The correct volume number should be #92, not #83 and the date should be Fall 2003. Women in German Mission Statement of the Coalition of Women in German Women in German (WiG) provides a democratic forum for all people interested in feminist approaches to German literature and culture or in the intersection of gender with other categories of analysis such as sexuality, class, race, and ethnicity. Through its annual conference, panels at national professional meetings, and through the publication of the Women in German Yearbook, the organization promotes feminist scholarship of outstanding quality. Women in German is committed to making school and college curricula inclusive and seeks to create bridges, cross boundaries, nurture aspirations, and challenge assumptions while exercising critical self– awareness. Women in German is dedicated to eradicating discrimination in the classroom and in the teaching profession at all levels. Note from the Editors You may wonder why you are receiving this issue of the WiG Newsletter in electronic form. WiG is a member-funded organization that relies on your dues and contributions to present an annual conference, publish the WiG Yearbook and the Newsletter, and support feminist teaching and scholarship. Electronic publishing of the Newsletter will save WiG money in printing and postage, and will enable us to apply these funds to the areas above. We will be sending you electronic Newsletters in the fall and the spring, but will continue to mail a printed version of the summer Newsletter that includes conference registration information. We hope that by taking advantage of technologies that are now widely available, we will be able to make better use of WiG’s precious resources. WiG Bulletins Make a Donation to the WiG Zantop Challenge Fund! Women in German has been approached by a private non-profit foundation with a chance to earn a matching grant in the amount of $10,000.00 for funding the Zantop Travel Prize. The organization would be required to match this amount by donations within a certain deadline, probably two years. This fund of circa $20,000.00 would become the beginning of an endowment for the Prize. The foundation wishes to remain anonymous. 2 This is an exciting development and opportunity for our organization. It would allow us to give the Travel Prize on a recurring basis and to ensure its continuance in the future. It will be a great development tool for Women in German, because this matching opportunity will show our fiscal responsibility to other donors. It will be a bonus for all graduate students working in feminist German studies to have this Travel Prize as an endowed grant. The Zantop Challenge Grant now stands at $4,200.00. We are more than one year into the Challenge, and we want to make sure that we take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to fund our feminist students far into the future. Please consider making a substantial donation this tax year as well as the next. Jeannine Blackwell, WiG President Sabine Scholl Guest for 2004 WiG Conference The Austrian author Sabine Scholl will be Women in German’s guest of honor at the 2004 WiG conference. Sabine Scholl has published two novels, Haut an Haut (1993) and Die geheimen Aufzeichnungen Marinas (2000) and is working on two others, Phantome and Wem gehört dieser Garten? She has also published two collections of stories Fette Rosen (1991) and Alle ihre Körper (1996) and several essay volumes, including Wie komme ich dazu? (1994) and Die Welt als Ausland (1999). She studied Germanistik and Theaterwissenschaft, receiving her doctorate from the University of Vienna in 1987 with a dissertation on Unica Zürn. She has taught at the Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal; Loyola University in Chicago; and the University of Nagoya, Japan. The literary scholar Jeanne Benay observes of Sabine Scholl’s writing: „Im Zentrum von Sabine Scholls Schreiben – sowohl des explizit literarischen als auch des poetologischen – steht die Frage nach dem Spannungsverhältnis von Fremdheit und Identität.” Benay describes Sabine Scholl’s writing as informed by a Poetik der ‚Mestiza’. At the WiG conference a panel on “Transnational Feminism/s: Reading North with South” will address some of the issues raised in Sabine Scholl’s work. WiG is grateful that the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York has agreed to fund Sabine Scholl’s travel to the WiG conference and to other sites where she is holding readings. If 3 Women in German your institution would be interested in hosting a reading by Sabine Scholl, please contact Sara Lennox, [email protected]. Search: New Coeditor for Women in German Yearbook Once again we announce a search for a new coeditor of the WiG Yearbook. Ruth-Ellen Joeres, who will complete her first three-year term during the summer of 2004, has announced that she will not seek a second term. Ruth-Ellen’s editorship has been informed by the unusual depth and breadth of knowledge and experience that she brings to every task she takes on. Her vision, creativity, and soundness of judgment will be sorely missed. We all thank her for her work as coeditor and wish her all the best. To help ease the transition, Ruth-Ellen has agreed to serve on the search committee appointed by the WiG Editorial Board to find a new coeditor. The other members of the search committee are: Jeanette Clausen (chair), Sara Friedrichsmeyer (Cincinnati), and Pat Herminghouse (Rochester, emerita). statement from your department chair or dean confirming institutional support. Please send materials by March 1, 2004 to the Search Committee chair: Jeanette Clausen Office of Academic Affairs, Kettler 174 Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne, IN 46805-1499 Call for Nominations, President Elect of WiG At the 1999 WiG conference, a vote was taken to adopt a new organizational structure for WiG. One person, the President has responsibility for serving as contact person, for informing the steering committee members and others of their responsibilities, and for providing some leadership for the organization. The roles of the president and other WiG officers will be further defined in a constitution and bylaws, which remain to be written. It was further agreed that we implement the above on a trial basis and assess how well it is working in four years. The new coeditor will serve a three-year term, working with Marjorie Gelus, who is beginning her second year with the WiG Yearbook. The threeyear term as coeditor is renewable once. Coeditors share responsibilities and work collaboratively in close contact with each other. Each coeditor must secure institutional or departmental support to underwrite the costs of telephone, copying, fax, and postage. Some adjustment of the coeditor’s teaching load, or/and funding for a graduate or undergraduate assistant, is also desirable. The president will serve a two-year term, and will be succeeded by the president-elect, who will just have completed a two-year term as president-elect. This system will be implemented in stages, as follows: Over the years, discussions of the editorship have consistently stressed the advantages of having both coeditors tenured. The substantial time commitment can place undue pressure on an untenured faculty member just when her own publication is of utmost importance. Tenured applicants are also likely to have had greater experience and wider professional contacts. It is desirable as well for both coeditors to hold the rank of full professor. The implementation in effect requires that the first president serve a four-year term as president, while succeeding presidents will serve two years as president-elect and two years as president, for a total of four. Jeannine Blackwell is the President of WiG from 2000-2004. Jeanette Clausen is the PresidentElect of WiG and will become President in October 2004, at which point Jeannine Blackwell will step down and a new President-Elect will replace Jeanette Clausen. If you wish to apply, please send a letter citing your experience and qualifications, a statement of your vision of what the WiG Yearbook is/should be, and what you hope to contribute to the editorship. Your letter should be accompanied by a CV and a THEREFORE, we hereby issue a CALL FOR NOMINATIONS. Please send nominations to Michelle James at the address below, no later than January 30, 2004. After confirming that the nominees are willing to serve if elected, the • • 1999-2000 elect a president, whose term begins at the October 2000 WiG conference 2001-2002 elect a president-elect, whose term begins at the October 2002 conference, and who will become President in October 2004. Women in German nominating committee will collect “campaign statements” and publish a ballot. The ballot will be conducted by snail mail; it will be sent out no later than February 27, with votes due by March 26, and results announced before the end of April on the website, and in the spring Newsletter.

The WiG conference moves every three years to highlight a different part of the country, and conference sites often book a year in advance. Our last year in Kentucky will be 2005. If you are interested in hosting the WiG conference, now is the time to start investigating possibilities. Conferences require volunteers, and it is therefore very helpful to be able to access a number of WiG members clustered in one area; past conference organizers have also found institutional support to be a big plus. WiG has historically attempted to rotate geographical areas for the conference. Recent conferences have been on the west coast and the midwest, which means that, ideally, interest in hosting the next conference would come from a group on the east coast or in the south. Please contact Jeannine Blackwell ([email protected]) if you are interested in possibly hosting the next WiG Conference! 4 Women in German Dissertation Prize The Award Every year Women in German publishes a call for dissertations by WIG members to be considered for the Women in German Memorial Fund Prize of $500.00. The recipient is announced and recognized at an award ceremony at the annual WiG conference in the fall. The most recent winner was Wendy C. Nielsen in 2002, for her dissertation completed in 2001. Who is Eligible? Last year, no dissertations were submitted for consideration—presumably as a result of insufficient publicity. Therefore, this year we invite submission of dissertations by WiG members filed during the two-year period beginning January 1, 2002 and ending December 31, 2003. Two awards of $500.00 each will be conferred at the 2004 WiG conference. Dissertations should reflect the values of the Women in German Mission Statement (see copy at the beginning of this Newsletter). For information on how to join WiG, visit our home page: http://www.womeningerman.org. Criteria for Selection We are looking for dissertations that: • reflect the values of the Women in German Mission Statement; • make a substantial contribution to the current dialogue in the given area; • demonstrate solid and innovative scholarship. How to Apply You may either apply yourself, or be nominated. The application package must include: • • • a cover letter (either by the author or by a nominator) describing the strengths of the dissertation and any other reasons why it deserves consideration for the award; three copies of the dissertation, each with an abstract; the applicant’s mailing and email addresses and phone numbers.

The award will provide partial support ($500 maximum) for research travel by WiG graduate students. Eligibility: Graduate students who have not yet completed the Ph.D. Applicants must be WiG members with a project approved by a faculty advisor for research on a topic in feminist cultural studies that requires travel to consult specific archives, libraries, cultural centers, or authors. The primary criteria are the proposed project’s potential to contribute to the field of feminist cultural studies and its significance for the applicant’s scholarly development. In a statement of no more than three pages, applicants should articulate their research question(s), explain why travel to the specified site(s) is necessary, and describe their qualifications for successful completion of the research. A one-page budget statement listing the projected cost of travel to the site, the amount of the travel cost requested from WiG, and support anticipated from other sources must be provided. A letter of support from a faculty advisor addressing the applicant’s qualifications is also requested.

