Discussions of any aspect of Schiller’s work or reception of his work are welcome. Globalization and Popular Culture in Germany. N.

Richard Sperber, rsperber@carthage.eduThis special session invites submissions on any aspect of German travel writing, including ethnography, colonialism, and film. Blurring Boundaries: Exploring the Murky Edges of (semi-biographical/autobiographical) Writing. Kristy Boney, Kristy.Boney@uky.eduIn her biography of Rahel Varnhagen, The Life of a Jewess, Hannah Arendt writes that she was trying to present Varnhagen’s life as if she were writing it herself. In doing so, Arendt uses Varnhagen to represent Arendt’s own individual views, and thus blurs the boundaries between autobiography and biography, between the personal and the public, and between the private (and/or cultural) and the political. This panel seeks to explore the third grey area that emerges when two seemingly separate spheres merge together. Regular Panels: Graduate Student Panel: Joseph D. O’Neil, jdonei2@email.uky.edu and Hillary Hope Herzog, hherzog@uky.edu 18th Century: Michael Jones, mjones@uky.edu and Joseph D.
