This panel examines the role of institutions in late-medieval literature and the contexts in which it is encountered and studied.

Taylor Swift is everywhere, it seems, and teachers at all levels have begun to Taylor-tailor their courses to harness her popularity for student learning.

The critically acclaimed science fiction series Severance (produced by Ben Stiller and created by Dan Erickson, 2022-) explores the idea of surgically dividing a person’s memories between their work and private lives. It raises many thought-provoking questions, embedded in a rich environment of cultural references and equipped with a distinct visual style, nuanced storytelling, and outstanding performances of its cast. With its second season, it has become the most successful production by Apple TV+ so far and is widely discussed by critics and fans. A large part of the fascination for the series comes from the multitude of possible readings it elicits.

The way our current globally interconnected and digitally enabled capitalist formation continuously reshapes itself to reinforce categories of class and overarching capitalist structures requires analyses that engage and critique these adaptive forces of capital. Responding to this need, this seminar seeks to examine the relationship of texts to a global capitalist economy by asking how class and capitalism function within and exert force upon texts and their contexts—in film, literature, art, video games, social media, and other extratextual spaces such as fan sites.

The Jahrbuch für internationale Germanistik, published by Peter Lang and indexed by the Web of Science (Arts and Humanities Index – AHCI) and Book Citation Index (BKCI), is calling for submissions for its upcoming special issue on Addiction and Crisis in German and English Narratives.

This issue will address how addiction—in its various manifestations such as substance abuse, behavioral dependency, and psychological compulsions—is depicted in literature and culture. We particularly seek contributions that situate addiction within broader societal, existential, and ecological crises in German- and English-language narratives.

Possible areas of focus include but are not limited to:

Seminar  “P raises his head”. Acts of Resistance in Samuel Beckett

Convenors:

Davide Crosara (“Sapienza” Università di Roma) davide.crosara@uniroma1.it

Rossana Sebellin  (Università degli Studi di Roma “Tor Vergata”) sebellin@lettere.uniroma2.it
