Digital German-Jewish Futures: Experiential Learning, Activism, and Entertainment. Abstract The future of the German-Jewish past is, in a word, digital, and not only in the sense of digital humanities or digital history. Future generations of scholars, students, and the general public will engage with the past online in the same ways—and for many of the same reasons—that they engage with everything else. There needs to be something redeeming, enjoyable, or at least memorable about studying history for people to feel that it is worthwhile. For many, the act of learning about the past serves as a kind of virtual travel, even an escape, to another time and place. Learning about German-Jewish history becomes possible on a regular basis when it is easily accessible through the newest media on computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices.

Representing Veterans of the First World War in German Literature and Culture During the Weimar Republic & Now
Looking Back at the Lost Generation: Representing Veterans of the First World War in German Literature and Culture during the Weimar Republic & Now Jairo Izaguirre, Class of 2022 Inspired by my seminar on the “Literature and Culture of the Great War and the Weimar Republic” (GER 3390) with Professor Jill Smith, I aimed to investigate how men of the “lost generation,” those who fought in and survived the First World War, are depicted in the literature and visual works (film, graphic fiction, television) of two separate time periods: the period between the First World War and the takeover of the National Socialist or Nazi regime (1918-1933) and the present day (2008-present). In regard to the first period, which is usually known as the Weimar Republic, I investigated two key questions: First, what sorts of physical and psychological wounds did the veterans of WWI have, and which of these were seen as new? For instance, how did what came to be known as “shell shock” manifest itself physically and mentally in veterans? Second, how were literature and art used as a way to process the trauma of war? What works were produced by veterans, and how do those differ from works written about them by someone who did not experience the war firsthand? While a significant body of scholarship on this topic during the Weimar era does exist and was an essential part of my project, little to no scholarly attention has yet been given to the present moment. As the centenary of the First World War approached, I argue, writers, artists, directors, and producers displayed renewed interest in the war and its effects on those who fought in it.

Abstracts Producers, distributors and audiences of European crime narratives 2019 Conference Aalborg University September 30 – October 2 Venue Kroghstræde 3 Aalborg 1 September 30 ___________________________ 1. Crime Scene France (11:45-12:45, Room 1.111) Chair: Löic Artiaga Jacques Migozzi, University of Limoges "French polar Ltd."? Two decades of crime fiction import/export observed from France Thanks to the fame attached to the French "polar" and "néopolar" in the last three decades of the XXth century, France crime fiction might be considered as the European heiress of the canonic hard-boiled genre, "literature of crisis" according Jean-Patrick Manchette, which assumes an inquisitorial and politically based point on view. But in the last two decades, the French literary crime fiction market has been marked by the arrival of non-French European authors in crime fiction publishing collections, in awards categories, in the new "international" labels and programs of crime fiction festivals. A renewal of French crime fiction can however be observed at the same time, in two different ways: according to a pan European and even global phenomenon, the French thriller genre is increasing tremendously, and is quite widely exported for its main authors, meanwhile the French literary field seems to remain mostly focused on the French "noir", persisting in granting symbolic capital to critical narratives about contemporary societies and their dark wings, even if the main awarded French noir authors are not similarly translated abroad. This paper will aim to scrutinize this paradoxical internationalization, studying both the dissimilar export of the French crime fiction leaders, and the dynamic appropriation by French publishers of a large range of European crime fictions.

Written and Directed by Tom Tykwer, Hendrik Handloegten and Achim
Written and directed by Tom Tykwer, Hendrik Handloegten and Achim von Borries Original Babylon Berlin Title Based on Volker Kutscher Written and Tom Tykwer, Achim von Borries, directed by Hendrik Handloegten Showrunner Tom Tykwer (PERFUME – THE STORY OF A MURDERER, RUN LOLA RUN) Format one hour series Genre Historical Crime Drama Produced by X Filme Creative Pool in co– production with Beta Film SYNOPSIS The peak of the Golden Twenties, a city dancing on the edge of the volcano. Politics and crime, sex and drugs, emancipation and extremism - if you had talent, ambition or hustle there was only one place to be: The Babylon of the Twenties – Babylon Berlin. Run-down, war-shattered Berlin has transformed into the most vibrant metropolis of its time. Home to more newspapers than London, more theaters than New York City and to a night life so dazzling and decadent, it outshines Paris as the capital of hedonism. But beneath the glittering surface, the political turmoil of the Weimar Republic, growing poverty and unemployment are fertile soil for the rise of political extremism and organized crime. Babylon Berlin is a large-scale crime drama set in the middle of the fascinating and disturbing contradictions of these times. The series unfolds in a kaleidoscope of milieus and characters, depicting a diverse portrait of a legendary era. All threads revolve around the Red Fort, Berlin’s monumental police headquarters at Alexanderplatz. Gereon Rath, a young police officer from Cologne is sent to the capital to join the vice squad. His father, an influential police commissioner, insists that Gereon gets his hands on Johann König’s latest exploits, a series of utterly explicit films.
