Call for Papers
Experimentations: German and Scandinavian Studies
A Graduate Student Conference at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst
18-19 February 2006

The graduate students in Germanic Languages and Literatures at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst are pleased to announce an upcoming
conference in German and Scandinavian Studies. Experimentations: German
and Scandinavian Studies will be an interdisciplinary forum for emerging
theorists and scholars in these areas and will provide an enriching and
intriguing mixture of subject matter and scholarly interests.

Furthering the disciplines in which they work and learn, emerging
researchers examine, critique, discuss, and interact with the work of
their predecessors, while simultaneously offering their own theories and
ideas. The graduate students of today change the faces of their
disciplines and are crucial constituents of the academic world.

With this in mind, the conference organizers call for proposals for
papers in German and Scandinavian Studies that deal with
experimentation(s). “Experimentation” can be interpreted broadly.
Presentations should be no longer than 20 minutes and should be in
English, though abstracts (one page) may be submitted in English,
German, or Swedish. Please submit proposals by October 31, 2005. Papers
will be organized into appropriate panels. For more information, please
visit the conference website:
<http://www.umass.edu/germanic/experimentations/>. Questions and
abstracts can be sent to <[log in to unmask]> and
<[log in to unmask]>.

We encourage and welcome interdisciplinary work. Papers may come from
(but are not limited to) the following fields:
Politics
Cinema
Art and architecture
Popular culture
Gender and/or sexuality
Music
Literary studies
History
