German Studies: New Perspectives

abstract painting

Chairs: Peter Burgard, John Hamilton

Through a comparative study of German conceptions of the Kulturwissenschaften and American versions of “German studies,” the seminar aims to initiate a new phase in the debate on the function and scope of interdisciplinary approaches to the field. Speakers will be invited to reflect on the implicit and explicit methods they use to make fresh discoveries or to shed new light on more familiar questions.