The editors are interested in feminist approaches to all aspects of German literary, cultural, and language studies, including pedagogy, as well as topics that involve the study of gender in different contexts: for example, work on colonialism and postcolonial theory, performance and performance theory, film and film theory, or on the contemporary cultural and political scene in Germanspeaking countries. The deadline for receipt of manuscripts is January 15, 2004; early submission is strongly encouraged. Please prepare your manuscript for anonymous review. The editors prefer that manuscripts not exceed 25 pages (typed, doublespaced), including notes. Please follow the sixth edition (2003) of the MLA Handbook (separate notes from works cited). While the Yearbook accepts manuscripts for anonymous review in either English or German, binding commitment to publish will be contingent on submission of a final manuscript in English.

In popular culture, the representation of queerness has seemingly caught up to some degree with the reality of sexual diversity that we have long since accepted and celebrated as academics. The growing perception, both in academia and more generally, is that with growing media visibility, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is no longer a problem. Nevertheless, with the continued targeting of queers by the religious Right, as well as recent attempts at homophobic legislation at the governmental level, the fight for true acceptance is far from over. For LGBT members of WiG, these political realities have far-reaching effects, informing everything from major career decisions, to how one conducts onesself in the classroom on a given day, right down to hairstyle and clothing choices. For this session, presentations are sought that address questions such as the following: • Especially in the case of longtime WiG members, what is your “historical” perspective on being out either as a WiG member or in academia in general? • What does the future hold for out academics? Is the situation changing positively or negatively in today’s political climate? 6 • • • • Are you out on your CV? Why or why not How has being out positively or negatively affected your job prospects and/or major career decisions? How does it affect your daily reality? To come out to students or not? How and why? Or why not? What are some other experiences of “outness”? Has it ever been an issue for you to come out as straight, bisexual, Jewish, etc.? Please send an abstract of approximately 250 words by March 15, 2004 electronically to both organizers: Elizabeth Bridges E-Mail: [email protected] and Vibs Petersen E-Mail: [email protected] Poster Session: Open Topic The organizers of the WiG Poster Session welcome proposals for the 2004 WiG conference. The poster session gives researchers the opportunity to conceptualize their current research, teaching or academic life in visual form. A poster presentation traditionally consists of 1 or 2 poster board sized displays incorporating pictures and texts. However, we are interested in redefining the “poster” by including other media. We especially welcome proposals in the category of 3-D art, interactive exhibits, and multimedia presentations. Posters from past sessions have dealt with such topics as teaching, literature, film, cultural studies, history, and balancing career and family. “Posters” have taken the shape of PowerPoint presentations, websites, dioramas, sculpture, and of course cardboard. Many universities support the production of posters as a way of publicizing research. You may want to find out what your institution offers in terms of audiovisual support. Proposals should include a brief abstract describing the project and a detailed description of the poster’s layout, design, and materials. Show us all how creative you really are! Promote your new book! Get feedback on your newest, brilliant research idea! What did you do in 7 Women in German class that worked so well?

We envision papers that will speak to some of the following questions. “Methodologies: Literary, Cultural, and Other” This panel seeks to expand and shift last year’s exploration of interdisciplinarity by reflecting on the methodologies we have been using – and could/should/would like to use in the future. What method(ologie)s – from close reading techniques and post/structuralism to “cultural studies” and beyond – have been shaping the study of “things German” in the last decades? Where is our “discipline” going in this regard? Which ways of looking at texts and/or cultural artefacts are crucial for our – feminist, queer, anti-racial – scholarly endeavours? What, if anything, constitutes our “disciplinarity”? Where do we connect with, and disconnect from other disciplines? What is methodologically innovative scholarship in our field? Possible areas of investigation include: • In what ways can the study of history and the study of things past • • • • expand the parameters of feminist and/or queer scholarship today? help shape the future of feminist and/or queer scholarship as a political project? uncover some of the blind spots within feminist and/or queer theory and practice? help us reach a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics of gender, sex, race, ethnicity and class? We welcome BOTH proposals that theorize these questions AND proposals that demonstrate practically (for example by means of textual analysis) how the exploration of pre-20th-century issues contributes to feminist and/or queer knowledge production today. Please send 1-2-page abstracts by e-mail to each of the panel organizers by March 15, 2004: Katharina Altpeter-Jones E-Mail: [email protected] and Jennifer Askey E-Mail: [email protected] • the “literature – culture” issue: Where do we situate ourselves in the debate over “literary analysis vs. cultural studies”? To which degree does the study of, e.g., films and novels require different forms of expertise? How important are the differences between individual media for our analyses, and how important are the overlaps? How do we, in our projects and careers, productively navigate the vast terrain opened up by cultural studies? The “texts vs. facts”-divide: Is the gap between literature and sociology or biology more unbridgeable than that between, e.g., literature and theatre studies? Where do we connect to/draw on methodologies associated with the (social and other) sciences? What significance, if any, do issues of referentiality/links between texts and experiences or histories have in our work? How do we negotiate issues of referentiality and representation? And, vice versa: To what degree do the sciences pick up on paradigms of representation, or, more generally, the method(ologie)s of literary and cultural studies? How significant will the “facts vs. texts”-divide be in 21st century academia? Please send one-to-two page abstracts by March 15, 2004 to all three organizers: Claudia Breger E-Mail: [email protected] and Ulrike Brisson Women in German E-Mail: [email protected] and Monika Moyrer E-Mail: [email protected] Please note: This is the web-based panel. Completed papers will be due August 31, 2004. “Methodologically” diverse forms of presentation are encouraged. “Transnational Feminism/s: Reading North with South” Now well established socially, culturally and politically, European and US feminisms have remained implicitly delimited by a metaphorical and physical North-South axis. At the same time, these “mainstreamed” feminisms have limited impact within their own hemisphere. This panel invites work that speaks to the potential of “transnational feminism/s” for creating change globally and locally, particularly from a feminist Germanist perspective. What might such transnational critical practices look like in German Studies? To what extent can transnational work in or outside of institutional frameworks enable new modes of analysis and potential for change? What forms do and might such work take? [For instance, in how far are “third world” theories and practices useful for rethinking “first world” concerns? Should feminists strive for alliances based on difference rather than identity in order to link global with local concerns most effectively? Might the recent political climate offer feminists renewed possibilities for alliances based on commonalities?] We welcome both theoretical approaches and analyses of specific instances, phenomena, or texts that raise “transnational” questions.

Papers that engage in cross-cultural, trans-historiccal and/or interdisciplinary perspectives are especially welcome. Please send 1-2 page proposals by March 15, 2004 to both organizers via e-mail: Richard Langston E-Mail: [email protected] and Amy Young E-Mail: [email protected] Modern Language Association 2004— Philadephia, PA “Austrian Feminist Writers” Session sponsored by the Coalition of Women in German We invite 20-minute papers dealing with Austrian authors, writing both fiction and nonfiction, who show a strong commitment to feminist issues. Papers might address, for example, issues such as feminist aesthetics, socio-political and historical questions, along with others. Although we are open to a wide range of topics, preference will be given to papers which focus on the 20th and 21st centures.

Sexual violence is frequently used as a metaphor for East-Westrelationships; the relationship between Germans and Jews is often explored through German-Jewish romances; hyper-masculinity is a feature of some German-Turkish texts; and the New Berlin is described as a gendered geography. This panel seeks contributions that question and analyze these and other cultural constructions of gender and sexuality in literature and film of the last decade. Papers should reflect on the critical potential of feminist theory in responding to what are in many ways postfeminist texts.

We particularly welcome papers that challenge us to rethink the relationship between the two and move beyond conventional paradigms. Please send abstracts of approx. 300 words in the body of an e-mail (no attachments) by January 15, 2004 to both organizers: Sara Eigen Vanderbilt Unversity E-Mail:[email protected] and Angelika Fenner University of Toronto E-Mail: [email protected] AATG 2005—Baltimore, MD “(Re)imagining the GDR” Session sponsored by the Coalition of Women in German More than a decade following unification, the GDR remains a vital presence in the German imaginary. The recent wave of “Ostalgie” TV shows is simply the latest manifestation of this phenomenon; before unification the GDR already served as a projection screen for multiple utopian and dystopian visions in both East and West. We welcome proposals for papers that explore representations of the GDR both before and after 1989, in popular culture, film and literature. We are particularly interested in--but do not limit ourselves to--approaches that question the persistent binaries that have circumscribed discourse on the GDR, such as those expressed in gendered terms. Please submit 1-2 page abstracts electronically to all three organizers by April 15, 2004: Laura McGee Western Kentucky University E-Mail: [email protected] and Liz Mittman Michigan State University E-Mail: [email protected] and Susanne Rinner Allegheny College E-Mail: [email protected] Other Calls for Papers Bachmann Conference It is intended to hold a conference on current research on Ingeborg Bachmann’s work in Trinity College Dublin from 30th April to 1st May 2004. While the initial impetus for the conference is the 30th anniversary of Bachmann’s death this month, the focus of the event will be forwardlooking, addressing the question: what are likely to emerge in the coming years as areas of research interest? It has been apparent at least since the publication of the Todesarten edition in 1995 and Sigrid Weigel’s monograph in 1999 that research on Bachmann is only beginning to address many aspects of her writing. It is only in recent years that Women in German theoretical, philosophical and historiographical issues which are central in her work are starting to attract the attention they deserve. It is these very contemporary issues to do with narratology, performativity, memory, trauma, reference, correspondence, intertextuality, to do with poststructuralism and feminism, to do with Derrida and Heidegger, Bloch and Benjamin... that we envisage will be addressed and taken forward by the conference. But that is to assume that we know what is on the way, and we look forward to receiving proposals from other areas of current research. The organisers are looking at the possibility of bringing some members of the Vienna-based theatre group Projekt Theater Studio who have successfully staged a montage based on Bachmann’s poetry to Dublin for the conference.

