Dear colleagues, 



Just to say that as someone not really involved in German Studies on a day-to-day basis, I also really appreciate the efforts of colleagues like Leila Essa and Henrike Lähnemann to pass on salient issues and articles from the SZ and elsewhere.



Best wishes,



Ian

Subject: Encounter with Ursula Knoll and Ruth Martin (London, 7 March 2024)



INGEBORG BACHMANN CENTRE FOR AUSTRIAN LITERATURE & CULTURE at the INSTITUTE OF LANGUAGES, CULTURES AND SOCIETIES School of Advanced Study, University of London





Booking link: https://ilcs.sas.ac.uk/events/encounters-writers-and-translators-conversation-ursula-knoll-and-ruth-martin



Thursday, 7 March 2024, 17:30-19:00

At the University of London Senate House (in person)



An Encounter with Ursula Knoll and Ruth Martin (Writers and Translators in Conversation)





Ursula Knoll's debut novel Lektionen in dunkler Materie [Lessons in Dark Matter] intertwines the lives of a group of women, who are at points in their lives where societal and individual pressures lead them to various decisive actions. As we follow the increasingly linked fates of the characters, this feminist and witty take on the group novel touches on the dilemmas and destructive forces in the ways we live now. Ursula Knoll is joined by Ruth Martin, who has translated excerpts from the novel especially for this discussion.



Ursula Knoll <https://www.ursulaknoll.net/> studied German Literature, Jewish Studies and Gender Studies in Vienna. She held a Raul Hilberg Fellowship at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC, where she worked on her doctorate on Nazi Perpetrators in Literature. Subsequently she trained as a dramatist at the Wiener Burgtheater and the wiener wortstaetten. She has written plays, short stories and essays. Lektionen in dunkler Materie is her first novel.





Ruth Martin<http://www.german-to-english-translation.org/> studied English and European Literature before gaining a PhD in German. She has been translating fiction and non-fiction books since 2010, by authors ranging from Joseph Roth and Hannah Arendt to Volker Weidermann and Shida Bazyar. Ruth has taught translation at the University of Kent and the Bristol Translates summer school. Her co-translation (with Charlotte Collins) of Nino Haratischwili's The Eighth Life won the 2020 Warwick Prize for Women in Translation.







Extracts from the text in English are available on the event webpage: https://ilcs.sas.ac.uk/events/encounters-writers-and-translators-conversation-ursula-knoll-and-ruth-martin



This event will be held in person in the University of London Senate House. Attendance is free, but seats are limited and advance booking is essential (booking link above).

Refreshments will be served at the start.







This Encounter is sponsored by the Ingeborg Bachmann Centre for Austrian Literature & Culture at the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies<https://ilcs.sas.ac.uk/research-centres/ingeborg-bachmann-centre-austrian-literature-culture-ibc>.

Hello,



This looks like a political campaign and not what I am signed up to this thread to read. Can you remove me from the distribution list of any such messages?



Thanks and best regards,

Joanna

(My apologies for double-posting, but it has been kindly posted out to me that my message could not be displayed in the Jiscmail digest in its previous form - thank you!)



Dear colleagues,



The Süddeutsche Zeitung has cited my findings on the false reporting against Sharon Dodua Otoo and "Artists for Palestine UK" in this article: https://www.sueddeutsche.de/medien/blog-ruhrbarone-israel-palaestina-krieg-antisemitismus-1.6385617<https://www.sueddeutsche.de/medien/blog-ruhrbarone-israel-palaestina-krieg-antisemitismus-1.6385617> (without paywall here: https://archive.is/LlADy)<https://archive.is/LlADy>. In it, Sonja Zekri portrays the dubious blog behind the initial accusations against Otoo, which politicians and larger media in Germany repeated without fact-check. She also outlines the blog's disproportionately influential role in German public discourse more widely (e.g. with regard to the Documenta 15).



For anyone interested in a more detailed version of my findings and the request for public clarification that I had sent to Bochum politicians last month, all relevant links are listed in this post on my research blog: https://intervention.sites.uu.nl/2024/01/22/bochum-update/<https://intervention.sites.uu.nl/2024/01/22/bochum-update/>.



It is good to see that the politicians, who had merely insisted "zur Sache ist alles geklärt" in response, are being proven wrong by this new SZ report.



All very best,



Leila Essa

Subject: Georg Hermann's Long-Lost Exile Novel (London, 21 March 2024)



INSTITUTE OF LANGUAGES, CULTURES AND SOCIETIES School of Advanced Study, University of London



Booking now open: https://ilcs.sas.ac.uk/events/writing-lives-those-stayed-behind-georg-hermanns-long-lost-exile-novel-die-daheim-blieben



Thursday, 21 March 2024, 18:00-19:30

Lecture at the University of London Senate House (in person/hybrid)



Writing the Lives of Those that Stayed Behind.

Georg Hermann's Long-Lost Exile Novel 'Die daheim blieben'



Speaker: Godela Weiss-Sussex (ILCS, University of London)



In the winter of 1939-40, exiled in the Dutch city of Hilversum, Georg Hermann was working on a novel that he regarded as one of his most important. Entitled Die daheim blieben [Those that Stayed Behind], it was to be composed of four parts and tell the story of a large, diverse German-Jewish family in Berlin from March 1933 to November 1938. He was unable to complete the novel or see it published, and it was long thought to have been lost. Recently, however, the manuscripts of the first two parts were discovered among papers held by Hermann's grandson, George Rothschild. After careful editing by Godela Weiss-Sussex the text was finally published for the first time by Wallstein Verlag (Göttingen) in September 2023.



In her talk Godela Weiss-Sussex, Professor of Modern German Literature at the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies (University of London), considers the story of the manuscript and its journey to publication, and introduces the novel's content, characters and contexts. The talk gives a flavour of an extraordinary text that the author himself judged to be the 'very best Georg Hermann'.



This lecture will be held in person at the University of London Senate House and online. All are welcome to attend. Advance online booking is essential at the link below. Booking closes at midnight on 20 March.
