(Re)Visions: New Ideas in German and European Studies
A Graduate Student Conference at the University of Massachusetts at
Amherst
26-27 March 2004
The graduate students of the Department of Germanic Languages and
Literatures are pleased to announce an upcoming conference in German
and European Studies. (Re)Visions: New Ideas in German and European
Studies will be a forum for emerging theorists and scholars in the
areas of German Studies and European Studies. Furthering the
disciplines in which they work and learn, young(er) researchers
examine, critique, discuss, and interact with the work of their
predecessors, while simultaneously offering their own theories and
ideas. The graduate students and junior scholars of today change the
faces of their disciplines and are crucial elements of the developing
academic world(s).
With this in mind, the conference organizers call for papers for the
panels listed below. Anyone interested is also encouraged to submit
their best seminar paper or papers that may not fit into one of the
panels listed, as panels are still being added.
Presentations should be no longer than 20 minutes and should be in
English. Abstracts may be submitted in either English or German.
Institutionalizing the Colonial Fantasy
Medieval and Renaissance Studies
Searching for the Nation, Searching for the Self
Queerly Speaking: Queer Studies
Other