Woman and the Nation: German Women’s Writing of the18th and 19th Centuries May 21-23, 2004; University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana Mothering and Feminism 8th Annual Conference of the Association for Research on Mothering (ARM) October 22-24, 2004; York University, Toronto, Canada This conference will explore, from a variety of perspectives and disciplines, the intersections between mothering, motherhood and feminism. It will also examine developments in the field of maternal feminist scholarship, the experiences and perspectives of feminist mothers, and representations of mothering and feminism. We welcome submissions from students, activists, scholars, artists and others who work or research in this area. Crosscultural, historical and comparative work is encouraged. We encourage a variety of types of Proposals are requested for a conference on writings by German-speaking women of the 18th and 19th centuries. This year’s conference strives to investigate the relationship between women and the establishment of a German national state. We envision papers that analyze texts by German women which address the revolutionary, nationalist, colonial, and other ideals or ideologies of the 18th and 19th centuries. Papers might speak to the following questions: How did women respond in their public and private lives to contemporary political, social, and territorial events? How did they express their commitment to the future? How do women participate in revolutionary movements, colonial enterprises, or nation-building? What are the responses to the French and American revolutions 11 Women in German and influences? How does the Enlightenment project translate itself for women? How does the development of the „kleindeutsche Lösung” affect both German and Austrian texts/authors? Do these women identify themselves nationally, provincially, etc.? How are women’s progress and aspirations tied to the concept of national identity? Additional topics might include: Salon culture, the „good” German woman, „Deutsches” Theater, patriotic/historical drama, women’s political/historical writing, the female patriot, female utopias, women and the law, or Germania. Papers may focus on specific writers or works, or take a thematic approach. Please submit 12 page proposals in English or German by either email ([email protected]) or snail mail to Denise M.

First addressed as the so-called German Schuldfrage by Karl Jaspers immediately after the war (in his famous Heidelberg lecture), it has now reappeared in various forms in German life and letters. Vaterliteratur is the mushrooming literature of children who grew up in the Third Reich in the intimate shadow of the perpetrators. Witnesses, as they are near or past retirement, are now writing about their fathers to “set the record straight” and to contextualize their own lives. How is one to categorize and analyze these (auto)biographical texts? Papers are invited from memory studies, psychology, historiography, gender and cultural studies. Papers dealing with (auto-) biography, memory politics and the historiography of the Third Reich are especially welcome, as are surveys and reviews of current literary interpretations of memory texts. The proceedings of the conference are to be published (providing that the paper provides a wider audience a sense of this emerging field of study). The deadline for submission is December 15, 2003.

Whether it is the nineteenth-century “Orient” somewhere in the modern Near East or the distant islands of Japan in the Far East, the vast expanse of Russia or the immigrants living next door, the East can be found at once everywhere and nowhere specifically. The graduate students of the Department of German at the University of California at Berkeley invite scholars from across the disciplines to submit proposals that both attempt to define and explode the concept of East-West discourse. Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to: • • • • The Orient, Geographic or Cultural Construct?

