Dear colleagues,
as the culmination of a three-year British Academy funded project on 'discourses of normalisation' in post-unification Germany the Department of German at Leeds is hosting a conference, September 1-2 2004 (one night).
The conference will run parallel to a conference organised by Frank Finlay, on the same site, on Uwe Timm. We are hopeful that Timm will be present. (See http://www.german.leeds.ac.uk/ <http://www.german.leeds.ac.uk/> http://www.german.leeds.ac.uk/ <http://www.german.leeds.ac.uk/> > and follow link).
This is a SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS.
We already have twenty excellent speakers and papers lined up on a range of topics including: theoretical debates on 'normalisation', German foreign policy, Germany and the Gulf War, 'Ostalgie' and the ex-GDR, the treatment of the Holocaust in contemporary German politics, society and culture, the 'West German past', '68, and a range of other literary, filmic and cultural topics relating to 'normalisation'.
What we are hoping for now, specifically, would be two to three papers covering the following areas: GENDER AND 'NORMALISATION'; ETHNIC MINORITIES AND 'NORMALISATION', and ECONOMIC POLICY AND 'NORMALISATION.
If you feel that you would like to offer a paper in one of these three areas, then please get in touch in the next few weeks or so!
with best wishes,
Stuart Taberner
