The conference will explore a variety of issues: the influence of French movements and writers on Expressionists; the problems of the term 'Expressionism' in cross-cultural fields of production; and the affinities between Expressionist literature and art and French culture. > > PROGRAMME > > Wednesday, 24 May > Room ST 274/275, Stewart House > > 10.00 Registration > 10.30 Welcome > 10.45 Rémy Colombat (Paris): Expressionismus und französischer Symbolismus im Zusammenhang der lyrischen Moderne > 11.30 Andreas Kramer (London): 'Paris liegt einfach am Bayrischen Platz zu Berlin'.
