64th National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies Please note: the date of this event has been changed to avoid a clash with another event scheduled for 9 November. The closing date for submission of abstracts is now 21 September. Monday, 5 November 2018 Venue: The University of Bristol CALL FOR PAPERS The National Postgraduate Colloquium in German Studies is a biannual event organised in association with the Institute of Modern Languages Research (IMLR - formerly Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies) at the University of London. Launched in 1987, it provides an informal and friendly forum for graduate students in all areas of German Studies to present and discuss their current research. Offers of papers from graduate students working on any aspect of German Studies, including all periods of literature, the arts, social sciences, history, and linguistics are invited for the 64th meeting, which will take place at the University of Bristol. A general knowledge of German culture and language can be assumed, though not a specialised knowledge of individual topics. 9 November 2018 marks 80 years since the violent anti-Jewish pogroms that were perpetrated throughout Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland under National Socialism. While this is a general call for papers, and commemorating the victims of the pogrom is not the official theme of this Colloquium, we warmly invite anyone who wishes to do so to address the importance of this date as a reminder to be vigilant against antisemitism and right-wing extremism. Presentations, no longer than 20 minutes in length, should be targeted to the occasion and make use of appropriate media. Papers may be given in English or German. Each paper is followed by a 10-minute period for questions and discussion. If you would like to contribute a paper, please send an abstract of not more than 500 words to the organisers, c/o [log in to unmask]<http:[log in to unmask]>. The abstract must include the following information as part of the same file (in either MS Word or pdf format): * Your name, postal address, email address, and contact telephone number * The name of the institution at which you are registered * The media required for your presentation (e.g. OHP, cd/cassette player; slide projector, data projector/ laptop [PowerPoint], VHS player) Offers of papers must be received by 21 September 2018.
