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.

Drawing on Édouard Glissant’s conception of\n “Relation” as multidirectional and dynamic interconnection\, I\ntrace paths from Rainer Maria Rilke in Paris to Algeria\, Sudan\, and\nthe Carib bean. In doing so\, I aim to re-think the canon and the\nmargins of German poetry as porous and open to contestation. This\nmeans both expanding def initions of “Germanness” and setting\nGermanophone and other language texts into relation\, tracking routes\nof mutual strangeness and influence .

Raised by his Swiss mother and Indo-Trinidadian stepfather\,\nRobert seeks answers from his biological father\, Ray. Yet when he\nfinally finds Ray in London\, living in a nursing home and mute\nfollowing a racist attack\, Robert’s search becomes an exploration of\nabsence rather than revelati on. Robert and his father’s subsequent\njourney to Trinidad unfolds as a quest for truth that remains\nunresolved\, fragmented across conflicting accounts from relatives\,\nfriends\, and cultural artefacts. I argue that Dean’s novel employs\npsychoanalytic and postcolonial frameworks\, in pa rticularly trauma\,\nhybridity\, dislocation\, and Homi Bhabha’s “thir d space\,” to\nstage the impossibility of recovery and self-coherence. R ay’s\nmuteness functions as both the bodily trace of colonial violence a nd\nan aesthetic “void\,” positioning _Meine Väter_ as a compelling \nexample of Swiss postcolonial literature.
