International Conference: ‘“Violence Elsewhere” After 9/11 in Germany

9/11 marks a paradigm shift in understandings of violence in Germany, as it does worldwide. This three-day conference focuses on (trans)cultural imaginings of "violence elsewhere" since that moment. Topics will range from the cultural production of Germans with migrant background, through (cultural) imaginings of insurgent violence in Syria, the cultural meaning and representations of the Bundeswehr, to sci-fi and imagined future violence.
