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.

SUMMARY:Hannah Eldridge
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:I bring discussions of lyric poetry and its affordances togethe
 r with\nthinking about race and identity\, specifically through postcoloni
 al\ntheory and poetics. 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
 .

SUMMARY:Priscilla Layne
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Martin Dean’s novel _Meine Väter_ (“My Fathers\,” 2003
 )\nfollows Robert\, a Swiss man of Indo-Trinidadian origin\, whose\ndaught
 er’s birth triggers an existential crisis over his uncertain\nidentity. 
 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.
