Words, Texts, Images: Selected Papers from the Conference of University Teachers of German, University of Oxford, April 2001Katrin Maria Kohl, Ritchie Robertson The fifteen papers assembled here, by a range of senior and junior academics at universities throughout the British Isles, represent current work in German studies, from language history through literature and film studies to intellectual and social history. Dealing especially with controversies over the representation of race, the philosophical implications of genetics, the writing of twentieth-century literary history and the consequences of unification, they demonstrate the vitality of German studies and the close ties between the study of German culture and the rest of the humanities. |
