SUMMARY:Anjeana Hans
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:FROM VIENNA TO HOLLYWOOD: INDEPENDENT FILMS\, EXILE\, AND THE 
 SHAPING\nOF HOLLYWOOD GENRE\n\n [Anjeana Hans]\nWhen the Nazis rose to pow
 er in Germany in 1933\, they instituted laws\nthat systematically excluded
  Jewish Germans from cultural and social\nlife and thus marked the start o
 f a wave of forced immigration. Many\nfilmmakers\, writers\, and actors fo
 rced into exile initially went to\nAustria\, where they were able to produ
 ce independent films until the\n_Anschluss_ of 1938. This talk focuses on 
 director Henry Koster\, who\nbegan his career in Berlin\, made several ind
 ependent films while in\nexile in Austria\, and finally reached Hollywood\
 , where he was one of a\nfairly small number of exile directors to build a
  truly successful\ncareer. By tracing continuities across his work\, I wil
 l consider how\nKoster’s Austrian independent films\, which were marked 
 indelibly by\nthe experience of exile\, shaped his later work and contribu
 ted to the\ndevelopment of Hollywood genres.\n\nPart of The Diefenbaker L
 ectures\n[/germanic-slavic-studies/diefenbaker-lectures]\, a series of tal
 ks by\nleading scholars in German studies.\n\n_Anjeana Hans is Professor a
 nd Chair of German Studies at Wellesley\nCollege._\n\n--------------------

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

 dison where she also edits the scholarly journal\n_Monatshefte_._\n\n-----

SUMMARY:Priscilla Layne
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:SWISS POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURE? READING MARTIN DEAN'S _MEINE\nV
 ÄTER_ (2003) THROUGH TRAUMA\, MUTISM\, AND THIRD SPACE\n\n [Priscilla La
 yne]\nMartin Dean’s novel _Meine Väter_ (“My Fathers\,” 2003)\nfo
 llows Robert\, a Swiss man of Indo-Trinidadian origin\, whose\ndaughter’
 s birth triggers an existential crisis over his uncertain\nidentity. Raise
 d by his Swiss mother and Indo-Trinidadian stepfather\,\nRobert seeks answ
 ers from his biological father\, Ray. Yet when he\nfinally finds Ray in Lo
 ndon\, living in a nursing home and mute\nfollowing a racist attack\, Robe
 rt’s search becomes an exploration of\nabsence rather than revelation. R
 obert and his father’s subsequent\njourney to Trinidad unfolds as a ques
 t for truth that remains\nunresolved\, fragmented across conflicting accou
 nts from relatives\,\nfriends\, and cultural artefacts. I argue that Dean
 ’s novel employs\npsychoanalytic and postcolonial frameworks\, in partic
 ularly trauma\,\nhybridity\, dislocation\, and Homi Bhabha’s “third sp
 ace\,” to\nstage the impossibility of recovery and self-coherence. Ray
 ’s\nmuteness functions as both the bodily trace of colonial violence and
 \nan aesthetic “void\,” positioning _Meine Väter_ as a compelling\n
 example of Swiss postcolonial literature.\n\nPart of The Diefenbaker Lect
 ures\n[/germanic-slavic-studies/diefenbaker-lectures]\, a series of talks

 y of North Carolina at Chapel Hill._\n\n-------------------------\n\n_If y
