North
Carolina German Studies Seminar
Sunday,
March 22, 2009 | 6:00 - 8:00pm | Hillel Center, UNC
As part of the North Carolina German Studies Seminar & Workshop
Series, Alexandra Sterling-Hellenbrand
(Appalachian State University)
will present a seminar on Performing Literature and/as History:
The Stadtmuseum of Wolframs Eschenbach.
Town museums usually display town
history. How does one begin to understand a town that reads its history in
the literary creation of an author that we
suppose to have lived around 1200 but of whom we have no “real” evidence
other than his poetry? Instead of the usual farm implements and period costumes,
the Stadtmuseum of Wolframs-Eschenbach showcases the artistic products of the
town’s alleged most famous son, the medieval poet Wolfram von Eschenbach.
Wolframs-Eschenbach and its museum are thus one of the most unique examples
of modern performativity and medieval literature. In the Stadtmuseum, the connections
between medieval literature and the town’s history become concrete (become
memory) in a very intentional way. In this talk, Sterling-Hellenbrand will
explore the genesis and concept of the museum as a work of “modern medievalism” or
the “living middle ages.” Please register with Philipp
Stelzel (stelzel@email.unc.edu) in a timely fashion. Refreshments will
be served at 6pm; the seminar will begin at 6:30pm.

please visit www.unc.edu/ncgs/seminars.html.

Maymester:
Identities in Contemporary European Cinema
May 12 - 29, 2009 |
9:00am - 12:15pm, MTWRF | FREN 398 | 3 credit hours
This course examines the construction of European identities
in a range of European films from the 1960s to today. It will analyze and
compare modes of narrating national, class, racial, sexual and social differences
in England, France, Germany, Spain and other European nations.
Focusing on key moments in Europe’s cultural, social and political
history,
we will consider how discourses on otherness have evolved. We will also
investigate the ways in which film culture has reflected, reinforced, reshaped
and, in some instances, vigorously contested Europe’s dominant
ideologies. Course is taught in English with written assignments in either
French or English.

Lectures and Events
Research Triangle
Seminar in the History of the Military, War, and Society
Friday, 20 March, 2009 | 4:00 - 6:00 pm | Duke University East Campus, Carr
Building, Room 229, 114 Campus Drive
Heather
Perry (UNC Charlotte, Dept. of Modern German and European History) will present
a
seminar
entitled Recycling
the Disabled: Medical Mobilization in World War I Germany.
The breathtaking technology of the First World War paradoxically destroyed
and re-created the male body. Soldiers who would have died from less devastating
wounds in previous wars, returned from the trenches as mutilated bodies and
unrecognizable figures. The unexpectedly high human cost of trench warfare
was a constant drain on fit and healthy workers needed elsewhere in the German
war economy. The presentation examines the response of German industry and
medicine to this crisis and argues that through envisioning the male body
as a machine that needed to be repaired and/or reproduced, medical professionals
were able to rationalize the artificial re-creation of the wounded body.
Ultimately, it demonstrates that modern medical technology allowed for the
physical "recycling of the disabled" within the labor economy of
WW I Germany.
The seminar starts at
4:15 pm. Refreshments will be served before the seminar. A pre-circulated
paper is available a week in advance at fbruehoe@email.unc.edu (Friederike
Bruehoefener)

Kafka at 125: An
International Scholarly Conference
April
3-4, 2009 | UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University
Franz Kafka’s literary
career began in the first decade of the twentieth century and produced
some of the most fascinating and influential works
in all of modern European literature. Now, a hundred years later, the concerns
of a new century call for a fresh look not only at what Kafka has meant
to the past ten decades but also at what challenges his writings offer
to the decades ahead.
The organizers of this conference bring to the Research Triangle of North
Carolina a group of distinguished Kafka scholars from North America and
Europe.
We
will celebrate Kafka’s 125th birthday by exploring together the ways
in which this extraordinary writer, who so decisively shaped our conception
of the twentieth century, might suggest fruitful strategies for coping
with the twenty-first.

Smith
Richardson Foundation Predoctoral Fellowships International
Security Studies at Yale (ISS) will award two Smith Richardson Foundation
Predoctoral Fellowships in Security Studies beginning in the fall semester
of 2009. These fellowships will have a term of one academic year.
These predoctoral fellowships will provide an opportunity for advanced doctoral
candidates in the field of security studies (with particular emphasis on international,
diplomatic, and military history) at universities other than Yale to benefit
from a year of involvement with Yale and the ISS community of scholars. Fellows
must be in residence in New Haven, Conn., or its environs during the tenure
of their appointment. They must have largely completed archival research for
their doctoral dissertations; Fellows will be expected to use this Fellowship
to finish writing their dissertations. Applications from non-US citizens are
welcome, but successful applicants bear final responsibility for all immigration-related
issues.
Fellows will have full access to Yale's libraries and other academic resources
but will not be eligible for Yale financial aid or degrees, nor will they be
allowed to take or teach classes. The stipend will be $22,000 for the academic
year, with an additional $3,000 available to cover research expenses. The Fellowship
will provide shared office space at ISS. Fellows will be expected to make all
reasonable efforts to utilize existing health coverage while in residence at
Yale, or to obtain private health insurance. In the event of need, ISS will
supplement the cost of single health coverage for the Fellow to a reasonable
amount, but in no event more than $2,000 per year. Applicants should submit
a CV, a research proposal describing how the Fellowship will be used, graduate
transcripts from their home university, a short (no

North
Carolina German Studies Workshop: Ways of War: Violence and the Culture
of Conflict in Modern Germany April
17-18, 2009 | Cone Center, UNC Charlotte
Germans
can be found at the heart of nearly every transformative conflict of Western
civilization.
From the
Protestant Reformation to the “total
wars” of the twentieth century, scholars have often located Germans and/or
so-called “German ideologies” at the center of these phenomena.
Indeed for some critics of Germany, the guiding principle of the Sonderweg,
or “special path” continues to exercise a firm teleological hold
on scholarship about Germany. Yet, recent interdisciplinary globalization studies
have demonstrated that European cultures, along with their knowledge bases
and technologies were surprisingly far more interconnected in the past than
has been assumed. Given that today many scholars are finding more similarities
between national cultures than differences, to what extent can a certain phenomenon
continue to be labeled specifically “German”?
The theme of the 2nd annual
NCGS conference, Ways of War: Violence and the Culture of Conflict in Modern
Germany
examines these ideas in an international
and interdisciplinary forum. We invite scholarly presentations which consider
the general phenomenon of competition and conflict in Germany—especially
its theoretical development, practical exercise, and long-term impact on both
Germany and the wider world.
The workshop is open to
all students, teachers, scholars as well as anyone in the general public
interested in learning more about this controversial subject in German history,
however, registration is required. Please visit www.unc.edu/ncgs/workshops.html for
details and registration information.
Deadline: April 1, 2009

Viadrina
Summer Workshop: Europe as a Normative Power
June
15 - July 1, 2009 | European University Viadrina | Frankfurt (Oder),
Germany
The summer
university on “Normative Power Europe? European Political
Culture in Global Politics” deals with the role
of the European Union in international politics. What are the strengths
and weaknesses of the EU in international politics? What kind of actor
is it? Is it a normative power, a realist power, or is it more appropriately
described as an imperial power? Although legal, historical and cultural
sciences have all contributed important findings to understanding EU
foreign policy, it is hard to overlook that truly interdisciplinary
approaches are still missing. The summer university will contribute
to overcoming this desiderates by bringing together different disciplinary
perspectives to the analysis of “Europe in the world”.
We will discuss different policies, theoretical approaches and provide
opportunities for presenting own research projects.
