Many\nfilmmakers\, writers\, and actors forced into exile i nitially went to\nAustria\, where they were able to produce independent fi lms until the\n_Anschluss_ of 1938. This talk focuses on director Henry Ko ster\, who\nbegan his career in Berlin\, made several independent films wh ile in\nexile in Austria\, and finally reached Hollywood\, where he was on e of a\nfairly small number of exile directors to build a truly successful \ncareer. By tracing continuities across his work\, I will consider how\nK oster’s Austrian independent films\, which were marked indelibly by\nthe experience of exile\, shaped his later work and contributed to the\ndevel opment of Hollywood genres.\n\nPart of The Diefenbaker Lectures\n[/german ic-slavic-studies/node/1105]\, a series of talks by leading\nscholars in G erman studies.\n\n_Anjeana Hans is Professor and Chair of German Studies a t Wellesley\nCollege._\n\n-------------------------\n\n_If you wish to att end\, please register at Eventbrite\n[https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-dief enbaker-lecture-series-anjeana-hans-tickets-1983384997920?aff=oddtdtcreato r]\n- there's a reception after the lecture\, and we want to make sure\nev eryone gets something to eat and drink!_ DTSTAMP:20260313T215554Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:69b487ea3ff72 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260326T190000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260326T210000 URL:https://uwaterloo.ca/centre-for-german-studies/events/hannah-eldridge LOCATION:Balsillie School of International Affairs 67 Erb Street West Water loo ON Canada SUMMARY:Hannah Eldridge CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:THE (GERMANOPHONE) POEM AND THE (CONNECTED) WORLD\n\n [Hannah E ldridge]\nI bring discussions of lyric poetry and its affordances together with\nthinking about race and identity\, specifically through postcolonia l\ntheory and poetics. Drawing on Édouard Glissant’s conception of\n“ Relation” as multidirectional and dynamic interconnection\, I\ntrace pat hs from Rainer Maria Rilke in Paris to Algeria\, Sudan\, and\nthe Caribbea n. In doing so\, I aim to re-think the canon and the\nmargins of German po etry as porous and open to contestation. This\nmeans both expanding defini tions of “Germanness” and setting\nGermanophone and other language tex ts into relation\, tracking routes\nof mutual strangeness and influence.\n \nPart of The Diefenbaker Lectures\n[/germanic-slavic-studies/node/1105]\ , a series of talks by leading\nscholars in German studies.\n\n_Hannah Eld ridge is Professor of German at the University of\nWisconsin-Madison where she also edits the scholarly journal\n_Monatshefte_._\n\n---------------- ---------\n\n_If you wish to attend\, please register at Eventbrite\n[http s://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-diefenbaker-lecture-series-hannah-eldridge-tic kets-1983384908653?aff=oddtdtcreator]\n-  there's a reception after the l ecture\, and we want to make sure\neveryone gets something to eat and drin k!_ DTSTAMP:20260313T215554Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:69b487ea4209d DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260305T190000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260305T210000 URL:https://uwaterloo.ca/centre-for-german-studies/events/priscilla-lane LOCATION:Balsillie School of International Affairs 67 Erb Street West Water loo ON Canada SUMMARY:Priscilla Lane CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:SWISS POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURE? READING MARTIN DEAN'S _MEINE\nV ÄTER_ (2003) THROUGH TRAUMA\, MUTISM\, AND THIRD SPACE\n\nMartin Dean’ s novel _Meine Väter_ (“My Fathers\,” 2003)\nfollows Robert\, a Swi ss man of Indo-Trinidadian origin\, whose\ndaughter’s birth triggers an existential crisis over his uncertain\nidentity. Raised by his Swiss mothe r and Indo-Trinidadian stepfather\,\nRobert seeks answers from his biologi cal father\, Ray. Yet when he\nfinally finds Ray in London\, living in a n ursing home and mute\nfollowing a racist attack\, Robert’s search become s an exploration of\nabsence rather than revelation. Robert and his father ’s subsequent\njourney to Trinidad unfolds as a quest for truth that rem ains\nunresolved\, fragmented across conflicting accounts from relatives\, \nfriends\, and cultural artefacts. I argue that Dean’s novel employs\np sychoanalytic and postcolonial frameworks\, in particularly trauma\,\nhybr idity\, dislocation\, and Homi Bhabha’s “third space\,” to\nstage th e impossibility of recovery and self-coherence. Ray’s\nmuteness function s as both the bodily trace of colonial violence and\nan aesthetic “void\ ,” positioning _Meine Väter_ as a compelling\nexample of Swiss postco lonial literature.\n\nPart of The Diefenbaker Lectures\n[/germanic-slavic -studies/node/1105]\, a series of talks by leading\nscholars in German stu dies.\n\n_Priscilla Layne is Professor of German and Director of the Cente r for\nEuropean Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ._\n\n-------------------------\n\n_If you wish to attend\, please registe r at Eventbrite\n[https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-diefenbaker-lecture-seri es-priscilla-layne-tickets-1983384515477?aff=oddtdtcreator]\n- there's a r eception after the lecture\, and we want to make sure\neveryone gets somet hing to eat and drink!_ DTSTAMP:20260313T215554Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:69b487ea44471 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20220628T150000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20220628T150000 URL:https://uwaterloo.ca/centre-for-german-studies/events/lecture-and-works hop-visiting-researcher-georg-marschnig LOCATION:HH - J.G.
