SUMMARY:Anjeana Hans
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:FROM VIENNA TO HOLLYWOOD: INDEPENDENT FILMS\, EXILE\, AND THE 
 SHAPING\nOF HOLLYWOOD GENRE\n\nWhen the Nazis rose to power in Germany in 
 1933\, they instituted laws\nthat systematically excluded Jewish Germans f
 rom cultural and social\nlife and thus marked the start of a wave of force
 d immigration. 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

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

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
