The Antipodean East European Study Group invites you to a conference next weekend!
"Germanness Beyond Germany."
24 September 2011.
This conference aims to explore how Germans beyond the core German region of Central Europe imagined their collective loyalties. The conference explores the interaction between Germanness and other political loyalties that can be credibly described as “national.” We are particularly interested in contributions that help undermine the problematic yet persistent dichotomy of “civic nationalism” vs. “ethnic nationalism.” Papers examine both non-German regions of the Habsburg Empire and its successor states (Hungary, Galicia, and Transylvania), and German communities in the Pacific region (Australia, New Zealand, Tonga).
Guest speakers include: Monika Durrer (University of Western Australia), Sacha Davis (Sydney/Newcastle), James Bade (Auckland), and Christine Winter (University of Queensland).
The conference will take place in OK 406 (the Wood Seminar Room) at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. It is free and open to the public.
