The combination of Ed Balls in Germany and the Goethe-Lexicon of Philosophical Concepts is quite something...the terms sublime and ridiculous don't spring to mind at all.... ;-)
Still, at least Schiller should be  having a bit of a moment with Ode to Joy trending!

Ed Balls in Germany…

Message for those looking for a distraction from the events of the day …
… as well as for those who find current developments in Germany no less significant than the German perspective on Britain …

If you missed it, you may like to take a look at yesterday’s BBC2 programme Ed Balls’ Travels in Euroland, particularly the sequence that was filmed in Bremen. This can be accessed via iPlayer for the next couple of weeks.

CFP: Second International Workshop of the Goethe-Lexicon of
Philosophical Concepts (G-LPC)
Cambridge, 10-11 July 2020


We invite contributions to the Second International Workshop of the
Goethe-Lexicon of Philosophical Concepts (G-LPC), a collaborative
research initiative investigating the central role played by concepts
and their reinvention in Goethe’s development as a heterodox thinker.
The lexicon is an online, open-access research tool that seeks to make
Goethe available beyond the German-speaking world to a global readership
and to offer a resource for scholars outside German Studies, enabling
them to connect their work to a thinker who, until recently, remained
largely unacknowledged for his philosophical interests and achievements.
A beta-version of the lexicon is currently available with a few sample
entries at the following URL:
https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.goethe-lexicon.pitt.edu%2FGL%2Fissue%2Fview%2F1&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cj.catling%40UEA.AC.UK%7C49eb655d1e9d4aadde7a08d7a6332605%7Cc65f8795ba3d43518a070865e5d8f090%7C0%7C0%7C637160610923501184&amp;sdata=1LWKfi404jNImwTQoYJE3YXzrUAXJ5GJIfrOzl%2BKTWU%3D&amp;reserved=0.  Two instalments
with approximately 25 entries are scheduled for publication in 2020.

The workshop will take place at the University of Cambridge from 10-11
July 2020. Its purpose will be to discuss drafts of future entries to
the lexicon. Rooms will be available at Murray Edwards College.
Participants will be expected to cover the costs of their travel and
lodging (£75/night for a single room, £115/night for a double). All
meals will be provided.

We are especially interested in submissions on concepts from the list
below.

Please submit your proposals of 300-500 words no later than March 2,
2020, to Clark Muenzer ([log in to unmask]), John H. Smith
([log in to unmask]), and Charlotte Lee ([log in to unmask]).

Completed papers should be between 2500 and 4000 words. They must be
submitted by May 30, 2020. The workshop will be limited to 20-25
participants. Some participants will be invited to offer brief
commentaries on entries.

Submissions that cannot be accepted due to space limitations will still
be considered as future lexicon entries.
