Dear Colleagues,
On the occasion of Sigmund Freud's 150th Anniversary the Department of German at University College Cork invites you to a very special lecture by
Prof Liliane Weissberg,
University of Pennsylvania,
"Exit Dora: Freud's Patient Leaves."
Tuesday, 23rd May 2006 at 5 pm, ORB 1.24
Prof Weissberg is Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor in the
School of Arts and Sciences and Professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Her interests focus on late eighteenth-century to early twentieth-century German literature and philosophy, much of her work has concentrated on German, European, and American Romanticism, but she has also written on the notion of representation in realism, on photography, and on literary and feminist theory.
Her most recent books are a critical edition of Hannah Arendt's Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewess (1997), which has received much attention, and the anthologies, Cultural Memory and the Construction of Identity (with Dan Ben-Amos, 1999) and Romancing the Shadow: Poe and Race (with J. Gerald Kennedy, 2001). Most of Weissberg's work in recent years has been concerned with the recovery of a German-Jewish literary and cultural tradition. She has worked extensively on Jewish women writers of the early nineteenth century, such as Henriette Herz, Dorothea Schlegel, Regina Frohberg, and Rahel Varnhagen. She is currently completing a book on early German-Jewish autobiography that will center on Salomon Maimon, Lazarus Bendavid, Henriette Herz, Moses Mendelssohn, and Benjamin Veitel Ephraim.
