Very excited to receive Flora Roussel’s fabulous edited volume ‘Embodied Realities. Tracing Multitudes in Germanophone Feminist and Queer Literature, Film and Art’. It’s volume #24 in the legendary #PeterLangOxford Women, Gender and Sexuality series, edited by me and @katherinestone.bsky.social
Such a wonderful panel on Elias Canetti, his networks & possible influences - Mary Douglas, H. G. Adler, Norbert Elias - ending with a feminist discussion of Marie-Louise von Motesiczky. Ranging across art history, sociology & literary studies, here's to more of these interdisciplinary discussions!
In conversation with the iconic @ankahajkova.bsky.social about Holocaust testimony, feminist rage and the tricky question of artistic quality in Holocaust literature. Thank you so much to @wienerlibrary.bsky.social for wonderful hosting and such a thoughtful audience!
Graduation is always a wonderful and iconic day, particularly wie one of your @lcsleeds.bsky.social graduates drives their Trabi up to campus! Huge congratulations to the German graduating class of 2025, and to Dr. Corey Hartley #ProudDoktormutter
