CALL FOR PAPERS »Writing Against War - Writing Against Violence. Ingeborg Bachmann and German-language Literature since 1945« Symposium at the University of Nottingham 14-15 January 2005 The Department of German at the University of Nottingham will be hosting the bilingual multi-media exhibition »Writing Against War - Ingeborg Bachmann 1926-1973« (presented by the *Literatur-Verein zur Förderung von Werk- und Kunstverständnis', Vienna, in collaboration with the Austrian Foreign Ministry and Hans Höller, Salzburg) during the period 10-22 January 2005. To mark this occasion, we are organising a two-day symposium exploring the theme of the exhibition in the wider context of literary representions of war and violence in society both in the work of Ingeborg Bachmann and in that of other Austrian, German or Swiss authors since 1945. We would like to invite proposals for papers - which focus on the theme of writing against war and coping with war in modern society, - which look at representations of these themes in Ingeborg Bachmann or in any other author(s) writing in German since 1945, - which explore the impact of Ingeborg Bachmann's writing on contemporary German-language literature, - and/or which address wider aspects of writing against violence either in the literature of the post-war period or in contemporary German, Austrian or Swiss literature. Papers can be in English or in German.