How Interdisciplinary Do We Want to Be?” Organized by: Sara Lennox (University of Massachusetts Amherst), Claudia Breger (Indiana University), and Bethany Wiggin (University of Pennsylvania) “I Can Only Think in Fragments About This Thing” Ruth-Ellen B. Joeres, University of Minnesota The oddness of this paper’s title indicates the confusion I am feeling despite, or perhaps because of, the many years of experience I have had in the pursuit of interdisciplinarity. Much of the paper emphasizes aspects of interdisciplinarity: its communal aspects; the disparate nature of German Studies itself; the need to guard against the trendiness of interdisciplinarity; the importance of the two-way street, i.e., the moves in interdisciplinary work being made not only toward the social and natural sciences etc., but also toward the humanities; and the paramount importance of experience in assembling a concept of interdiscipinarity for ourselves. The latter section of the presentation stresses the importance of our own discipline and disciplinary training. In a move that may seem contradictory, given the rigid and limiting horizontal structure of disciplinarity, I find myself faced: with the dangers of superficiality inherent in interdisciplinarity; the frequent erasure of the humanities within interdisciplinary efforts; and the doubts that I still have about the ultimate results of such efforts, reminding myself of the compelling importance of the theories and methods that have emerged from our own field. What we have to offer as literary and cultural critics is considerable, and we should not forget that. Women in German “There are Connections...or Contradictions...or Maybe a Paradox? A Presentation About Interdisciplinary Dissertation Research From the Perspective of a ‘Fashion Victim’ “ Maria Stehle, University of Massachusetts Amherst In my presentation, I show how the disciplinary crisis and the interdisciplinary chaos affects young scholars who are writing their dissertation and preparing to go “on the market.” I described a workday, starting with the work we do in our own homes, then moving to our departments, our universities, our discipline, and last but not least, to “the market.” The presentation is based on my own experience, conversations I have had with friends and other graduate students, and a survey about interdisciplinarity that I conducted through the Women in German mailing list. I conclude by returning to the question of politics, feminism, and interdisciplinarity, pointing out that this disciplinary crisis should be seen as an opportunity to foster change: our task as feminists is to “make the present emergency an active state of emergence” (Lisa Lowe, 1996). Friday Morning Session: “Feminist Perspectives on the Study of Things German: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue” Organized by: Angelika Bammer (Emory University), Brenda Bethman (Texas A&M University), and Gundolf Graml (University of Minnesota) Special Session sponsored by the DAAD Lora Wildenthal, Rice University This presentation described the changing goals and the “browsing”method of research that produced the speaker’s 2001 book, German Women for Empire, 1884-1945. A project that began as research on the mobilization of conservative women in the Kaiserreich ended up stressing that not all colonialist women were conservative, and that women’s and men’s debates over race and gender were integral to German history, not only colonial history. The strength of the “browsing” method was that the speaker gained a wide acquaintance with sources, which helped to contextualize her own subject matter; the weaknesses include flattening out of literary texts to make them serve certain functions in the historical narrative, and difficulty in naming clear criteria for inclusion of sources. Currently the speaker’s criterion for evaluating work across disciplines is: “What am I learning from this piece that is new, that surprises me?” She encourages Women in German 16 scholars to pose questions to which they do not more or less know the answers already. Relatively little work has been done as yet on women, gender and race in the context of formal German empire. Friday Morning Session: “Amazons and Other Oddities” Organized by: Marjorie Gelus (California State University, Sacramento) and Nicole Grewling (University of Minnesota) Dissidente Partizipation? Sabine Hark, Potsdam University “Cross-Dressing and Cross-Gendering in Thon’s Adelheit von Rastenberg” Bernadette H. Hyner, Washington State University I’m currently working on a critical genealogy of academic feminism in Germany, entitled „Dissidente Partizipation. Soziologie einer umstrittenen Wissensformation”. As the title „Dissidente Partizipation” suggests, I chose the figure of paradox as the organizing principle for my general argument. „Dissidente Partizipation” circumscribes the paradox that we can’t do without institutions for they are necessary in order to put ideas into practice, that is produce, sustain, and disseminate knowledge. In short: participation is the prerequisite for dissent. Yet, as sociologically speaking, the function of institutions is to limit possibilities (of action, of meaning), institutions do have significant impact on the kind of knowledge we are able to produce and reproduce. Again, in short: participation implies formation through the institution. One way to understand theses processes of formation through the institution is to analyse accounts of the genealogy of feminist theory. From a sociologicial point of view I’m interested in what can be called the social effectiveness of texts. In other words: How do they organize the field of feminist knowledge, what kind of social relations do they produce? Thus, I understand texts as social activity that intervenes and produces constellations and contexts. As such texts have to be understood as material condition for they regulate what can be said and what not, what we acknowledge as our history (of theory) and what not. They organize what we claim as legitimate history, which names and approaches we accept as representative of feminist theory and in which directions feminist theory should develop in the future. While texts such as Die Leiden des jungen Werther (1774) celebrate the quest of bourgeois radicals to undermine convention and reinvent the self, Eleonore Thon’s tragedy, Adelheit von Rastenberg (1788), directs attention to a female innovator, who despite her potential to bring about change, remains on the margins. Through the multifaceted, cross- dressing character of Franziska, Thon points to the misogynist nature of the Storm and Stress “Geniebewegung” that, while claiming to embrace change, continued to relegate women to the margins. A close examination of Franziska’s status in the play reveals that this extraordinary character endures a multitude of exiles: she is a foreigner separated from her homeland, resides in isolation, and cross-dresses while living under an assumed identity. In contrast to her male counterparts, she is levelheaded and, unlike Thon’s other female characters, has accumulated experiences while living on her own. In these respects, Franziska redefines gender roles, and by speaking up, even shows potential to elicit change. Yet her position in the play remains fixed. In comparison, Thon’s male characters envision and employ intimidation and bloodshed as the means for change. Adelheit von Rastenberg’s conclusion emphasizes that the misogynist conduct of the play’s “Stürmer und Dränger” leads not only to the demise of its female characters, but also maintains the status quo against all expectations. In the broader sense, Thon’s drama depicts the quest of the “Geniebewegung” as a continuation of rather than a rebellion against conventional ideas of the Enlightenment. Most significantly however, the text suggests that the impetus for social and political transformation may come from the margins rather than the center. “Tyran Sieman in 16th Century Texts and Images” Katharina Altpeter-Jones, Lewis & Clark College “Tyran Sieman”—the married woman who assumes more power than she is entitled to —is one of the most popular female oddities in German texts of the mid to late 16th century. In many respects, the 17 Women in German she- man’s transgressions resemble the acts of misbehavior and subversion ascribed to women in the medieval literary tradition: the she-man transgresses by speaking without permission, by leaving the domestic sphere without authorization, and by equipping herself with accoutrements of power and influence—a purse with money, for example, and the keys to the household’s storage rooms. However, in contrast to the medieval literary tradition where an unruly woman challenges only husbands and fathers, the early modern she-man is a socially and culturally disruptive force that respects neither class nor geographical boundaries: she-man rules at home and in public, invades the dwellings of the pauper and the nobleman, conquers foreign lands and disrupts the operation of civic institutions. Also new in the 16th century is that the subversion of social norms by a woman is conceived explicitly as an act of gender transgression. The paper argues that at a time when religious orthodoxy is challenged by the Protestant Reformation, when formerly stable social orders disintegrate with increased upward and downward social mobility, and when cultural supremacy is contested by the discovery of new lands and cultures—the category of gender becomes increasingly important as a signifier of exclusion and inclusion and as a potential guarantor of order in an ever more volatile social formation. “Penthesilea: Unstageable Amazons Performance of Female Sexuality” Wendy Arons, University of Notre Dame and the Heinrich von Kleist’s play Penthesilea is considered to be the most “unstageable” of his plays, all of which are very difficult to stage. In fact, during the 19th, century there was only one actress who assumed the role of Penthesilea– Clara Ziegler– and her interpretation of the role was never in a production which presented Kleist’s original script. The adaptation she used not only shortened the play but also significantly toned down its sensuality. As a result, Kleist’s provocative scripting of female desire and sexuality in its “natural state” was tamed for its 19th century audience in performance. Examinations of images of Ziegler in the role, and of reviews of her performance, buttress this claim: in contrast to other pre-20th century depictions of the Amazon, Ziegler avoids any hint of androgyny in the character and instead both draws on conventions of femininity in her costuming and de-eroticizes the role in her portrayal. I hypothesize that Ziegler’s interpretation of the role seems to want to reassure her audience of the stability of two genders and put the threat of androgyny raised by Kleist’s play at bay; it represents a policing of the gender borders in response to the play’s androgynous and threatening blend of gender roles. Friday Afternoon Session: “Queer/Feminist Encounters” Organized by: Dinah Dodds (Lewis and Clark College) “Theorizing Femininities@2003” Claudia Breger, Indiana University This paper begins with the concern that the initially marginalized study of masculinities - both queer and straight, male and female - by now occupies a hegemonic position in gender and queer studies, and that this phenomenon seems to be part of a larger cultural trend towards “new masculinities”. Without advocating a return to gender studies without masculinities, I suggest that we also pursue the question of whether - and how - we can theorize femininities, especially queer femininities, in new ways. Could we productively rewrite earlier feminist accounts of femininity by crossing them with recent paradigms in queer and masculinity studies? Focusing on two basic issues, I suggested that a) we theorize femininities in analogy to masculinity studies with regard to the complex interactions between marginalized and hegemonic positionalities, and b) we rethink the complicated issue of performance with regard to the respective asymmetry between masculinities - traditionally seen as untheatrical - and femininities -traditionally associated with theatricality. The second part of the paper pursues these ideas in a reading of Antje Ravic Strubel’s novel Unter Schnee (1998). As I suggest, the text endows “untheatrical” lesbian femininities with social authority, and, at the same time, critically analyzes