway by the eighteenth century, when it coincided and conflicted with early theories of ethnic and linguistic nationalism, which meant that Jews, starting with Moses Mendelssohn, were treated as migrants. Huguenots extend the timeframe into the seventeenth century. In the twentieth century a re-imagined category might include the Vertriebene Grass, Lenz, Wolf, Hein and citizens of the GR, groups whose writers and filmmakers often explored the same questions of status within the hegemonic culture as their post compatriots.

Using integration and identity to describe these efforts binds us to contested terms, so rethinking would have to explore categories such as post-migrant, global, and trans-national. The time seems ripe and a G seminar the perfect venue for such a reexamination. On the one hand the seminar encourages participants to present research on historical theories of sexual pathology from Heinrich Hoessli to Richard von Krafft - Ebing to Otto Weininger.

Whether scholars scrutinize the racist, sexist, and anti-emitic premises of historical theories or whether they are concerned with building innovative methodological apparatuses for investigating the pathologization of certain desires, theories of and on sexual pathology often generate tensions due to epistemological, political, social, and personal differences. The goal of this seminar is to bring together scholars working on this volatile area of cultural history in order to develop and exchange ideas about theoretical approaches to the history of sexual pathology.

Rather than swapping anecdotes about archaic and contemporary practices of corporeal and social control mechanisms against sexual perversions, the seminar will look at questions of methodology and theory both among participants and in some prominent works of research on the topic. How do scholars position themselves in terms of the politics of sexual pathology, especially in terms of historical scholarship concerning desires still considered pathological today? How do anachronistic concepts of sexual pathology facilitate or impede historical argumentation?

The seminar also has the goal of bringing together members from a vibrant community of scholars working on issues of the history of sexuality within German tudies worldwide and at various stages in their academic careers.

Recent published scholarship includes fter the History of exuality , edited by cott pector, Helmut Puff, and agmar Herzog. In North merica, conferences such as Popex! University of lberta, and The German iscovery of ex Clark University, have built up expertise in the subject. Building on momentum from the Crimes of Passion conference in Muenster July , the seminar seeks to foster exchange between scholars on both sides of the tlantic and beyond working on this diverse field of research.

The seminar focuses the considerable interest in the history of sexuality in German tudies on questions of pathology, while at the same time expanding the field to include less frequently studied pathologies. More recent exchanges have focused on dialogue and reconciliation, with mixed results. German and Polish historians have developed a common high school history textbook. The German and Polish foreign offices, along with support from the European Union, have sponsored joint educational efforts.

Recent museum exhibits in Berlin have highlighted the continuing cultural bonds between the countries. German and Polish artists, writers, and filmmakers have likewise grappled with the complex history between Germans and Poles. The public reception in both countries to these developments has been mixed, with political ideologies and national memories on both sides shaping the variety of responses. This seminar will enable scholars from a diversity of disciplines as well as scholars of Germany and Poland to assess the continuing and emerging trends in Germany-Polish studies and to foster a multi- and interdisciplinary network of scholars.

Longer-term goals include exploration of an edited collection of essays or a special edition of a journal. In order to help focus each day s discussion, participants will prepare thought papers on three conceptual categories: Memories, Territories, and ialogues. Participants will discuss the temporal manifestations of the German-Polish relationship. Possible areas of focus include: How have Germans and Poles remembered their shared histories?

How have these memories changed over the course of different political regimes in both countries? How do the physical and spatial manifestations of these pasts differ and resemble each other? How do Poles and Germans engage the histories and lives of Jews in both countries? How have artists and writers grappled with the complexities of German-Polish interactions over time?

How have they portrayed the memories of expulsions after World War II in both countries? How has the recent effort to construct a museum in Berlin commemorating these expulsions unleashed a flurry of debate as well as desires for reconciliation? How have Poles more recently begun exploring the multicultural heritage of these territories?

How have Polish and German artists, writers, and filmmakers grappled with the cultural, linguistic, and ethnic complexities of these lands? How are the recent calls from German and Polish minorities in both countries for greater support of their language and cultural traditions reflective of broader trends of ethnic reassertions as well as components of the reconciliation process? This final session will enable participants to reflect on discussions from the first two days and also identify and assess the recent efforts at reconciliation between Germans and Poles.

What are the motivations of German and Polish politicians in highlighting points of commonality and shared interests? How successful have these efforts been? How do continuing prejudices and feelings of mistrust on both sides manifest themselves? Will the growing economic ties between the two countries foster or complicate efforts towards dialogue and reconciliation?
