Conference: Adorno & Poetry<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Organizers: Lukas Hoffman, Carolina-Duke Program in German Studies; George Kovalenko, University of Denver<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We invite submissions for a proposed panel on Adorno and Poetry at the 2023 German Studies Association<\/em> conference, to be held in Montreal, October 5-8. In the wake of many contemporary theorists (such as Jacques Ranci\u00e8re, Alan Badiou, Giorgio Agamben, or Judith Butler) pointing to poetic form as a place of political praxis\u2014of community formation\u2014this panel seeks to explore the lyric theory of Theodor W. Adorno, whose 1951 \u201cOn Lyric Poetry and Society\u201d sparked an international conversation about the potential political character of poetic production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Paper topics may include Adorno\u2019s own theory of the lyric, Adornian inflections or interventions in a range of lyric projects, critiques or explications of Adorno\u2019s poetics, Adorno\u2019s posthumous Aesthetic Theory<\/em> and the lyric, transnational and transhistorical complications to the Adornian lyric, Adorno and the contemporary lyric, and poetry after Auschwitz. Interested parties should send an abstract in English or German of no more than 500 words along with a brief bio to george.kovalenko@du.edu<\/a> by February 15th<\/sup>. Submissions in German are especially welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Henry Pickford (Duke) has forwarded the following call for papers, which I am happy to post here: Conference: Adorno & …<\/p>\n