this authoritative position in a complex account of social hegemony and marginalization. Women in German 18 Friday Afternoon Session. Pedagogy Workshops: “Teaching for Change: Challenging Discrimination in the Classroom” Organized by: Liesl Allingham (Indiana University); Jeanette Clausen (Indiana University/Purdue University Fort Wayne), and Marion Gerlind (University of Minnesota) creating GLBT-inclusive language classrooms, this workshop explores the ways in which instructors can utilize everyday language, activities and other materials, in addition to existing German textbooks, in order to make a more tolerant, affirming (and fun!) environment for all students in the classroom. “Teaching Cultural Differences in Deutsch im Alltag.” Ulrike Brisson, Alexandra Merley, and Rachael Salyer, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Michael Hager, University of Toronto Friday Evening Session: “Poster Session” Organized by: Denise Mae DellaRossa (University of Notre Dame), Rachel Freudenburg (Boston College), and Lynn Kutch (Lehigh University) In this workshop Michael Hager, Ulrike Brisson, and Rachael Salyer presented Deutsch im Alltag as an innovative textbook which teaches crosscultural awareness to college students of beginning German (1st and 2nd semester). In times of globalization, learners’ knowledge of other cultures is of essence. Whereas traditional textbooks tend to cover topics such as “food,” “family,” and “festivities”, Deutsch im Alltag offers instructors information about the belief systems and underlying values which shape practices in other cultures. This unique textbook has a story line with a protagonist: an American student who travels to Germany, Switzerland and Austria during his summer break. Each chapter represents a station of the student’s tripFreiburg, Zürich, Innsbruck, Berlin-to name a few. Inter-cultural activities (Multi-Kulti Aktivitäten) and cultural aspects (Kultur-Aspekte) emphasize and integrate culture as part of language learning. These activities function as awareness builders towards attitudes and behaviors in different cultures. Deutsch im Alltag is a textbook that not only provides learning materials for language proficiency, but also for inter- and intra-cultural competence. The authors believe that knowledge of foreign languages and other cultures is a must for future global citizens and for increasing participation in a cyberworld. “Challenging the Heterosexist Bias in German Language Textbooks” Elizabeth Bridges and Corinna Kahnke, Indiana University The probability of having one or more GLBT students in a class is very high, and the exclusively heterosexual relationships represented in current textbooks- and often reinforced in classroom interaction- could alienate these students and ultimately hinder their learning process. Operating from an “everyday,” non-confrontational approach to “Undoing German Genealogies: Recent Novels by Kathrin Schmidt and Marcel Beyer” Friederike Eigler, Georgetown University This poster displays and comments on the dust jackets of Die Gunnar-Lennefsen-Expedition by Kathrin Schmidt and Spione by Marcel Beyer, as a way of illustrating how each author reinvents the novel of family history. Beyer’s book, which rewrites 20th-century family history as a parody of the spy novel, makes visible on its cover the multiple meanings of spying (on the intra- and extratextual levels). In addition, the reverse of the dust jacket evokes a haunted family album containing both personal and public snapshots from the 1930s and 40s. Just like the novel, this dust jacket has a disorienting effect, since the photomontage hidden inside lacks any coherent narrative. By contrast, the cover design for Kathrin Schmidt’s novel erases any reference to the novel’s intriguing approach to re-membering and rewriting family history from a feminist and East German perspective. Instead, the book is marketed through a famous Renaissance painting of a female nude gazing into a mirror. This image, Rubens’s Venus, quite literally covers the text’s subversive intent; in other words, it conceals Schmidt’s foregrounding of female desire, her questioning of the fictional, yet powerful, notions of “racial” and ethnic “purity,” and her reconstruction of a feminist genealogy spanning the 20th century. 19 “Romy Schneider: The Professional Personal—Again.” Rachel Freudenburg, Boston College Women in German vs. the Romy Schneider, having arrived at one of the many low points in her varied love life, declared that while she could play anyone imaginable for the camera, she was unable to attain the same degree of success in her personal life. This poster presentation captures these two very different sides of Romy Schneider’s life, and in doing so, makes visible the conflict between the professional and the personal—a conflict that was central to the second feminist movement. Though Schneider distanced herself from the movement, it is helpful to read her biography in tandem with the work of feminists from the 1960s and 1970s, for the problems she grappled with, and ultimately succumbed to, were generated by the very structures liberated women were attacking. One poster displays Romy Schneider’s professional biography: her early fame as the Empress Elisabeth of Austria in the Sissi trilogy, followed by her success in France as an expert character actress specializing in the emotionally rich and nuanced portrayal of modern-day women. A second, more playful poster attempts to capture the vicissitudes of Romy Schneider’s personal life through the genre of the graphic novel. Here, a poster-sized comic strip dramatizes Romy’s difficult relationships with men—relationships in which she was routinely belittled and exploited. Schneider herself once called her private life a “zero” (“eine Null”). But one wonders: would her male costars, such as Alain Delon, have summed up a similar series of stormy affairs as “failures”? “`Was ich tun kann und will, um den Gästen den Aufenthalt in meiner Heimat schön zu gestalten’: Tourism and National Identity in an Austrian Essay Competition, 1950.” Gundolf Graml, University of Minnesota Complicating the usual critique of Austria’s role as a world renowned tourist destination, this poster presentation refutes the interpretation of tourism as the embodiment of the total commodification of history, culture, and social relations. Rather, by investigating what spaces the various “texts” of the discourse of tourism produce, the presentation introduces tourism as a displaced site where the space of the nation can be reconstructed. The presentation traces this process with examples from two periods of Austria’s recent history. Excerpts from a 1950s essay competition for students of all ages highlights the role of tourism as a realm in which an allegedly new and autonomous Austrian national identity could establish itself against the politically inopportune connection to Germany. Reproductions of posters and photos from an ethnographic observation of the contemporary Sound of Music tours in Salzburg form the second example, which foregrounds the contradictory perception of “real” and “simulated” spaces in tourist locations. Analyzing the attempt to construct a national identity by imitating the images of the film, the complex tourist spaces produced by the Sound of Music tours become placeholders for the inauthentic, thereby allowing other—equally touristy—places to assume the status of the real. As such they affirm the self-image of Austria as a safe, bounded, and organically composed national haven in a globalized world. “E-Marketing Mythologies of Commercial Sexuality: Havana Club, the Berlin ‘Kuba Welle’ and German Cultural Identity” Jennifer Ruth Hosek, University of California, Berkeley Nineties Germany saw an increased interest in the suddenly independent, still socialist Cuba-- a socalled Kuba Welle that manifested diversely. My poster treats the website of Havana Club rum, a joint venture between Pernod Ricard and the Cuban government, whose first post-1989 market was East Germany and particularly East Berlin. The website constructs a specific utopia, a socialist Cuba with few governmental controls, little commercialism and equitable distribution of adequate wealth, which overlays a more common tourist fantasy of egalitarianism between traveler and natives. This electronic, socialist fantasy encompasses a concomitant utopian discourse of sexual relations between tourist and natives that draws on common mythologies of Cuban sexual practices. Cuba is a popular German sex tourist destination and many sex tourists hold Cuba-specific fantasies about communicative, non-coercive relationships with Cuban sex workers. Prevailing discourses about these sex workers include the notion that Cubans engage in sex work for pleasure and economic enrichment, not out of economic need, a mythology that is perpetuated by the Cuban government itself. In “travel reports” ostensibly Women in German 20 written by sex tourists, Cuban sex workers are also described as freely choosing their paid liaisons. Such narratives efface the ways in which sex tourists from industrialized nations are implicated in sexual, ethnic, and economic domination. Havana Club rum marketing participates in and benefits from such mythologies. of an aesthetic Volksgemeinschaft that were crucial to the regime’s survival. “Examining the Complexity of National Socialist Discourses about Women” Yvonne Houy, Pomona College My poster focuses on Else Lasker-Schüler’s fifty-page, self-published pamphlet “Ich räume auf! Meine Anklage gegen meine Verleger” (1925). This unique text—part autobiography, part polemic— offers insight into the particularly precarious situation of the woman artist in Weimar society. It describes Lasker-Schüler’s own understanding of artistic genius, as well as the exploitation that she suffered at the hands of publishers who, like much of Weimar society, were concerned primarily with profit. Along with a description of the text itself, three sections of the poster—genius, gender, and politics and the literary market—thematize Else Lasker-Schüler’s ongoing resistance to social discourses of femininity and the material reality of a woman writer in Weimar Republic Berlin. In “Ich räume auf,” Lasker-Schüler calls on her fellow artists to rise up and band together to free themselves from the tyranny of the marketplace. In doing so, LaskerSchüler takes an explicitly political stance, one that belies her reputation as an “apolitical, timeless” author. Recent publications on National Socialism continue to assert that “National Socialism,” like a monolith, promoted only the German agrarian wife and mother as female ideal. In this poster I contribute to a growing body of research that suggests that diverse National Socialist institutions displayed more than this one specific type of woman as National Socialist female ideal. I projected slides of images from illustrated magazines such as Die Dame, die neue linie, and the NS Frauen-Warte onto a white poster with a text of my exploration and thesis so that images of modern and traditional looking women appeared like ghosts from the past to tell a different, more complex, narrative. I argue that the ideological state apparatus during National Socialism called on German women to support it by more subtle means than promoting an anachronistic female ideal. The very diversity of positive female ideals, both modern and traditional looking, by a wide array of National Socialist institutions made it appear as if National Socialism was improving the lives of rural and urban German women, with traditional and modern attitudes. The simultaneous existence of numerous discourses was politically advantageous for National Socialism: Representations of the harmonious coexistence of a wide array of female ideals created an image of a unified Volksgemeinschaft that had overcome the tensions and conflicts in the Weimar Republic. In order to attain and maintain power, the party had to be(come) attractive to a society still divided about desirability of the process of modernization and the experience of modernity. While both traditional and non-traditional discourses existed side by side, a wide array of discourse communities could find some aspects of National Socialism appealing. Thus, the very complexity of discourses about women generated by National Socialist institutions helped create seductive images “Genius, Gender, Politics, and the Marketplace in the Weimar Republic.

