How does literature think & act through aesthetic form? And where does German Studies stand in the international field?
These questions are at the heart of the Zurich Distinguished Lectures. Since 2016, widely recognized international scholars, who have made significant contributions to German Studies and actively engage with contemporary aesthetic, ethical, and political debates, have been invited to participate in searching for new answers.
German Studies is an international field, in which boundaries are not drawn but opened. Departments outside Switzerland, Austria, and Germany have not only provided essential impulses for aesthetic and political discussions but have also shaped the discipline’s self-conception through their interdisciplinary approaches. Today, German Studies unfolds its creative potential between its philological origins and its interdisciplinary future. This lecture series invites to the transgression of boundaries.
