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.

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

your institution would be interested in hosting a

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).

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

Conference Site 2006-2008
The time to start thinking about our next
conference site is now! 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!

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.

Zantop Research Travel Support Award
Inspired by the work of Susanne Zantop,
Women in German announces its award to help
nurture and sustain research and publication in
feminist cultural studies. 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.

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

WiG Conference 2004—Carrollton, KY
Thursday Night Session
“How Out Can We Be?”
As members of an organization promoting
feminist German Studies, our scholarship and politics
inform and are informed by our attitudes towards
sexual orientation. 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
and
Vibs Petersen
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!

newest, brilliant research idea! What did you do in

Pre-20th-Century Panel
“Does History Matter?”
This panel seeks to explore what place the
study of history and of pre-20th-century literature,
culture, science and thought has in contemporary
feminist and/or queer theory and practice. 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
and
Jennifer Askey
•
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
and
Ulrike Brisson
Women in German
and
Monika Moyrer
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.

words in an e-mail (no attachments please) by March

“Beyond Marriage: Feminist Interventions”
This
panel
will
explore
feminist
interventions into dominant discourses on the
8
institution of marriage at a time when same-sex
unions hhave become reality in Germany but still
remain hotly contested in the U.S.
We invite paper proposals that engage either
historical and/or contempoary German-language texts
(literature, film, popular/subcultural artifacts, mass
media, etc.) that promote the unmaking of marriage
as a privileged institution and locate bliss beyond the
domain of institutionally sanctioned unions. Papers
that engage in cross-cultural, trans-historiccal and/or
interdisciplinary
perspectives
are
especially
welcome.

“Austrian Feminist Writers”
Session sponsored by the Coalition of Women in

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.

‘Gender Constructions in Contemporary Literature
and Film”
German
9
Women in German
Gender and sexuality are a prevalent theme
in contemporary German literature and film, and they
address a number of different issues. 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.

“(Re)imagining the GDR”
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.

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. It is also
envisaged that a volume would emerge from the
conference which would aim to provide a central
focus and platform for Bachmann research in the
coming years.

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

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.

The Politics of Memory: Memory and the
Emergence of ‘Vaterliteratur’ in Germany
Conference of the International Society for the Study
of European Ideas
Aug. 2-7, 2004; Pamplona, Spain
The Existentialist philosopher Karl Jaspers
is the spiritual father of a discourse that is emerging
only now. 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.

Germany and the Imagined East: 12th Annual
Interdisciplinary German Studies Conference
March 13-14, 2004; University of California at
Berkeley
This conference will examine the German
notion of the East as something that denotes merely a
geographic location but also connotes a wide array of
varying ideas. 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?
The Colonial East
Gender Perspectives on the “Easterner”
Eastern Empires (Prussia, Austria)
Women in German
•
•
•
•
•
•
Conflicting
or
Complementary
Philosophies?
Literary East-West Parallels
East-West
Musical,
Religious,
etc.
Influences
Tropes of a Feared East
The “East” within the “West” (diaspora)
Indo-Germanic Connections
Deadline for submissions: January 5, 2004

“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.

“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).

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.

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

“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.

“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

The probability of having one or more

“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.

“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

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

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

“ ‘Nekromantik’: The Representation of the
(Un)Dead in Germanic Literary and Visual Culture”
Kristin Thomas, Indiana University
This diorama combines the various strands
of my dissertation under the term “Nekromantik,” a
concept borrowed from independent filmmaker Jörg
Buttgereit’s 1989 horror film of the same title.
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.

“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.

“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.

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.

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.

Donna Harsch (Carnegie Mellon) provided a
substantive commentary to the panel, including the
suggestion that morality and maternity are
characteristic themes in German feminisms.

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,

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

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.
Thanks to Sonja Fritzsche for sharing her
fascinating clicks!

Women in German
WiG Memorial Fund
Women in German was founded to promote feminist teaching and scholarship in German literary and
cultural studies. 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.