Nekromantik may be understood as an erotically charged fascination with death. I begin at the shift in gendered discourse surrounding death: while fin-desiècle images of the ‘schöne Leiche’ are almost invariably female, postwar literary and artistic corpses are almost exclusively male. This shift, I conclude, is indicative of an attempt to (re)construct a viable male identity in world that is profoundly unstable (postmodern) and haunted by anxieties stemming from the Holocaust. I use a crypt as the overall organizing structure. In, on, and outside the crypt are several elements—conceived as pieces of a funeral— representing core concepts from the dissertation. Two chapters (one on the lesbian vampire and one on monstrous postfemininity) are depicted as sarcophagi containing female corpses. In the center of the crypt, perched on an altar, a monitor broadcasts clips from Böttgereit’s films. Two voyeuristic peepholes (allowing glimpses onto male nudes) highlight masculine neuroses vis-à-vis death and sexual stimulation and Gunther von Hagens’s recent exibit “Körperwelten.” On the headstones in the cemetery surrounding the crypt, are the names of the deceased: ‘Kant,’ ‘Hegel,’ ‘Schiller,’ etc. Women in German Friday Evening Session: “Gender and Pop in Contemporary German Culture” Organized by: Hester Baer (University of Oklahoma), Veronika Fuechtner (Dartmouth College), and Amy Young (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) “Label Fetishism or Camp? Gender, Work and the Politics of Materialism in German Pop Literature” Richard Langston, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill This paper asserts that Christian Kracht’s Novel 1979 can be read as a notable exception to the dominant economy of gender in German pop literature that otherwise ascribes queerness to women, thereby leaving men heterosexual and unhampered by gender troubles. Taking seriously the author’s insistence that camp plays a role in the novel, the paper contends that 1979 reworks the historically gay male aesthetic camp into a means of protecting the material body against the onslaught of technologies of domination. Using George Curor’s 1939 film “The Women” as a useful template in understanding how camp’s excesses allow for a modicum of agency under prevailing conditions, the paper draws attention to how the novel traces the prerequisites for an efficacious camp. Unlike the protagonist, whose camp is complicitous and delusional, the camp of minor character Mavrocordato is bound to the performance of an indefinite series of momentary interventions. By bracketing out matters of identity and desire, 1979’s exclusively gay cast of characters suspends camp’s usual algebra. Women are not camp’s object of abjection and straight men are not the agents of narrative progress or closure. 1979’s body camp refrains from seeking an other- gendered other onto which to project its anxieties. “Screaming Girls, Distant Stars: The Pleasures and Pains of Fandom” Mareike Herrmann, The College of Wooster Throughout the 20th century, German reactions to female fans have been characterized by anxiety and moral panic. This is tied to the perceived threat of an Americanization and feminization of German culture resulting from the ‘infiltration’ of popular culture and consumerism into the public sphere. Using the gendered representation of fandom as pathological and transgressive in popular and scientific discourses, my paper investigates the fan engagements of contemporary German girls, based on the comments of girls in interviews I conducted in the late 1990s. Women in German For example, whereas one girl’s adrenalininduced excitement before a Backstreet Boys concert led her to uncommon extroverted behavior, another girl’s fear of appearing hysterical in public caused her to withdraw from such events. In their private fan activities, fans use the safety of their own rooms to develop their expertise, explore different identities, and connect with other fans. Many fans oscillate between worshiping stars and appropriating their styles, using stars both as distant, identificatory models and as mirrors of their own values.Fandom can act as a powerful escape from social and familial pressures for these girls, many of whom feel limited by their physical environment, a tight labor market, low class status, and religious and gender expectations. In the public sphere, however, fans’ hyper-feminine performances still clash with prevailing notions of proper feminine behavior. “Love Parade GmbH vs. Chicks on Speed: Building Walls or Breaking Boundaries?” Elizabeth Bridges, Indiana University Berlin’s Love Parade, the world-renowned dance party that in years past has attracted as many as a million or more celebrants, continues to pack the streets of the German capitol every summer. Although the event has often been officially registered with the city of Berlin as a political demonstration, unofficially the actual political motivation behind the event remains debatable. Political discourse within the subculture surrounding Love Parade has remained amorphous, advocating vague notions of “change” over the years, with slogans as unspecific and all- inclusive as the tone of the event itself (2002, “Access peace,” and 2003 “Love rules”). Less ambiguous, however, are the politics of a lesser- known, emerging generation of decidedly feminist German and German- based DJ projects such as Rhythm King and Her Friends, Peaches, Miss Kittin, and Chicks on Speed. These artists record, mix, and produce electronic dance music using methods such as looping and sampling, the same ones used by those who produce the techno of Love Parade, but as I argue, these artists utilize the potential for specifically feminist modes of expression inherent in this musical genre. 22 Saturday Morning Session: “Women in the Fortress Europe: Feminist Critiques of Globalization” Organized by: Katrin Sieg (Georgetown University); Jill Suzanne Smith (Union College), and Monika Moyrer, (University of Minnesota) “Franka Potente and the Discourse Globalization” Angelika Fenner, University of Toronto of This paper seeks to place two discrete but interrelated discourses, stardom and globalization, into dialogue with one another. As a point of entry into this discussion, I trace a genealogy of the term “Lola,” as it has evolved out of the historical figure, Lola Montez. I use the notion of mobility to tie together the phenomenon of globalization with the allure which the Lola Legend has held within German cinema history. I briefly touch upon different representations of discursive, material and spatial mobility through the various Lola films of the 20th century and assess in more depth the embodiment of mobility through Franka Potente’s rendering in Lola rennt. I further discuss the impact which Potente’s athletic performance has had on her casting in ensuing international co-productions. “Globalization, Post-Eurocentrism, and the Future of Feminist Literary Studies” Sara Lennox, University of Massachusetts Amherst This paper explores how new scholarly paradigms critical of European knowledges like those elaborated by postcolonial intellectuals might be applied to the study of Europe, and how feminists especially might make use of them to elaborate a post-Eurocentric perspective. I argue that we can no longer produce knowledge about Europe that does not situate Europe within its global context. As a consequence of the real economic, political, and cultural challenges to Eurocentrism issuing from non-Western areas of the world, we also must reconceptualize the nature of the modernity conceived to emanate from Europe and entertain the possibility that European-derived categories of modernity decreed to be universal may be merely expressions of a specific European particularism. We must further interrogate notions taken to be universally applicable, like those of the individual, the division between public and private, gender and sexuality, development and the formation of the nation-state and its citizen-subjects, and a linear conception of history culminating in the production of a modernity that takes the same forms everywhere. 23 Feminists who study Europe will want to look for traces of the global in the European cultural products they investigate, show how cultural production has contributed to the production of modernity, draw attention to heterogeneous voices of dissent and protest that have been occluded in dominant cultural narratives, read cultural texts as a place where suppressed elements have nonetheless been preserved, and insist that our own interpretations are always culturally and historically-specific. “Sexing Germany: Global Imaginations and Cultural Critique” Katrin Sieg, Georgetown University Germany constitutes a particularly rich theater for critical imagination of the global. The country’s historical experience of Nazism has produced a particular ideological sensitivity to the nightmarish combination of converging corporatepolitical power, media monopolies, ethnic intolerance and strife, and political repression, which scholars like David Harvey and Zygmunt Bauman characterize as the hallmarks of neoliberal globalization. In addition, the historical experience of socialism, as lived practice and as utopian ideology, continues to provide a repository of critical, collective memories, and a consciousness of political alternatives, sometimes in the form of nostalgia. The reservoir of historical memories of Nazism, together with socialism, and the overlaps and disjunctions between them, thus make Germany an especially dynamic site for analyzing the changing mechanisms through which western democracies imagine international relations and internal threats. I propose that antifascism and postsocialism are particularly apposite lenses through which to study and criticize global fantasies. That emphasis also distinguishes the perspectives of German Studies from the majority of Anglo-American theories of globalization, which historically link globalization with colonialism and imperialism. I find it important to retrieve a sense of the political alternatives generated by the tension between capitalism and democracy, and to identify alliances between political agents wherever they are located on the old map of metropolis and margin. Women in German Saturday Evening Session: “Interdisciplinarity Applied.” Panel and audience discussion of video, Writing Desire. Organized by: Angelika Bammer (Emory University), Brenda Bethman (Texas A&M University), and Gundolf Graml (University of Minnesota) Panelists: Lora Wildenthal (History), Rice University; Karen Till (Geography) University of Minnesota; Sabine Hark (Sociology/Sociology of Gender), Potsdam University. The purpose of the “Interdisciplinarity Applied” panel was to allow our three guests to demonstrate in practice how they--as a sociologist in the field of Gender Studies (Hark), a geographer (Till), and a historian (Wildenthal)--would approach the same material. The material we had selected was a short, experimental video-essay by the filmmaker Ursula Biemann (2000). The short opening comments by the guests immediately demonstrated what would, in the course of the ensuing discussion, become amply clear, namely that they/we both have certain disciplinary assumptions that undergird our approaches and emphases and, at the same time, that these disciplinary assumptions neither define nor demarcate our interpretive horizon. For example, Sabine Hark’s observation that the video reinstantiated, fairly uncritically, it appeared, heteronormative social relations, was informed by her interest in social relations as a sociologist and her attention to displays of heteronormativity as a scholar of Gender Studies. Similarly, Lora Wildenthal’s attention to the politics of race in the video’s representations and the strange combination of Russian women and South Pacific scenery could very well be attributed to her interest as a historian in the dynamics of race and gender in colonial, as well as postcolonial, contexts. On the other hand, all three guests were equally attentive to the representational and narrative choices of the video: its visual use of electronic media technologies, its play with voice and image tracks, its point of view shots, and the like. Indeed, in many ways, as a comment from the audience pointed out, in this respect, they were “reading” the film no differently than we who thought of ourselves as cultural studies scholars and textual critics. In the course of the discussion, the relationship between what we think of as disciplines, with their disciplinespecific discourse and methods, and what we refer to as “theory,” became a focal point. Was “theory” a Women in German meta-disciplinary discourse that bridged different disciplines and, in so doing, created the foundation for interdisciplinary work? Or was it, rather, a discipline of sorts of its own, with its own discursive field and methodological assumptions? While we did not resolve these questions, we seemed implicitly to agree that the question of theory was central to the question of interdisciplinarity. How, and to what ends, we resolved to leave for a next round of discussions. German Studies Association 2003, September 18-21, New Orleans, LA Women in German Session: “ Governing the Body: 20th Century Legislation on Abortion and Sexual Reproduction.” Organizers: Veronika Fuechtner (Dartmouth) and Jennifer Ruth Hosek (UC Berkeley); Moderator, Darcy Buerkle (Smith) For 2003 - the 30th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade - WiG chose “Governing the Body: 20th Century Legislation on Abortion and Sexual Reproduction” as its GSA panel. In “Righteous Women and Lost Girls: Analyzing Turn-of-the-Century Progressive Feminist Discourse on Prostitution,” Jill S. Smith (Union) illuminated what she characterizes as two important feminist discourses on sex workers that cast sex workers alternately as societal victims and as societal contaminants. Moreover, in each case, the feminists’ focus on defending the private sphere against prostitution has public ramifications, including bringing men’s sexuality under scrutiny. In “‘Hilft uns denn niemand?’ The Abortion Crisis in Weimar Germany as Maternal Melodrama” Kerstin Barndt (Michigan) showed how Friedrich Wolf’s Cynakali and Irmgard Keun’s Gigli, eine von uns variously map the “private” theme of choice in the abortion arena onto the “public” theme of choice in the political arena. Barndt demonstrates how these texts’ melodramatic forms increase the efficacy of their political messages, which seek to move their audiences to activism. In “Fathers’ Apples and Good Socialist Girls: the Political Pedagogy of Reproduction in DEFA’s Für die Liebe noch zu mager?,” Jennifer Ruth Hosek demonstrated how the film’s subtext relies variously on extra-national themes popular among GDR youth, in order to convince its young audience to willingly adhere to State preferences and policies regarding contraception. 24 Donna Harsch (Carnegie Mellon) provided a substantive commentary to the panel, including the suggestion that morality and maternity are characteristic themes in German feminisms.

