Subject: German history paper at the GHIL next Thursday
Dear Colleagues,
This is a short message about the GHS annual lecture, co-organized by the IHR Seminar in Modern German History and the German Historical Institute, London, at 5.30pm on Thursday 11 June, at the GHIL, 17 Bloomsbury Square:
Sven Reichardt (Constance)
German Counterculture in the 1970s and 1980s
Terms such as ‘Ganzheitlichkeit’ (holism) and ‘Selbstverwirklichung’ (self-realization) were typical expressions of the counterculture of the 1970s and 1980s. The lecture gives some insights into discourses, social communication, and everyday life within the countercultural milieux of the German left.
Sven Reichardt is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Constance. His publications include Faschistische Kampfbünde: Gewalt und Gemeinschaft im italienischen Squadrismus und in der deutschen SA (2nd edn. 2009); Authentizität und Gemeinschaft: Linksalternatives Leben in den siebziger und frühen achtziger Jahren (2nd edn. 2014). He is currently working on a book on global fascism.
Yours,
Mark Hewitson
UCL.
