CALL FOR PAPERS - SEVENTY-FIRST MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE OF UNIVERSITY 
TEACHERS OF GERMAN IN GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND

The next meeting of the CUTG will jointly hosted by the University of 
Nottingham and the Nottingham Trent University, and will take place on 
17-19 March 2008. This year, the lead panel will focus on 'National 
Identities, Minority Cultures and Their International Contexts: From 
Medieval Universalism to Postcolonial Globalisation'. There will be a 
number of other panels, detailed below, and members are also encouraged to 
suggest their own panels, which should contain a minimum of three papers. 
The selection of panels on offer this year is not intended to limit the 
scope of this or future meetings.

If you are interested in contributing a paper to any of the panels, please 
send your proposal directly to the e-mail address of the conveners listed 
below. If you would like to propose a panel or if you would like to offer a 
paper that does not fall within the remit of any of the listed panels, 
please contact the Conference Secretary Dr Peter J. Davies 
([log in to unmask]). Proposals for papers should be 150-200 words, 
panel outlines 50-100 words.

Proposals for papers should reach the relevant conveners by 30 November 
2007. Any proposals for additional panels should reach Peter Davies by 31 
October 2007.

Lead Panel
National Identities, Minority Cultures and Their International Contexts: 
>From Medieval Universalism to Postcolonial Globalisation
Convener: Dirk Goettsche (University of Nottingham)
[log in to unmask]

Proposals are welcome from all areas of German Studies - literature, 
culture, film studies, history, politics, and linguistics - for papers 
discussing any aspect of the interaction between minority cultures, 
national identity discourses, and their international contexts in any 
period of German, Austrian or Swiss history. Contributions could, for 
example, address the following themes:

"	cross-cultural experience and its impact on domestic culture and identity 
(in any particular period or across the centuries);
"	minority culture, cross-cultural experience and their international 
contexts in the development of the German language and its variants;
"	critiques of national and cultural identity in German critical theory and 
philosophy;
"	interactions between the regional, the national and the international in 
German, Austrian and Swiss history and culture;
"	minority cultures, transnational experience and the rise of German 
national identity in the 19th century;
"	diasporic literatures and cultures in the German speaking world 
(German-Turkish, Oriental, East European, African, etc.), their national 
and transnational implications;
"	legacies of colonialism and aspects of postcolonialism in German 
literature, film and culture;
"	globalisation and its impact on the culture of the German speaking 
countries;
"	German cross-cultural and postcolonial discourses and their relationship 
to relevant discourses in Anglophone, Francophone etc. culture and theory.

These are, however, only indications of the range of contributions to the 
lead strand at Nottingham in 2008; relevant proposals in other areas will 
be welcome.

Literary and Cultural Theory
Convener: Steve Giles (Nottingham) [log in to unmask]
Papers are invited on any and all topics that fall within the remit of 
Critical Theory, broadly conceived: aesthetics, cultural theory, social and 
political theory, literary theory, and burning methodological issues, 
including applications of theory to specific texts, corpuses, materials.

History and Remembrance
Convener: Anna Saunders (Bangor) [log in to unmask]
This panel will focus on the mobilisation of history and practices of 
remembrance for the purposes of identity construction. Papers could address 
issues such as Erinnerungspolitik and processes of memorialisation and 
musealisation, the reappraisal of historical narratives for political and 
ideological purposes, questions of ownership and history, or the 
preservation of collective memory through national traditions, rituals and 
anniversaries.

Linguistics
Convener: Nils Langer (Bristol) [log in to unmask]
This panel invites papers on any aspect of German and Germanic linguistics. 
In particular we welcome papers on systemic and sociolinguistics as well as 
the interface between linguistic analysis and practical language teaching. 
Papers which contain a comparative element are keenly encouraged.

Gender and German Studies
Convener: Lyn Marven (Liverpool) [log in to unmask]
This panel focuses on literary and filmic representations of gender; 
theoretical and fictional constructions of masculinity / femininity (and 
anything in between / beyond); and ways of approaching texts/films which 
take account of gender (of author / characters / reader/viewer). Proposals 
are welcome for papers dealing with any period from the Medieval to the 
21st century.

Medieval Studies
Convener: Sabine Rolle (Edinburgh) [log in to unmask]
The exact format of this panel on 'Germanistische Mediävistik' is open to 
discussion, but it could be used to either present research and/or to 
discuss the current situation of medieval German studies at British 
universities: approaches, tools, aims and objectives. Proposals are welcome 
for papers on any aspect of medieval German studies or the reception of the 
German Middle Ages in later periods, and, as usual, contributions by 
postgraduate students will be particularly welcome.


Early Modern Period
Contact Peter Davies ([log in to unmask])
The CUTG encourages members with an interest in the Early Modern Period to 
volunteer to convene this panel, or to offer papers to the 71st meeting on 
any aspect of Early Modern literature, culture, thought or the visual arts.

Eighteenth-Century Studies
Convenor: Dan Wilson (Royal Holloway) [log in to unmask]
Papers are invited on any aspect of the culture of German-speaking 
countries in the nineteenth century, including literature, theatre, visual 
culture and thought.

Nineteenth-Century Studies
Convener: Eleoma Joshua (Edinburgh) [log in to unmask]
Papers are invited on any aspect of the culture of German-speaking 
countries in the nineteenth century, including literature, theatre, visual 
culture and thought.

Twentieth-Century and Contemporary Studies
Convener: Debbie Pinfold (Bristol) [log in to unmask]
Papers are invited on any aspect of twentieth-century and contemporary 
German cultural studies. Appropriate subjects for this panel include 
literary, film and media studies (including work on the intersection 
between media), cultural history, and area studies. We would particularly 
welcome papers demonstrating innovative theoretical, methodological, and 
interdisciplinary approaches.