September 2003 (eine Kooperationsveranstaltung vom Interdisziplinären Zentrum für Frauen- und Geschlechterstudien [IZFG] und dem PostdocKolleg Krankheit und Geschlecht der Universität Greifswald) Erzählen und Geschlecht, beides anthropologische Konstanten, wurden vor allem in den neunziger Jahren, durch die Auffassung der Kategorie gender als performativen Akt in Zusammenhang gebracht. Indem sich das Geschlecht im doing gender auflöst und die Züge eines performativen Aktes annimmt, rückt der Begriff des Erzählens in den Vordergrund. Erzählen wird so zu einem Prozess, der ein Geschlecht erst ermöglicht und produziert. Zugleich jedoch ‚erzählt’ ein solches erzähltes Geschlecht sich selbst und bildet dabei weitere Identitätsentwürfe des Selbst und des Anderen aus. Damit wird es zu einem erzählenden Geschlecht. Eine von der Fragestellungen der Tagung war „wie formiert sich das erzählende und erzählte Geschlecht?”. Folgend der Gesamtheit der Vorträge in Greifswald lässt sich diese Frage solcherweise beantworten: Wenn die Frage nach dem Zugrundeliegen entweder der Materialität oder der Diskursivität des Geschlechts in einer genderTheorie mündete, dann folgt der Zusammenhang des Erzählens und Geschlechts dem gleichen Muster. Das erzählende und erzählte Geschlecht sind untrennbar, ringförmig verbunden. Um eine analytische und kritische Einsicht zu leisten, wurde bei der Tagung 25 zwischen den unterschieden. Women in German beiden Begriffen dennoch In dem Eröffnungsvortrag vom Wolfgang Müller-Funk (Wien/Birmingham) wurde so eine (auch einer Möbiusschleife ähnelnde) Struktur – die Identität – erst mal differenziert und dann kritisch analysiert. In Der gerissene Faden, Narration, Identität, Ipseität applizierte er (nicht ohne Vorbehalte) das Ricoeursche Unterscheiden zwischen der ipse- (Selbstheit) und idem-Identität (Selbigkeit) auf das erzählende „Ich”. In einer Kultur wird das Tauschen/Annehmen verschiedener idemIdentitäten (als die äußere/soziale Identifikation mit den Kategorien gender, Alter, Ethnizität, Klasse) oft noch als bedrohlich empfunden. Literatur dagegen ermöglicht es, dass ein erzählendes Geschlecht viele verschiedene erzählte Geschlechter vorführt. Im Einklang mit der schon in dem Eröffnungsvortag erwähnten Mahnung, dass auch das theoretische Denken (wenngleich über anthropologische Konstanten) kulturbedingt ist, begab sich das erste Panel in die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Wissen und seinen Narrativen über die Geschlechterdifferenz. Die ersten zwei Vorträge Wie erzeugt man eine Generation? Zur Erzählbarkeit des Neuen in der Moderne (Stefan Willer, Berlin) und The Place of Indifference: Johann Wilhelm Ritter and the Feminine (Jocelyn Holland, Santa Barbara) leisteten eine Einsicht in die argumentativen/narrativen Strukturen des Begriffs Generation und der Geschlechterdifferenz innerhalb romantischer Physik. Mit dem Vortrag Von der Schreibfeder zum Federnalphabet. Kunstvolle Techniken der Geschlechterformierung (Petra Lange-Berndt, Hamburg) kündigte sich schon der Schwerpunkt des nächsten Blockthemas mit der Überschrift Szene an. In Rahmen dieses Panel referierten Annette Geiger (Berlin) über Mathematische Peepshow und mediales Panopticon – Das erzählte Weltwissen von Charles und Ray Eames und Silke Förschler (Berlin) über Alles Lüge, alles Wahrheit: Fotografische Strategien der Narration von Geschlechtsidentität. Gemeinsam war diesen Beiträgen die Beschäftigung mit genderKodierungen bezüglich Kunstformen, -techniken und -materialien und Darstellungskonventionen. Dem Bereich des narrativen Elements Stimme wandte sich die Tagung mit dem Vortrag Engendering Fiction oder Fiktion und das Weibliche: über den begrifflichen und erzählerischen Gebrauch von fabulae aniles bzw. nutricularum (Altweiber- bzw. Ammengeschichten) im Altertum von AlmutBarbara Renger (Greifswald) zu. Renger zeigte, wie das mündliche, weiblich kodierte Erzählen mit Hilfe der mise-en-abyme-Struktur in Rahmen eines ‚männlichen’ Genres inszeniert wird und damit die konventionellen gender-Erzähltechniken parodiert. Die Erzähltechnik der Verdoppelung erwies sich auch im Vortrag von Birgit Wagner (Wien) als ein mit großem emanzipatorischem Potential geladenes Erzählverfahren. In Erzählstimmen und mediale Stimmen. Mit einer Analyse von Assia Djebars Erzählung “Die Frauen von Algier” führte Wagner überzeugend eine Verbindung der postkolonialen theoretischen Ansätze von Gayatri C. Spivak mit der geschlechterorientierten Narratologie durch. Elisabeth Strowick (Greifswald) legte in Epik des Waldes und „Linzer Jauchn wasser”. Stifters ‚Poetik des Unreinen’ die implizite (Auto)Poetik des Stifter’schen Erzählens und seiner Schrift aus. Annette Runte (Hamburg) verwies in ihrem eruditiven und komplexen Vortrag Zentaur mit Schneiderpuppe. Trügerische Geschlechteridyllen bei Hofmannsthal, Doderer, Böcklin und de Chirico auf die Zusammenhänge der sozialen (geschichtlichen, nationalen, geschlechtlichen) und ästhetischen Modernisierung. Die letzten beiden Vorträge unternahmen kritische Blicke auf die feministische Theorie und ihr Verhältnis zum Narrativen. Franziska Gygax, (Basel), widmete sich in Narrating Illness as Autobiography and Theory dem Moment des Autobiografischen bzw. der Erfahrung innerhalb der kulturwissenschaftlichen Theorien des Brustkrebses. Im Zeichen des kulturellen Konstruktionsbewusstseins rundete sich das Treffen in Greifswald mit der provokanten Frage von Andrea Geier (Tübingen) Ist ‚Geschlecht’ eine relevante Kategorie des Erzählens? Über die offene Frage der Erzähltheorie ab. Nach Geier ist es nicht normativ vorauszusetzen, dass Geschlecht stets eine sinnstiftende Kategorie ist. Vielmehr sollte die Kategorie Geschlecht immer aufs neu analysiert werden. Damit schloss die Tagung Narrating Gender den Kreis zu einer, schon im Eröffnungsvortrag gestellten, Anmerkung. Auch die anthropologischen Konstanten, zu welchen das Erzählen wie auch Geschlecht gehören, müssen stets historisiert und hinterfragt werden. Um damit nicht nur zu einem zu kultureller Komplexität ausgewachsenen, Women in German theoretischen Instrumentarium zu gelangen, sondern dieses auch zu erweitern und damit hoffentlich auch die Kultur selbst zu bewegen. Submitted by: Katja Kobolt “Textmaschinenkörper. Genderorientierte Lektüren des Androiden”: Bericht von der FrideLTagung in Bremen, 3.-5. Oktober 2003 “Textmaschinenkörper. Genderorientierte Lektüren des Androiden” lautete der Titel der diesjährigen Tagung des Vereins ‚Frauen in der Literaturwissenschaft’, abgekürzt FrideL. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bremer Zentrum für Literaturdokumentation in der Germanistik (BreZeL), mit der Stiftung Frauen-Literatur-Forschung e.V. und der Heinrich Böll Stiftung fand sie am 3. bis 5. Oktober d. J. im Gästehaus der Bremer Universität statt. Gefördert wurde sie von der Volkswagen Stiftung. Etwa vierzig Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen aus dem In- und Ausland trafen sich, um sich auszutauschen über den Beitrag, den literarische Kunst- und Diskursformen zum Thema des künstlichen Menschen leisten. Dabei spielte der Kontext der aktuellen Debatten um Reproduktionsmedizin und Gentechnologie ebenso eine Rolle wie die Reflexion einschlägiger historischer Beispiele früherer Epochen. 15 Vorträge waren in fünf Sektionen zu hören: “Perspektiven”, “Biotechnologie”, “Puppen, Statuen, Automaten” (I u. II) und “Blickrichtungen – Apparaturen”. Nach der offiziellen Begrüßung im Namen der Universität Bremen durch Elke Ramm und Marion Schulz hielt Britta Herrmann von der Universität Bayreuth den Eröffnungsvortrag. Unter dem Titel “Das Geschlecht der Imagination: Anthropoplastik um 1800” sprach sie über die geschlechtiche Umcodierung, die die Einbildungskraft um 1800 von der mütterlichen Einbildungskraft, die nur Monster zu gebären vermag, hin zur schöpferischen Zeugungskraft des (männlichen) Genies erfuhr. Florentine Strzelczyk von der University of Calgary, Canada, schloss sich mit einem multimedialen Vortrag über Genderkonnotationen im Science-fiction-Film an: “Maschinenfrauen – Weibliche Cyborgs – Sci-FiFilme: Reflektionen über Metropolis (1926) und Star Trek: First Contact (1996). In der künstlichen Frau des Sci-Fi-Films erschienen Frau und Maschine als Kreation und Kultobjekte männlicher Zukunftsvisionen und Gegenwartsängsten, wobei Langs Klassiker sich immer wieder auf andere Verhältnisse übertragen und mit unterschiedlichen politischen Inhalten füllen lasse. Am Abend hielt 26 Rudolf Drux von der Universität zu Köln den Festvortrag. Unter dem Titel “Homunkulus oder Leben aus der Retorte. Zur Geschichte einer Männerphantasie in Literatur und Wirklichkeit” zeigte er einen Abriss durch die literarische Motivgeschichte der Zeugung menschlichen Lebens unter Ausschluss der Frau und setzte diese Motivgeschichte in den Kontext verschiedener wissenschaftshistorischer, gesellschaftlicher, ästhetischer und geschlechterpolitischer Kontexte. Am Samstagmorgen ging es weiter mit aktuellen Aspekten des Tagungsthemas. Literarische Konstruktionen des Weiblichen unter den jeweils aktuellen technologischen Bedingungen thematisierte Carola Hilmes von der Universität Frankfurt am Main als “Literarische Visionen einer künstlichen Eva” (Villiers de l’Isle Adam: L’Ève future,1886 und Angela Carter: The Passion of New Eve, 1978). Birte Giesler von der Universität Karlsruhe befragte Carl Djerassis “Unbefleckt” (1999), ein Theaterstück über künstliche Befruchtung, auf die Bedeutung der Reproduktionsmedizin für die Rollenverteilung zwischen den Geschlechtern und die im Stück angedeuteten ‚frauenbefreienden’ Folgen des biotechnologischen Fortschritts. Jutta Weber von der TU Braunschweig rundete die Sitzung “Biotechnologie” mit einem Vortrag “Über Körperkonzepte in neuerer Robotik und Technikkritik” ab. Die Herstellung von Robotern setze neuerdings auf Rückkopplungs- und Selbstlerneffekte, die die Maschinen aufgrund ihrer materiellen und örtlichen Beschaffenheit situativ erzielen, so dass ‚lebendige Artefakte mit körperlicher Welterfahrung’ entstünden. Die Sitzung “Puppen, Statuen, Automaten” eröffnete Marianne Vogel von der Universität Groningen, die über “Die Wachspuppe als das Selbst und das Andere in Romantik und Moderne” sprach und dem Funktionswandel der Wachspuppe als Projektionsfläche für Identitätskonzepte nachspürte. Während die männliche Wachspuppe in der Literatur der Romantik (Jean Paul) als Ersatz für das männliche Subjekt gestanden habe, werde sie in der Moderne zum künstlichen Anderen, das die mächtige Weiblichkeit symbolisiere. Annette Bühler-Dietrich von der Universität Stuttgart sprach über “Puppe, Leib und Subjekt zwischen R. M. Rilke und Lou Andreas-Salomé”. Anhand von Rilkes “Lotte Pritzel. Puppen” (1921) und seinem Briefwechsel mit Andreas-Salomé wurde dargelegt, dass der nicht beherrschbare sexualisierte Körper das Dichter-Ich bedrohe, so dass die Puppe bei Rilke zum Bild für den Leib werde. Der erste Teil dieser Sitzung schloss mit dem Vortrag von Gudrun Wedel von der Freien Universität Berlin über “Puppen als Lebenswerk in 27 der Autobiographie von Käthe Kruse (1883-1968)”. Käthe Kruses autobiografisches und literarisches Schreiben kreise um (ihre) Puppen und die “Entgrenzung von Künstlichkeit” – während größtmögliche Natürlichkeit die angestrebte Eigenschaft von Kruses ‚kleinen künstlichen Menschen’ gewesen sei, habe sie ihr künstlerisches Schaffen in einen eindeutigen Zusammenhang mit Mutterschaft gebracht. Nach dem Vortrag von Hans Hartje, Université de Pau, zum Thema “Weibliche Figur und maschineller Text” über die Hörspiele “Der Monolog der Terry Jo” von Max Bense und Ludwig Harig sowie “Die Maschine” von Georges Perec und Eugen Helmlé (beide 1968) schloss das Plenum. Die Sitzung über “Puppen, Statuen, Automaten” fand am Sonntagvormittag ihre Fortsetzung. Jutta Eming von der Freien Universität Berlin sprach über “Automaten in der Literatur des Mittelalters” und demonstrierte, dass die in der Literatur des Mittelalters seit dem 13. Jahrhundert vermehrt thematisierten Automaten und künstlichen Menschen für ein emotionales ‚Internalisierungsprogramm’ stehen, in dem sich vor allem das männliche Subjekt einen bestimmten zu automatisierenden Habitus aneignet. Literarischen Versionen des kabbalistischen Golemmotivs widmete sich Cathy Gelbin von der University of Manchester. In ihrem Vortrag über “Golemfiguren bei deutschjüdischen Autoren der Nachkriegsgeneration” zeigte sie unterschiedliche jüdische und nicht-jüdische Varianten des zur Trope gewordenen Motivs, das in den deutsch-jüdischen literarischen Entwürfen seit den Achtzigerjahren – etwa bei Esther Dischereith – gleichermaßen als Zeichen der Shoa und für eine neue jüdische Präsenz steht. Den letzten Sitzungsvortrag hielt Claudia Gremler von der University of Bath über “Androide und (Anti)feminismus in Bryan Forbes’ The Stepford Wives”. Forbes’ satirischer Film von 1972 erzählt aus einem neuenglischen Städtchen, in dem die Männer ihre Ehefrauen durch diesen zum Verwechseln ähnlich sehende Androiden ersetzen; mit diesen sexuell willigen und putzfreudigen MaschinenWeibchen entwirft der Film – so Gremler – eine konsequent misogyne Gesellschaft, indem der Pygmalion-Mythos von der Menschlichwerdung der Statue quasi umkehrt wird. Nach dem Abschluss der Sitzungen zu den thematischen Einzelaspekten, hielt Eva Kormann von der Universität Karlsruhe den Schlussvortrag. Unter dem Titel “Künstliche Menschen oder: Der moderne Prometheus. Der Schrecken der Autonomie” thematisierte sie die Häufung der literarischen Visionen von künstlichen Wesen um die Jahrhundertwende 1800 als einen impliziten Reflex auf die ‚Aporien der Autonomie’ Women in German und die ‚Schrecken autonomer Subjektkonstitutionen’. Die anschließende allgemeine Schlussdebatte schlug dann in einer heftigen Diskussion den Bogen von den vielfältigen Fantasien vom künstlichen Menschen früherer Epochen zur aktuellen Diskussion um die Zukunft des Menschen angesichts der immer weitreichenderen Möglichkeiten von Biotechnologie und Medizin.

