The Karl Anatol Center for Faculty Development

Who is this Schiller [now]? Friedrich Schiller 1759-1805-2009 California State University Long Beach The Karl Anatol Center for Faculty Development Thursday September 10-Saturday September 12, 2009

The works of Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805)—one of Germany’s first historians, an important aesthetic theorist, and a revolutionary dramatist and poet for the ages—are among the best known of world literature. On the occasion of his 250th birthday, the Long Beach Schiller Colloquium seeks to promote debate on the many flash-points and canonical shifts in the cyclically polarized reception of Schiller and his works. Papers will address reception problems from Schiller’s time to the present in pursuit of contemporary answers to Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s prophetic expression of frightened admiration in 1794:

“Who is this Schiller?”—

Who has he been? —

and…

Who is this Schiller now?

California State University Long Beach The Karl Anatol Center for Faculty Development Thursday September 10-Sunday September 12, 2009

The life and works of Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805)--one of Germany’s first historians, an important aesthetic theorist, and an international dramatist and poet for the ages--are among the best known of German and world literature. From his first major drama, Die Räuber (The Robbers, 1781), to his last, Wilhelm Tell (1804), Schiller’s explosive original artistry and feel for timely and enduring personal tragedy embedded in timeless socio-historical conflicts remain the topic of lively academic debate over 200 years after his death in 1805 and on the occasion of his 250th birthday in 2009. The 2009 Long Beach Schiller Colloquium seeks to promote debate on the many flash-points and canonical reception shifts in the cyclically polarized reception of Schiller and his works. Specifically, papers will address reception problems from Schiller’s time to the present in pursuit of historical and contemporary answers to Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s prophetic expression of frightened admiration in 1794: “Who is this Schiller?”--Who has he been?--and Who is this Schiller now?

The event is open to the public at no cost.
