"Contested Legacies" is a conference that reflects on both the work of
thinkers and artists forced to flee Hitler’s Germany and on fifty years of
scholarship. The title refers to the claims and counterclaims of the emigrants
about the intellectual legacies they brought with them into exile. Additionally,
"Contested Legacies" is about the debates generated by the emigrés' rich
and diverse achievements, continuously contested within the emigré cohort
itself and then among succeeding generations of their followers and
detractors. The conference program assembles an international,
interdisciplinary, and intergenerational group of participants consisting of
almost forty scholars, the three-day conference will take place in the context
of the Bard Music Festival’s exploration of Gustav Mahler and His
World—another contested legacy. "Contested Legacies" is a sequel to "No
Happy End," an earlier workshop that defined the terms of the common
project.