Women in German that has passed. Looking used to be so much more leisurely. It has been replaced by a more sterile searching. . . A Baby Boy In case you were wondering why Sunka Simon was not at the conference this year, she was busy giving birth to her and Mike Hayse’s son, Sander Hayse Simon. He was born by C-section at 6:51 PM on October 14, weighing 7lbs and 15oz. Baby and mom are both doing well. Fascinating Clicks Editor: Yvonne Huoy E–mail: [email protected] German and Russian Department 550 N. Harvard Avenue Pomona College Claremont, CA 91711 Phone: 909-621-8620 Fax: 909-621-8065 Submissions policy: Please send directly to Yvonne any items of interest for Wiggies relating to the Internet to the address listed above. The 19th century archive and the experience of it is morphing. Whether it is changing is another question. Towering shelves, limited browsing hours, and the musty smell of slowly and inevitably disintegrating paper and leather might be replaced by sterile-looking sans serif fonts clean-looking webpages and 365/24/7 availability, but visiting the 21st century (web)archive still rewards those persistent (or stubborn) and creative (or just lucky) enough to brave its still labyrinthine and overwhelming spaces. One case: The Antiquarischer Buecher http://www.zvab.de/ 28 Zentrale Verband available at This website seems to make the flanerie through urban streets and obscure bookstores obsolete, but the operation of looking and finding remains eerily similar. Each individual bookstore listed here retains its eccentricity. One is able to search by keywords, but looking and finding continues to depend on your willingness to windowshop through the surprising streets of the Electropolis, with both bright boulevards and blind alleys. The (ill)logical filing systems, unique for every online store, continue to make every discovery a serendipitous moment. As an occasional Antiquariat flaneuse I find myself nostalgic for a time Regardless, I am happy that the Electropolis contains this space in which I can indulge in moments of 21st century Flanerie. Who has time to travel and stroll in today’s fast-moving world? Gotta write another article. Where do I find my primary sources NOW? Perhaps the online catalogue for the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (StaBiKat for short) available at http://opc.Staatsbibliothek-berlin.de:8080/ Some background before I take you on a walk through the online StaBiKat: I fondly remember my two years of dissertation research in Berlin, getting to the Stabi early ‘cause by 11 am all seats were taken. The resources in this beautiful and inspiring space were continuously stretched as generous Cold War subsidies to the cities of Berlin, East and West, lessened to a trickle. In the mid-1990s this venerable, wonderful repository of information was just moving into the 20th century with its less than efficient mode of bringing information and scholar together. Typically the scholar had to get past tedious microfiche catalogues and surly librarians to get information. The Stabi’s movement into the 20th century was so glacial that their move into the 21st century with the online StaBiKat seems like one of the wonders of the world. As I navigated the virtual Stabi, echoes of physical navigations of the Stabi cropped up. At the physical Stabi the scholar was initiated into the arcana of the Stabi’s unique (gewöhnungsbedürftige) organization on (physical) site with an hour-plus-long presentation. At the StaBiKat initiation takes place via reams of online explanations. Either way you research, on physical site or online, you need to be ready to invest time to brave the Sigel system. That the Stabi continues to provide an important service with only minimal resources become apparent immediately when opening its homepage: Online ordering of materials cannot be done on weekends and holidays.

To this end, we sponsor the annual WiG conference, distribute a quarterly newsletter, publish an annual journal, confer an annual prize for the best dissertation, and offer limited research funding for graduate students.The dissertation prize is funded from the Women in German Memorial Fund, established in 1993 to honor the memory of Sydna “Bunny” Weiss, and later rededicated to the memory of all treasured WiG members now deceased. As WiG lost other dear friends, Sigrid Brauner, Ann Clark Fehn, Konstanze Bäumer, Marilyn Sibley Fries, and Susanne Zantop. The memorial fund has built up to a level sufficient to sustain the dissertation prize for several years into the future. The Zantop Fund, created specifically for graduate student travel, has the opportunity to become self-sustaining if we are able to meet the challenge of raising $10,000 to be matched by an anonymous donor. Therefore, we are asking members to designate their donations to the Zantop Challenge Fund through the end of next year, in order to endow the fund. By focusing our giving on one fund for this limited period of time, we stand to gain greater flexibility in the future. WiG has been recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization. Thus, contributions to WiG are tax-deductible. Donor Categories up to $50 up to $100 up to $250 up to $500 up to $1,000 over $1,000 Friend Associate Supporter Sponsor Benefactor Sustaining Patron Thank you for your support of Women in German!
