Dear colleagues,
Apologies for x-posting. Please find below a slightly amended Call for
Papers. The conference dates had to be changed to 10th and 11th November 2010.
Wishing you a relaxed Christmas season and a happy New Year!
Stefan Baumgarten
ENGLISH AND GERMAN NATIONALIST AND ANTI-SEMITIC DISCOURSE (1871-1945)
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Historical Discourse Working Group and the Leo Baeck Institute London
with the support of the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations would
like to announce their first international conference to be held at Queen
Mary, University of London on 10-11 November 2010.
PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATE FOR THIS CONFERENCE
The conference organisers, Professor Felicity Rash, Dr Geraldine Horan, Dr
Daniel Wildmann and Dr Stefan Baumgarten, invite proposals in the form of
abstracts of about 150-200 words on relevant topics in the analysis of
pre-1945 nationalist, anti-Semitic or colonialist discourse. We welcome
contributions which discuss issues of methodology or which adopt
interdisciplinary approaches, and we hope to foster debate on points of
contact between linguistics and the historical analysis of political and
ideological discourses. We would be particularly interested in contributions
on nationalist figures who are less well-represented in discourse research.
It is hoped that academic colleagues at all levels of their careers,
including postgraduate students, will offer to present papers or lead workshops.
The conference will be one of the events organised as part of the major
research project, The Discourse of German Nationalism and Anti-Semitism
1871-1924, funded by the Leverhulme Trust and led by Prof. Felicity Rash and
Dr Geraldine Horan. The project website is
http://www.sllf.qmul.ac.uk/research/nationalismproject.
Key note speakers will include Ruth Wodak and Andreas Musolff. It is
intended that the conference proceedings will be published. Please send
expression of interest and abstracts to Dr Stefan Baumgarten by 15 April
2010; email: [log in to unmask]
