The German Studies session explores aspects of German language, culture, literature, or media. Papers may relate to the conference theme, "Our Ruling Classes: Culture, Power, Conflict," but need not do so.

The German Studies session is open to all papers that explore some aspect of German language, culture, literature, or media. We welcome proposals both related to the conference theme, "Our Ruling Classes: Culture, Power, Conflict," and those not related to the conference theme.

While we are open to any well-researched scholarship on German language, literature, film, or culture, the following topics are of particular interest:

· Translation and adaptation in German literature or film

· Shifting or revisionary interpretations of German literary, filmic, or cultural texts

· Depictions of the urban or the nonurban in German literature, film, and media

· Modernism and Postmodernism in German literature, film, and media

· The Holocaust in German literature, film, and media

· Contemporary German Multinationalism and Diversity

· Film, literature, art and culture of/about the DDR
