Professor Diederichsen will introduce the three-year, multi-national exhibition and research project Hubert Fichte: Love & Ethnology, jointly organized by Goethe Institut and Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin. The project takes the nineteen-volume novel cycle Die Geschichte der Empfindsamkeit, which Fichte worked on between 1970 and 1986, as a starting point. The seminar discussion will be based on three excerpts from a novel of this cycle, Explosion: Roman der Ethnologie (Excerpt 1, Excerpt 2, Excerpt 3). The seminar will be conducted in German. Reception to follow.
The events are sponsored by the Center for Western Civilization, Thought & Policy, the Laboratory for Race & Popular Culture (RAP Lab), and the Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages & Literatures.
The Center for Western Civilization, Thought and Policy funds research and educational initiatives that contribute to critical reflection on the development of Western civilization. All CU Boulder faculty and students are eligible to apply. If you are interested in applying for a CWCTP faculty grant, deadlines are rolling throughout the year.
